Molded Fiber Process Development Engineer

Shape how molded fiber gets made—day by day

From the first bell to shift handoff, you are the go-to problem solver advancing how our molded fiber products are produced. You’ll lead associates who support quality and process monitoring, translate production data into smarter runs, and turn small tweaks into big wins for throughput, quality, and cost.

What your day looks like

• Partner with management, technicians, and operators to drive process improvements—shorter cycle times, optimized production, higher throughput, better quality, and lower scrap—while troubleshooting issues as they arise.
• Create and maintain precise engineering documentation, including molding specifications, process flow diagrams, and PFMEAs.
• Set up and lock in processing parameters based on material characteristics and machine capabilities.
• Author molding procedures that keep processing consistent across all shifts.
• Review daily production efficiencies with the Production Manager to sustain stable, repeatable performance.
• Plan and run design of experiments (DOE) and conduct capability studies to validate improvements.
• Spot and deliver continuous improvement opportunities that raise efficiency, reduce defects, and capture cost savings.
• Contribute to capital equipment justification through clear documentation and data.
• Oversee lab and process technicians, test results, procedures, and the overall quality program.
• Coordinate timely responses to internal and external quality concerns.
• Manage and coordinate the NSF audit and GMP standards for the plant.
• Immediately report and address safety issues or hazards; uphold an excellent safety record.
• Maintain excellent attendance and dependability.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

What you bring

• Required: PLC programming experience.
• Leadership mindset to guide associates supporting quality and process monitoring.
