Engineering MET Tech II

Role Purpose

Apply scientific principles and sound judgment to complete technical projects, make decisions based on engineering methods, and collaborate across departments to address process and product issues while ensuring operational reliability. Independently manage medium to large projects, enhancing manufacturing capabilities with new ideas and methods while resolving moderately complex problems with minimal guidance.

Key Responsibilities

• Support and develop projects to increase machine reliability in area of responsibility
• Expected to provide 24X7 on-call support of equipment and process issues when escalated
• Support cost reduction, process improvement and waste reduction projects (including DMAIC and DESGN level projects)
• Support Equipment Improvement Efforts, including guiding team members from other cross functional areas in area of responsibility
• Provide problem solving support to production operations as needed for process and machine issues
• Manage production process performance improvement projects (Safety, Yield, Cost, Capacity).
• Interface with operators, team leaders and peers to develop and implement process, equipment, or safety improvements into manufacturing
• Work with engineering to develop equipment specifications/requirements.
• Develop operator training and troubleshooting documentation
• Provide support to division/process engineering during design reviews for new processes and equipment
• Support other departments with data collection and reporting
• Support Process Specialists with the training of production personnel on new equipment
• Formally document all aspects of improvement activities
• Provide problem solving support for plant equipment including training support personnel to improve troubleshooting skills plant-wide
• Document processes and procedures required to enable production to run equipment and products efficiently and within specifications
• Support the transfer of new cabling technology, materials, or processes from development to production. Provide processing support during product development. Ensure all production documentation is completed such as MI's, SOP's, PM's, calibration, and troubleshooting guides

• Work Schedule: Mon – Fri 8 hrs/day (OT/Weekend work will be required)
• On-call support may change from 24X7 support to rotational. Expected to be next level equipment support of maintenance work order escalation in high volume / low downtime environment.
