Manage project workstreams and external partners including equipment builders, system integrators, and suppliers to deliver fully integrated process systems on time and on budget, while ensuring all manufacturing documentation and technical reports meet internal standards. Support root cause identification and resolution for manufacturing issues, lead process qualification plans, and champion a safe, ergonomic work environment through Kaizen and 5S initiatives. Experiences/Education - Required Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electronic Engineering, or a related engineering field. 5+ years of hands on experience in manufacturing process engineering in an industrial or maquiladora environment. Active Green Belt Certification required; Black Belt or Lean Belt certification is a strong advantage. Solid command of statistical tools: DOE, GR&R, process capability analysis, regression analysis, and hypothesis testing. Proven knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles and Kaizen methodology; project management experience required. Advanced English proficiency (80%+) required for technical communication with global teams and suppliers. Demonstrated ability to lead project teams, coach engineers, and drive results across cross-functional groups. Ability to travel up to 20% based on project and business needs. Experience with plastic transformation process (extrusion, molding, blow molding) What we offer? Competitive salary and benefits package above mandatory law requirements. Relocation assistance available for qualified candidates from other cities. Clear technical and leadership career progression within a global company.
