Process Improvement Engineer

Apollo Technical has an immediate need for a Process Improvement Engineer / Manufacturing in the Marietta GA area

This is a long term opportunity

Hands-on role on the manufacturing floor—not a desk job.
Drive operational excellence across 70+ machines in a 24/7 plant by combining Lean leadership with direct mechanical work.

What you’ll do

• Lead shop-floor continuous improvement to raise safety, quality, and productivity
• Find waste, bottlenecks, and losses by observing and working on processes and equipment
• Apply Lean tools (5S, Kaizen, standard work, RCA) in a practical, execution-first way
• Improve OEE, uptime, cycle time, scrap, and rework
• Run Kaizen events with operators and maintenance; implement and sustain standard work and visual controls
• Troubleshoot mechanical issues alongside maintenance; support repairs, rebuilds, startups, and changeovers
• Lead RCA on chronic equipment losses and put permanent fixes in place
• Design or modify components, tooling, fixtures, and guarding
• Partner with maintenance on reliability and PM/PdM effectiveness
• Optimize material flow, line balance, and operator work; document usable standards and work instructions

What you bring

• Bachelor’s in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering (or equivalent hands-on experience)
• 2–6 years in manufacturing with strong mechanical involvement
• Proven troubleshooting on industrial equipment and successful Lean/CI implementations
• Comfort in 24/7 or high-volume production
• Knowledge of mechanical systems and equipment reliability
• Coil winding experience preferred; shop tools (mills, lathes, grinders) and CAD (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor) a plus
• Self-directed and results-focused; majority of time spent on the floor
