  • Assist maintenance and production teams with equipment modifications and repairs.
  • Develop and implement process improvements to optimize quality, efficiency, and cycle times.
  • Partner with production supervisors and operators to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
  • Conduct time studies, capacity analysis, and cost reduction initiatives.
  • Support new product launches, tooling changes, and engineering trials.
  • Create and maintain work instructions, process documentation, and PM standards.
  • Ensure compliance with OSHA and facility safety policies.
  • Support quality system requirements (PFMEA, control plans, capability studies, etc.).
  • Work with engineering, production, maintenance, and quality teams to align on priorities.
  • Serve as a technical resource for operators and technicians.
  • Provide input on equipment purchases and capital projects.

Qualifications

  • Proficiency with CAD and Microsoft Office (SolidWorks).
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently on the floor.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
  • 3d printing experience is a plus
  • What We're Looking For

  • A natural problem solver who can balance engineering analysis with real-time shop-floor support
  • An engineer who is eager to get involved with process improvements, troubleshooting, and project work to help the plant run smoothly and grow.
  • ITW is an equal opportunity employer. We value our colleagues' unique perspectives, experiences and ideas and create workplaces where everyone can develop their careers and perform to their full potential.
