Role Description 

Process Engineer 

Role Summary 

The Process Engineer (PE) keeps the facility running smoothly by developing and driving the implementation of the design of our manufacturing facility’s processes. Reporting to the Vice President, Print Card Operations, the PE will work closely with Production Managers and the facility leadership team to determine existing processes, identifying an appropriate optimization strategy, and subsequently collaborating with leadership to implement adjustments accordingly. The PE is also responsible for performing risk assessments to proactively identify potential issues and drive Continuous Improvement efforts.

Process Engineers work closely with the Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) team to review safety and quality standards, ensuring the facility properly meets these guidelines. They’ll use these guidelines to design and test their own process upgrades and new systems to see if they meet quality standards and regulations. The Process Engineer handles modeling and promoting the company culture and our values.
