Description

The Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for establishing and maintaining process recipes to safely produce products that meet codes, specifications, and customer requirements at the lowest possible cost. Continuous improvement of the glass‑making process is expected to eliminate waste, enhance safety, reduce cost, increase capacity, and boost productivity and product quality.

In the area of safety and sustainability, the engineer ensures a safe, clean, and environmentally compliant workplace, develops control plans, work instructions, and reaction procedures for forehearths, production lines, and packaging areas, and creates risk assessments for critical tasks. Personal safety action plans are implemented and reviewed, and safety metrics such as RIR, first aids, near misses, and critical incidents are monitored.

Regarding customers, the engineer identifies and teaches critical product characteristics, develops procedures to consistently meet or exceed customer expectations, and supports experiments or trials for new and existing products and packaging to ensure fitness for use.

For process performance, the engineer conducts audits of critical product characteristics and process variables, determines process capability (Cpk), implements control‑charting schemes, and creates operator control plans. Responsibilities include troubleshooting variability, analyzing data, implementing improvements, executing corrective actions from quality complaints, training employees, and collaborating with maintenance and operations to resolve equipment issues and develop reaction procedures.

In talent development, the engineer educates employees on manufacturing processes and process‑control procedures, partners with both salaried and hourly staff to develop operator control plans, and works with maintenance and operations to implement operator‑based care plans using TPM principles.

• Establish and maintain process recipes to produce compliant products at lowest cost.
• Ensure a safe, clean, and environmentally compliant work environment; develop control plans and risk assessments.
• Identify and teach critical product characteristics; develop procedures to meet or exceed customer expectations.
• Conduct process audits, determine capability (Cpk), and implement control‑charting schemes.
• Develop and enforce operator control plans to reduce product and process variation.
• Analyze data, recommend optimizations, and implement corrective actions from quality issues.
• Partner with maintenance and operations to resolve equipment problems and create reaction procedures.
• Educate and train employees on process control and TPM‑based equipment care.
• Manage multiple projects, communicate across all organization levels, and travel 5‑10% as needed.

Requirements

The position requires a bachelor’s degree in engineering and at least two years of experience in a manufacturing or technical environment, with a preference for completion of an engineering development program. Required knowledge includes customer needs, product specifications, cost drivers, critical process variables, statistical methods, fiberglass production, and basic TPM principles. The role demands strong communication, multitasking, ethical conduct, results‑orientation, change‑agent abilities, and up to 5‑10% travel.

• Hold a bachelor's in engineering with at least 2 years of manufacturing or technical experience.
