    Description

    About the Organization:

    We are in the middle of a true operational transformation — moving from tribal knowledge and reactive processes to a disciplined, data-driven, standardized manufacturing environment. This is not "check-the-box Lean." We are building systems, accountability, and a sustainable culture of continuous improvement. If you are hands-on, execution-focused, and motivated by measurable results, this is an opportunity to drive real change.

    Position Overview:

    The Senior Continuous Improvement Engineer will lead high-impact operational improvement initiatives across manufacturing. This role goes beyond analysis — you will implement solutions, train teams, standardize processes, and ensure improvements are sustained. High visibility role working cross-functionally with Production, Quality, Engineering, and Supply Chain, with direct visibility to senior leadership.

    Responsibilities:

    • Lead continuous improvement and lean manufacturing initiatives
    • Identify and eliminate operational bottlenecks (quality escapes, rework, prep time, inefficient assembly, material flow issues, etc.)
    • Lead Lean and Six Sigma (DMAIC) projects delivering measurable improvements in cost, quality, and cycle time
    • Drive root cause analysis and implement sustainable corrective actions
    • Convert tribal knowledge into Standard Work, SOPs, and clear work instructions and help move the operation toward a paperless, analytics-driven environment
    • Support development of scalable, repeatable processes
    • Develop and track KPIs (scrap, rework, downtime, OTD, cycle time)
    • Analyze shop floor data and present actionable insights to leadership
    • Measure and report savings in dollars, hours reduced, and risk mitigation
    • Support ERP improvements, system integrations and implement visual management tools and structured shop floor controls
    • Implement digital tools (Power BI, Excel, Power Automate, digital checklists)
    • Deliver hands-on Lean/CI training to operators, leads, and supervisors
    • Lead Kaizen events, Gemba walks, and cross-functional improvement workshops
    • Reinforce accountability and continuous improvement mindset at all levels

    Requirements:

    • Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
    • 3+ years of hands-on manufacturing engineering or continuous improvement experience
    • Strong knowledge of Lean Manufacturing (5S, VSM, SMED, Poka-Yoke, Visual Management) and Six Sigma (DMAIC, root cause analysis)
    • Experience developing standard work, driving real improvements, measurable cost savings, cycle time reductions and shop floor digital tools
    • Bilingual English/Spanish Required

    Nice to Have:

    • Six Sigma Black/Green Belt or Lean certification
    • Background in Aerospace, heavy fabrication, or complex assembly preferred
    • Experience leading ERP transitions, implementing MES and digital work instruction systems
    • Knowledge of ISO 9001 or AS9100 a Huge Plus
    • Demonstrated track record of measurable operational improvements
    • Self-starter who takes ownership, stands behind data-driven decisions, and thrives in a hands-on environment
