What You’ll Do 

As a Process Engineer, New Product Introduction, you will work on an interdisciplinary team to bring products from the lab into mass production. Your primary objective is to rapidly iterate and advance the product to ensure it is manufacturable, cost-effective, meets quality standards, and meets all requirements before launch to market.  

Who You Are 

You have strong communication skills, flexibility, and a willingness to “wear many hats,” all of which will be essential for any successful applicant.  You will work with complex machines at different levels of development, solving tough engineering challenges along the way. Projects will consist of a combination of hands-on work and data analysis/presentation.  You will take full ownership of your work, drive forward independently, and maintain a strong sense of urgency. You know when to pivot, prioritize, and adapt to shifting demands to keep progress on track. 

This role requires cross-functional collaboration, critical thinking for root cause analysis, and an ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment. This position generally requires a commitment of 5 days onsite per week.
