Process Engineer

Smarter Alloys is a world leader in smart materials innovation, pioneering advanced shape memory materials for applications in medical devices, cleantech, automotive, and beyond. We are looking for a Process Engineer to help scale and optimize our wire production processes as we continue our rapid growth. As a Process Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in scaling up production and improving operational efficiency for our wire and finished goods manufacturing lines. Working cross-functionally with production, quality, R&D, and operations teams, you’ll help drive process improvements, reduce variability, and ensure high-quality output in a fast-paced, high-tech environment. Key Responsibilities Production Optimization & Process Engineering Analyze and improve wire production processes including drawing, annealing, etching, shaping, and finishing Identify bottlenecks, implement lean improvements, and reduce waste across manufacturing operations Support the scale-up of production from pilot to full-scale Maintain and update process documentation as part of QMS requirements Quality & Technical Problem Solving Collaborate with the Quality team to improve process capability and resolve root causes of defects Develop and monitor in-process quality control metrics and support SPC initiatives Lead DOE and other data-driven investigations into process performance Cross-functional Collaboration & Continuous Improvement Work closely with R&D, operations, and procurement teams to support the development and transfer of new products into production Recommend and implement upgrades to equipment or processes to improve safety, throughput, or yield Contribute to internal audits, corrective actions, and quality improvement programs Required Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Materials, Mechanical, Chemical, or Industrial Engineering (or similar field) 2–5 years of experience in a process, manufacturing, or production engineering role (recent grads will not be considered) Familiarity with QMS systems (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 13485) and statistical tools (e.g., Minitab, SPC) Knowledge of lean manufacturing, process validation, and root cause analysis techniques Self-motivated and able to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced production environment Preferred Qualifications Hands-on experience with wire processing technologies (e.g., drawing, annealing, etching, shaping) is an asset Working with Smarter Alloys Smarter Alloys is at the forefront of the smart materials revolution. With applications ranging from wearable technology to medical devices, our technology can be found across a wide range of industries, including medical/dental, automotive, energy harvesting, consumer electronics and sporting goods. We are a small, innovative and fast-moving company that is on the cutting edge of the smart materials industry. We have aggressive growth goals and are looking for someone who is willing to put in the work to help us get there. If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you! We strive to build a team that reflects the diversity of the community we work in and encourage applications from traditionally underrepresented groups such as women, visible minorities, Indigenous peoples, people identifying as LGBTQ2SI, veterans, and people with disabilities.

The Process Engineer will optimize wire production processes and scale operations from pilot to full-scale production. They will collaborate cross-functionally to reduce variability, resolve defects, and implement equipment upgrades to improve yield and safety.

Candidates must have a bachelor's degree in an engineering field and 2-5 years of experience in process or manufacturing engineering. Proficiency in QMS systems, statistical tools like Minitab, and lean manufacturing techniques is required.
