Technical Process Manager

Lead multiple technical projects involving polymer-based products and manufacturing processes from initiation through completion. Apply critical evaluation to material–process interactions, challenging assumptions and distinguishing signal from noise to identify true performance levers. Develop project plans, monitor progress, and proactively manage risks and dependencies. Apply structured problem-solving methodologies (Six Sigma, DMAIC, root cause analysis) to resolve technical issues; go beyond surface symptoms to identify systemic causes. Design, plan, and oversee production trials; critically assess data quality and integrity before translating findings into recommendations. Drive process control, standardization, and continuous improvement initiatives. Ensure technical requirements align with customer, regulatory, and business objectives. Coordinate prototype development, testing, validation, and launch activities. Collaborate across R&D, manufacturing, quality, maintenance, and supply chain to implement technical solutions. Provide rigorous technical review of assumptions, proposed changes, and data interpretations—pushing back where the evidence does not support the conclusion.
