Process Engineer - Torque Tools & Vision Systems

Overview :

• Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related discipline.
• Minimum 4+ years of experience in process engineering, manufacturing engineering, or similar manufacturing environments, with hands-on experience working with torque tools.
• This position is responsible for supporting manufacturing operations through the implementation, validation, sustaining, and troubleshooting of production processes and equipment, with a strong focus on torque tools and vision systems.
• The Process Engineer will work hands-on within the manufacturing environment to ensure torque requirements are consistently achieved, support the implementation and ongoing performance of torque tooling, and troubleshoot process or equipment issues impacting production.
• The role will also support vision systems used within manufacturing processes, requiring a practical understanding of how these systems operate and how environmental conditions, particularly changes in lighting, can affect their performance and reliability.
• The ideal candidate is a hands-on problem solver with strong technical foundations, a high level of curiosity, and a genuine willingness to learn and teach others.
• This individual should be comfortable investigating problems with limited guidance, learning new processes and technologies, and sharing that knowledge across the team.

Key Responsibilities :

Torque Tools & Process Control

• Support the implementation and sustaining of torque tools within manufacturing operations.
• Measure and validate torque to ensure defined process requirements are consistently achieved.
• Troubleshoot torque tooling and process issues impacting production.
• Investigate process deviations and identify potential root causes.
• Support ongoing process reliability and production readiness.

Vision Systems

• Support and troubleshoot vision systems used within manufacturing processes.
• Understand how lighting and other environmental conditions can impact vision system performance.
• Investigate inconsistent vision results and identify factors affecting system reliability.
• Support adjustments and improvements required to maintain stable vision processes.

Equipment Implementation & Production Readiness

• Support the implementation of new machines, tools, and manufacturing equipment.
• Identify and troubleshoot issues during equipment implementation and production ramp-up.
• Investigate equipment failures, including machines stopping mid-process or not operating as intended.
• Work through technical issues to help bring equipment to production-ready status.
• Provide ongoing sustaining support once equipment is operational.

Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement

• Troubleshoot manufacturing process and equipment issues directly on the production floor.
• Analyze problems and independently investigate potential causes and solutions.
• Support root cause identification and corrective actions.
• Identify opportunities to improve process reliability and manufacturing performance.
• Apply Lean Manufacturing principles where appropriate.

Training & Collaboration

• Work closely with manufacturing, operations, maintenance, and engineering teams.
• Communicate effectively in a fast-paced production environment.
• Learn new processes, equipment, and technologies as manufacturing needs evolve.
• Share technical knowledge and lessons learned with other team members.
• Help train and develop others on processes and equipment when needed.

Profile:

• Strong hands-on manufacturing mindset.
• Highly curious with a strong desire to understand how and why processes work.
• Eager to learn new technologies, equipment, and manufacturing processes.
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities.
• Able to investigate problems and develop potential solutions with limited guidance.
• Comfortable working directly with production equipment and manufacturing teams.
• Willing and able to share knowledge and teach others.
• Strong communication skills.
• Able to remain effective in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and under production pressure.
• Self-motivated and proactive when identifying and resolving problems.

Must Have:

• Hands-on experience working with torque tools in a manufacturing environment.
• Practical understanding of torque processes, including measuring or validating torque against defined requirements.
• Experience supporting, sustaining, or troubleshooting torque tooling and related manufacturing processes.
• Working knowledge of manufacturing vision systems and how they operate.
• Understanding of how lighting and environmental conditions affect vision system performance and reliability.
• Hands-on manufacturing or process engineering experience.
• Experience troubleshooting manufacturing equipment and/or production process issues.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to investigate technical issues with limited guidance.
• Strong willingness and ability to learn new processes and technologies.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Good to Have:

• Process Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering background.
• Experience within automotive, engine manufacturing, assembly, or similar production environments.
• Experience supporting the implementation or launch of new manufacturing equipment.
• Experience with equipment ramp-up and production readiness activities.
• Lean Manufacturing experience.
• Continuous improvement experience.
• Root cause analysis experience.
• Experience training or transferring technical knowledge to operators, technicians, or other engineers.
