Industrial Engineer

Current Lighting is a leading manufacturer of innovative, energy-efficient lighting solutions for commercial, industrial, institutional, outdoor, and specialty applications. At our Plympton, Massachusetts facility, we manufacture high-quality lighting fixtures and related products that require precision assembly, strong engineering collaboration, and disciplined production processes. The Process Engineer supports the manufacture of engineered lighting products by developing and maintaining production methods, routings, bills of materials, work instructions, tooling, and manufacturing documentation. This role partners closely with Product Engineering, Manufacturing, Maintenance, Tool Room, production supervisors, and hourly operations personnel to improve product flow, quality, safety, cost, and manufacturability. Key Responsibilities Create, review, and maintain manufacturing routers and bills of materials (BOMs) for engineer-to-order and configured product orders. Develop and implement process engineering changes, including: Updating routers and operation sequences. Adding or revising material sequencing by operation. Loading and maintaining control-cycle records. Establishing and updating work centers, labor standards, and production system data. Coordinating implementation with Product Engineering and Operations. Partner daily with production personnel and supervisors to define, document, and improve assembly instructions, work methods, and standardized processes. Troubleshoot manufacturing, assembly, material, tooling, and workflow issues; provide timely support to supervisors, set-up personnel, and production teams. Maintain BOMs, routers, and work orders when material substitutions, variances, engineering changes, or process updates occur. Create and maintain manufacturing documentation, including assembly instructions, process layouts, work instructions, visual aids, maintenance work orders, and Tool Room orders. Design and develop assembly jigs, fixtures, templates, and related production tooling, including layouts and technical drawings. Use AutoCAD and Solid Edge to produce and revise digital engineering drawings, tooling designs, fixture layouts, and manufacturing documentation. Collaborate with Product Engineering on prototype light fixtures, pilot builds, design-for-manufacturability considerations, and transition-to-production activities. Support new-product introduction by validating routings, BOMs, work instructions, fixtures, tooling, material flow, and labor requirements prior to production launch. Participate in Lean Manufacturing initiatives focused on safety, quality, delivery, productivity, waste reduction, and continuous improvement. Analyze manufacturing processes and recommend improvements to labor content, cycle time, capacity, cost, ergonomics, quality, and material flow. Assist with development of capital-equipment justifications, including process requirements, cost-benefit analyses, capacity…
