Equipment Selection and Implementation: Lead selection and procurement efforts for equipment required to meet product manufacturing capability and throughput requirements. Design and integrate machine fixturing and workholding solutions to enable efficient equipment operation.
Vendor & OEM Interface: Act as the primary technical point of contact for external equipment manufacturers, managing delivery timelines, technical installation requirements, and troubleshooting major hardware anomalies.
Hardware Stability & Optimization: Define, monitor, and improve equipment-level performance metrics, driving initiatives to maximize Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Uptime while minimizing MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) and MTTR (Mean Time To Repair).
Documentation & Training: Author standard operating procedures (SOPs), equipment preventative maintenance schedules, and clear facility integration logs to ensure seamless handoffs to the production operations and maintenance teams. Train production staff to operate equipment safely and effectively.
Cross-Functional Execution: Collaborate closely with Facilities, EHS, Quality, and Process Engineering teams to ensure new equipment modules safely integrate into factory floor layouts and enterprise data/SCADA networks.

Documented experience executing formal equipment qualification protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ) and mechanical troubleshooting frameworks.
Hands-on familiarity with at least two major industrial equipment categories (e.g., CNC/EDM machining, vacuum/fluid/pneumatic systems, high-temperature thermal systems, robotic automation, or industrial chemical/clean processing).
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or Robotics Engineering, or a related technical field.
Strong project management and communication skills, with the ability to manage vendor relationships and clearly report machine readiness metrics to leadership.
