• Diagnose and resolve network issues affecting production equipment, including VLAN, subnet, and IP protocol faults.
• Analyze trends in equipment and process data to identify root causes, solutions, and improvements.

Process improvement

• Identify and implement continuous improvement projects in changeover reduction, yield improvement, OEE improvement, maintenance reliability, and waste reduction.
• Develop project justification and engineering proposals, providing input for the capital planning process.
• Participate in new equipment design, providing input for the development of User Requirements, Specifications, and documentation required to qualify new equipment and processes.
• Serve as a project resource for new equipment installations, retrofits, and upgrades, and assist with executing validation protocols for equipment and processes.

Quality, compliance, and documentation
