What you’ll do

• Continuously monitor and improve manufacturing processes with a focus on corrosion resistance, coating thickness control, and adhesion performance.
• Analyze process data to uncover inefficiencies, reduce scrap and rework, and drive measurable cost reductions.
• Lead and participate in structured root cause analyses to resolve product quality issues.
• Support and help resolve internal and customer claims, ensuring timely, evidence-based outcomes.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering.
• Professional, hands-on experience designing, developing, and optimizing manufacturing processes (industry background flexible).
