This role focuses on process discipline, standardization, and control, using statistical process control (SPC) and data analysis as tools to monitor performance, detect variation, and drive corrective action. This position is embedded directly on the SMT production floor and requires a continuous on‑floor presence. The Manufacturing Process Control Engineer works alongside operators, technicians, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Production teams on the line to establish clear process expectations, maintain control plans and reaction plans, and ensure processes are followed, understood, and capable over time. This is a hands‑on, floor‑based role, not a desk‑based or remote engineering position.Essential Duties and ResponsibilitiesThe essential functions of this position include, but are not limited to, the following:Manufacturing Process OwnershipOwn and sustain defined manufacturing processes to ensure consistent execution across shifts and product linesEstablish, document, and maintain standard work, process flows, and operating parametersEnsure processes are clearly defined, understood, and followed by production teamsRegularly observe process execution on the production floor and address gaps in adherence or understandingMaintain a consistent presence on the SMT production line to observe real‑time process execution, support operators, and immediately address process variation or non‑conformanceProcess Control & StabilityDevelop and maintain process control plans and reaction plans for critical manufacturing processesDefine key process parameters (KPPs) and critical‑to‑quality (CTQ) characteristicsUse SPC and other monitoring methods to confirm process stability and capabilityLead response and corrective action when processes deviate from defined expectationsSPC & Data-Driven EnforcementImplement and sustain SPC methodologies to support process control and early detection of variationSelect appropriate control chart types and sampling approachesAnalyze SPC data to identify trends, special cause variation, and opportunities for improvementEnsure SPC results drive timely action, not just reportingContinuous Improvement & Problem SolvingLead and support root cause analysis related to process variation, defects, and escapesDrive process improvements focused on variation reduction, yield improvement, and defect preventionSupport process validation, qualification, and change implementationValidate improvements through defined process metrics and data analysisCross‑Functional & Floor EngagementOperate primarily from the SMT production floor, partnering directly with operators, technicians, and supervisors rather than working from a traditional engineering office environmentProvide hands‑on coaching and training to operators and technicians on process discipline and controlSupport NPI, process transfers, and production ramp‑ups by establishing stable, repeatable processesCommunicate process risks, gaps, and improvement opportunities clearly to stakeholdersQuality & Compliance SupportEnsure manufacturing processes and controls align with ISO, AS, IPC, and customer requirementsSupport audits, CAPA activities, and customer issues related to process performanceMaintain accurate and controlled process documentationQualificationsBachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, or a related technical field required4‑6 years of experience in SPC, process control, quality engineering, or manufacturing engineeringExperience in a manufacturing environment requiredPreferred QualificationsExperience in electronics manufacturing or regulated manufacturing environments preferredKnowledge, Skills, and AbilitiesAdvanced knowledge of statistical process control and process capability analysisExperience with SPC methodologies, control charts, and reaction planningProficiency with statistical analysis tools (e.g., Minitab, Excel)Working knowledge of PFMEA, control plans, and process validationAbility to read and interpret engineering drawings and manufacturing documentationStrong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skillsAbility to work independently and influence cross‑functional teamsPhysical DemandsRegular standing, walking, and sitting in a manufacturing environmentFrequent use of computer and analytical toolsWork EnvironmentManufacturing and SMT production floor environmentPrimary work location is on the production floor and SMT line, not in an engineering office areaModerate noise levels typical of a production environmentDaily, continuous on‑site presence required to support operations and real‑time process controlMilwaukee Electronics Is an Equal Opportunity EmployerEqual Opportunity EmployerAll qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, protected veteran status, disability, or age.
