Responsibilities

The Manufacturing Systems Improvement Engineer owns the development and execution of engineered improvements to plant equipment, material flow, operating processes, and supporting facility systems.
This position works from concept through implementation: observing operations in the field; defining requirements; developing designs and business cases; coordinating fabrication, vendors, contractors, and internal teams; supporting installation and commissioning; and measuring sustained performance after deployment.
Success in this role is measured by demonstrable, site-level improvements in equipment reliability, safety, capacity, labor efficiency, operating consistency, and reduction of recurring maintenance or process issues.
Spend more than 50% of working time in operating facilities, observing processes, engaging with operators and maintenance personnel, assessing equipment condition, identifying and implementing improvement opportunities.
Identify and prioritize opportunities to improve equipment reliability, safety, throughput, ergonomics, maintainability, material flow, labor efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Develop practical equipment redesigns, retrofits, fixtures, guarding, material-handling improvements, automation concepts, and equipment additions to address recurring operational challenges.
Lead engineering work from concept through field implementation, including site assessments, requirements development, preliminary design, detailed design, cost estimates, vendor coordination, installation support, commissioning, and post-implementation verification.
Analyze production constraints, operating practices, and process data to identify root causes and develop permanent corrective actions.
Partner closely with operations, maintenance, and safety teams to ensure proposed solutions are safe, practical to operate, maintainable, and aligned with site needs.
Support improvements to autoclaves, boilers, shredders, conveyors, compactors, utility systems, controls, and other medical waste treatment equipment.
Develop scopes of work, technical specifications, equipment-selection criteria, drawings, and supporting documentation for internally executed work and outside vendors or contractors.
Coordinate and oversee vendors, fabricators, contractors, and equipment suppliers during design, installation, startup, and troubleshooting activities.
