Job Details

Vector's client in Euclid, Ohio is looking to hire a Process Engineer - Flat Rolled Products to develop, oversee, and improve the manufacturing processes used to produce flat-rolled molybdenum, tungsten, and toll-processed products.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you'll work directly with Manufacturing and Quality to solve production problems, improve process capability and material yield, develop new products and processes, and ensure our manufacturing methods consistently meet demanding customer requirements.

If you're an engineer who likes being close to manufacturing and seeing the results of your work on the production floor, this is an opportunity to make a measurable impact.

Responsibilities:

As a Process Engineer, you'll take responsibility for developing, documenting, controlling, and improving manufacturing processes associated with thin-gauge refractory metal sheet and foil. You'll:

• Develop, document, and oversee manufacturing processes for flat-rolled molybdenum, tungsten, and toll-processing products
• Develop and maintain OPCs, BOMs, routings, and detailed manufacturing instructions
• Make sure documented processes accurately reflect actual production practices
• Partner with Manufacturing and Quality to ensure quality, safety, and workmanship standards are met or exceeded
• Analyze manufacturing processes to identify opportunities to improve capability, consistency, and material yield
• Develop and implement new manufacturing processes and methods
• Evaluate and introduce new equipment and tooling
• Support the development and introduction of new products
• Work directly with employees on the manufacturing floor to troubleshoot and resolve process problems
• Provide technical support to customers to define product and process requirements
• Help troubleshoot existing customer materials and applications
• Partner with Quality Control and Quality Assurance to investigate nonconforming material
• Support the resolution of customer complaints
• Develop and implement corrective and preventive actions
• Perform FMEA and other analyses in support of quality and process-improvement initiatives
• Ensure manufacturing processes support both customer requirements and appropriate product costing

This role requires an engineering foundation combined with relevant manufacturing experience. You could be a strong fit if you have:

• A Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline
• 3-5 years of experience in metal forming processes preferred
• Experience developing, documenting, or improving manufacturing processes
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office
• Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills
• The ability to communicate technical information clearly, both verbally and in writing
• The ability to work independently while collaborating closely with Manufacturing and Quality
• A willingness to spend time on the manufacturing floor understanding processes and solving problems at the source
• A results-oriented approach and the initiative to move improvements forward

Experience in any of these areas are a plus:

• Flat rolling
• Refractory metals
• Molybdenum or tungsten processing
• Thin-gauge sheet or foil manufacturing
• Hot working of metals
• Statistical Process Control (SPC)
• Lean Manufacturing
• Six Sigma
• FMEA
• Corrective and preventive action
• Process capability analysis
• Material yield improvement
• New equipment or tooling implementation
• New product introduction

Experience with SPC, Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and hot working of metal products is preferred rather than required.
