Operations Analytics & Continuous Improvement Engineer — Greenville, NC

Join us to help transform complex manufacturing work into clear, efficient, and repeatable systems. Your mission: connect people, process, and data to lift throughput, quality, and consistency across our operation.

Picture This

A line falls behind target. Within minutes, you’ve pulled the right data from MES, walked the cell to observe motion, and pinpointed extra handling causing delays. By the next day, you’ve tested a revised method, updated the routing, adjusted the standard, and posted a concise report with the impact. That’s the cadence you’ll drive here.
