• Coordinate with manufacturing engineers to ensure mixing subsystems are properly scoped and trending for on time and under budget delivery into production
• Coordinate equipment deliveries and be involved with on-site inspections
• Develop new standards and processes to simplify future factory mixing systems design and build
• Contribute to design reviews of multi-million dollar mixing subsystems and ensure that feedback is properly incorporated into the design
• Engage with the cross-functional cell manufacturing team to align interfaces between mixing and the wider organization (factory design, supply chain, material flow, etc.)

• Degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 2+ years of industry experience in process development, manufacturing engineering, interdisciplinary/integrated engineering, or similar
• Experience introducing new equipment and new processes into a production environment
