DuPont Bayport site currently has an exciting opportunity for a Continuous Improvement Engineer.

The Bayport site in Pasadena, Tx is a manufacturing location for the production of Kapton® polyimide films. The facility maintains the assets and capability to manufacture a diverse portfolio of different types of specialized polyimide film. These products are within the Interconnect Solutions business unit within the Electronics and Industrial Platform. They feed a very broad array of materials in the electronics, automotive, and aerospace industries.

This position will provide continuous improvement support to process improvements overall at the plant but also develop subject matter expertise on a specific area of the process. This facility is small which gives the opportunity to have a diverse array of work. In addition to focusing on improving existing processes, this roll plays a key part in commercialization of new film types to serve high-growth, fast-paced markets. This role is predominantly process focused.

Your Key Responsibilities:

• Lead improvement projects to increase process capacity and reliability, improve product quality, increase yields, implement technical programs, etc. These projects would typically result in step change improvements (vs. day-to-day operations) within the scope of responsibility of the technical team and drive effective operation of the facility.

• Lead and/or assist with complex troubleshooting, maintenance, root cause analysis and problem solving for production and quality as well as potentially backfill the production engineer if needed.
