Responsibilities:
Manufacturing Process Development
Design, implement, and optimize manufacturing and assembly processes for electrohydraulic actuators and related subassemblies
Develop processes, routings, work instructions, and bills of materials for low- to medium-volume industrial production
Define tooling, fixturing, hydraulic test setups, and assembly aids to improve consistency and safety
New Product Introduction (NPI)
Support NPI activities by translating engineering designs into robust, repeatable manufacturing processes
Collaborate with Design Engineering on DFM/DFA for actuator subassemblies, hydraulic components, manifolds, seals, and control systems
Lead pilot builds and production readiness reviews
Continuous Improvement & Troubleshooting
Identify and execute improvements to reduce cycle time, rework, scrap, and warranty risk
Troubleshoot production issues related to hydraulic performance, electrical controls, sealing, and mechanical fit-up
Apply Lean manufacturing, root cause analysis, and corrective/preventive actions
Quality & Compliance
Ensure manufacturing processes meet customer, industry, and regulatory requirements (oil & gas, power, water, mining, etc.)
Support quality initiatives including process capability studies, PFMEA, control plans, and inspection strategies
Collaborate with Quality Engineering on nonconformance resolution and continuous improvement
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Work closely with Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, and Field Service teams
Support supplier qualification and sourcing of machined components, hydraulic parts, and electrical components
Provide technical guidance and training to production and test personnel

Required Qualifications:
