  • Identify opportunities for error-proofing and recommend improvements that make operator tasks easier and less prone to error.
  • Contribute to automation and digitization initiatives that advance manufacturing capabilities.
  • Recommend solutions that improve safety, working conditions, efficiency, and product quality.
  • Provide technical guidance and support to production employees as appropriate.
  • Collaborate with team members across the organization to support operational and business priorities.

Required Skills:

  • BS or MS in Mechanical, Chemical, or Industrial Engineering or related discipline.
  • Good understanding of the products, material science and equipment involved in manufacturing.
  • Must be able to work in a team environment.
  • Ability to work in and support a cGMP environment.
  • Knowledge in cosmetics and skin care products preferred.
  • 2-4 years of relevant experience preferred.
  • Experience with industrial automation controls is a plus.
  • Experience with CAD/3D modeling software a plus.
  • Fabrication skills or mechanical aptitude a plus.
  • Work requires the application of a variety of procedures, policies, and/or precedents used in combination. Frequently, the application of multiple technical activities is employed; analytic ability and inductive thinking are required.
  • Must be able to understand and creatively solve processing / production problems.
  • Must be able to support and implement new ways to approach problems.

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

  • Enjoy being hands-on and connected to the manufacturing floor.
  • Approach problems with curiosity and a solutions-focused mindset.
