Mechanical Engineer II/ Process Engineer 6 Months (Potential of extension and conversion) Wilmington MA 01887
OVERVIEW We are landing a set of automated and semi-automated production lines, built with automation integrators, into our facility. We are hiring a Process Engineer to take these lines from installed to dialed-in — running process development on the line, validating output against spec, and driving yield, quality, and throughput as they ramp. You own what the lines produce. WHAT YOU'LL DO
Dial in the lines: Run process development on each line — tune parameters, run build trials, and bring output to spec.
Validate & qualify: Build and run test/validation plans; establish process capability (Cpk) and close gaps against requirements.
Hold the process: Stand up SPC and monitoring; keep each process in control and catch drift before it reaches the product.
Own risk & control: Develop and maintain PFMEAs and control plans; prioritize improvements by risk.
Make it better: Drive yield, quality, and cycle-time improvements using DOE, root-cause analysis, and Lean/Six Sigma.
Document it: Own work instructions and process documentation so each line runs consistently.
REQUIRED
B.S. in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial, Chemical, or related engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
8+ years in process or manufacturing engineering in a production environment.
Proven process development and dial-in — taking a line from first builds to qualified, in-spec production.
Process development experience on automated or semi-automated lines — comfortable developing a process around automated equipment, not just manual stations.
Strong command of DOE, SPC, Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), and process-capability analysis.
Hands-on with PFMEA and control plans, and structured problem-solving (DMAIC, 5-Why, Fishbone, 8D).
Proven yield, quality, and cycle-time improvement on live production.
Able to operate independently on-site.
PREFERRED
Lean / Six Sigma Black Belt.
Advanced DOE and statistical-analysis depth (JMP / Minitab) — able to design and interpret complex experiments, not just run standard tools.
