About the role

As a Senior Process Engineer, Mechanical Assembly (Night Shift), you will serve as the senior technical authority on the production floor during overnight hours, owning line performance, leading a team of technicians, and ensuring operational continuity in a high-complexity, automated manufacturing environment.

Serve as the senior technical authority on the floor during overnight hours, making autonomous decisions on escalations, downtime response, and operational continuity without day-shift support structures.
Mentor, and set daily priorities for a team of night shift technicians, stabilizing line cadence, building team capability, and driving accountability to production targets.
Track and analyze key performance indicators: specifically OEE, yield, and cycle times, to identify bottlenecks and implement data-driven improvements that carry forward to day-shift handoff.
Document and communicate overnight issues clearly to day-shift engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure seamless continuity and unblock recurring production constraints.
Initiate tactical CI projects on the floor to eliminate waste, improve operator ergonomics, and optimize machine reliability - including work that carries across shifts.
Act as the voice of the shop floor by identifying human factors/usability challenges specific to night shift operation and communicating actionable design feedback to the system engineering team.
Demonstrated capability to manage, prioritize tasks for, and develop a technical team - including in high-pressure situations with limited escalation support.
Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to influence cross-functional peers and present clear improvement ideas to design engineers.
To build America's energy future, we need everyone at the table.

A proactive, "get-it-done" attitude with the ability to thrive amid ambiguity and adapt quickly as we scale our technology.

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
4-7+ years of hands-on experience in a manufacturing, production, or fast-paced industrial operations environment
prior night shift or off-hours leadership experience strongly preferred.
Strong familiarity with manufacturing metrics (OEE, downtime tracking) and a practical approach to root-cause analysis.
A solid understanding of mechanical systems and automated equipment, allowing you to independently vet technical solutions and guide the implementation of floor-level fixes without waiting for day-shift backup.
