The Opportunity The Process Engineer Co-op will work closely with production supervisors, operators, and support teams to improve daily manufacturing performance. The co-op will begin with direct shop-floor experience to understand the product, equipment, process flow, production targets, and challenges faced by team members. With coaching from engineering and operations leaders, the co-op will help solve problems and lead appropriately scoped improvement projects. What You Will Do Spend time on the production floor learning how products, machines, tooling, materials, staffing, and information flow through the process. Work with operators, technicians, and supervisors to understand daily pain points and recognize the eight wastes of Lean manufacturing. Support production supervisors in tracking and achieving daily safety, quality, delivery, and productivity targets. Help investigate missed targets, bottlenecks, recurring disruptions, quality issues, and ergonomic concerns. Collect and analyze production data, complete process observations, and establish clear performance baselines. Use structured problem-solving methods to identify root causes and recommend practical countermeasures. Improve standard work, visual controls, workplace organization, material flow, and other process documentation. Coordinate with production, maintenance, quality, materials, and engineering when improvements require cross-functional support. Take ownership of appropriately scoped improvement projects and communicate progress, results, risks, and roadblocks. What You Will Learn How production teams manage safety, quality, delivery, labor, and throughput each day. How to use Lean tools such as waste observation, process mapping, 5S, standard work, visual management, and time studies. How to apply data and root-cause analysis to real manufacturing problems. How to implement changes with operators and supervisors so improvements are practical and sustainable. How engineering, operations, quality, maintenance, and materials work together in a manufacturing environment.
