Do you thrive on dialing in automated equipment for perfect parts?

Help us stand up a new manufacturing cell and scale an innovative product from pilot to full-rate production. If you enjoy interpreting inspection data, tweaking parameters, and collaborating with engineers to lock in robust processes, this role is built for you.

Why this role?

  • You’ll own set-up through run for automated laminating and die-cut systems
  • You’ll apply SPC to keep the process stable and predictable
  • You’ll be a key voice as we launch new equipment and continuously improve

What will you tackle each shift?

  • Prepare, start up, and operate automated lamination and rotary die-cut machinery
  • Adjust controls and process conditions to protect quality and throughput
  • Use custom machine software plus automated inspection/vision (e.g., Keyence) to validate every move
  • Read dimensional and CMM results, then make the right corrective tweaks
  • Verify parts using visual checks, calipers, CMM, and automated inspection tools
  • Apply basic SPC to monitor trends and act before variation impacts yield
  • Handle light troubleshooting and preventive maintenance
  • Complete production and quality documentation accurately
  • Partner with engineering and operations on process improvements and launch activities

Must-have qualifications

  • Experience operating automated manufacturing equipment
  • Familiarity with machine HMIs and automated control systems
  • Proficiency with precision hand metrology (e.g., calipers)
  • Foundational SPC knowledge
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting mindset
  • Ability to stand for long periods and lift materials as needed

Nice-to-have

  • Lamination, film processing, or rotary die-cutting background
  • Automated inspection/vision system exposure (Keyence or similar)
  • CMM experience and comfort interpreting dimensional datasets
  • Experience helping launch new processes or equipment

Related proficiencies

  • Die attach/bonding
  • Statistical process control (SPC)
  • Metal stamping & forming (progressive die)
  • Production run machine setups
  • Manual machining skills

Equipment you may interface with

  • Punch press
  • Extrusion machine
  • Die cast machines (cold chamber and hot chamber)
  • Calipers and micrometers
  • Cylindrical grinder
