Continuous Improvement Engineer - Manufacturing

Qualification : B.Tech / Diploma – Mechanical

Experience : 6–8 Years

Location : Ras Al Khaimah, UAE

We’re looking for experienced Process & Manufacturing Engineers to join our team and lead continuous improvement initiatives across our production operations.

Key responsibilities :

• Process Analysis & Optimization : Map, evaluate, and redesign manufacturing processes to improve flow, reduce bottlenecks, and enhance overall efficiency using tools like Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and Process Flow Diagrams (PFD)
• Implementation of Lean & Six Sigma : Apply systematic improvement tools such as Kaizen events, Poke Yoke (error-proofing), and Six Sigma methodologies to eliminate waste, reduce process variation, and achieve measurable gains in productivity and quality.
• Quality Improvement : Perform root cause analysis on quality defects using techniques like PFMEA (Process Failure Mode & Effect Analysis) and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence and maintain compliance with industry standards.
• Layout Preparation : Design and optimize factory layouts to facilitate smooth material flow, ergonomic workspaces, and efficient utilization of resources, incorporating principles of ergonomics to minimize worker fatigue and injury risks
• Cycle Time Study : Conduct detailed time studies for each operation to identify delays, balance workloads, and optimize cycle times for maximum productivity.
• Resource Declaration for Production Planning (Man & Machine) : Define and declare resource requirements, including manpower, machines, and materials, to support production ramp-up and ensure seamless scaling of operations.
• PFMEA (Process Failure Mode & Effect Analysis) : Lead systematic risk analyses to identify potential process failures proactively and develop mitigation strategies to enhance reliability and safety.
• PFD (Process Flow Diagram) : Create and maintain visual representations of complete process flows to aid in team understanding, training, and systematic improvements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including production, quality assurance, and supply chain, to integrate engineering solutions into daily operations.
• Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as yield rates, downtime, and throughput to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Support new product introductions (NPI) by developing robust manufacturing processes and ensuring manufacturability from design stages
• Ensure adherence to safety regulations, environmental standards, and company policies in all engineering activities
