**About This Opportunity**
At KnowHireMatch, we believe the best manufacturing happens when process meets purpose. This isn’t just another engineering role—it’s a chance to shape how things are made at a facility that values your ideas as much as your experience. You’ll work in Decorah, Iowa, where the pace is intentional, the team is tight-knit, and your fingerprints will be on every improvement. If you’re tired of being a cog and ready to be the engineer who makes the whole system run better, keep reading.

**What You’ll Do**
You’ll own the production floor—not in a micromanaging way, but as the person who makes sure every process is stable, safe, and scalable. Your day-to-day will include:

- Monitoring process performance in real time, jumping on issues before they become problems, and keeping production humming.
- Writing and updating work instructions, process flows, and standard work—so everyone knows exactly how to do their best work.
- Diving into data (scrap rates, cycle times, downtime) to find hidden opportunities for improvement.
- Leading root cause analysis when something goes sideways, then implementing fixes that stick.
- Championing kaizen events and continuous improvement projects using Lean, Six Sigma, and whatever smart methodology fits the moment.
- Reducing waste, cutting scrap, and trimming labor inefficiencies—all while keeping quality front and center.
- Supporting new product introductions by setting up trials, documenting processes, and training operators.
- Owning capital projects from start to finish: selecting equipment, building ROI cases, managing installation, and commissioning new systems.
- Collaborating with Maintenance, Quality, Operations, and Supply Chain to ensure every new piece of equipment integrates seamlessly.

**What You Bring**
You’re the kind of engineer who sees the whole picture—not just the machine, but the people, the data, and the business goals behind it. You bring:

- A degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering (or equivalent experience).
- Hands-on experience with process improvement tools: Lean, Six Sigma, root cause analysis, and process validation.
- A knack for turning messy production data into clear, actionable insights.
- The ability to write technical documentation that operators actually use and understand.
- Comfort leading cross-functional teams and influencing without authority.
- A track record of managing capital projects—from concept to commissioning.
- A bias for action: you don’t just identify problems, you solve them.

**Why This Role?**
You’ll earn **$75,000–$95,000 per year**, plus bonus potential. You’ll work in a facility where your ideas get heard and your improvements get implemented. And you’ll be part of a company that values process excellence—not just as a buzzword, but as a daily practice.
