Job Description

Build Your Engineering Career Where Your Ideas Actually Ship

At Restek, our Process Engineers don't just maintain processes, they improve them. As a Process Engineer I, you'll work alongside experienced engineers to solve real production challenges, bring new products to life, and see your improvements make a measurable difference in safety, quality, and productivity from day one.

This is a hands-on, growth-oriented role for an early-career engineer who wants mentorship without micromanagement, you'll be trusted with real ownership of projects while learning from senior engineers and managers who want to see you succeed.

As a 100% employee-owned company, every improvement you make is one you have a stake in. When Restek grows, you grow with it.

What You'll Do

• Keep production running safely and smoothly. Support safe processes, high-quality products, and on-time delivery — with guidance from a manager or senior engineer.
• Help launch what's next. Assist in evaluating and scaling up new and existing manufacturing technologies and processes, running experiments and collecting data that shapes real product decisions.
• Drive continuous improvement. Spot opportunities to improve process and productivity, then help develop, validate, and roll out the solutions.
• Own your documentation. Write clear experiment and procedure documentation, and put together experience reports on your design, results, and conclusions to share cross-functionally.
• Teach what you learn. Train manufacturing personnel on new procedures, equipment, materials, and testing standards as processes evolve.
• Keep growing. Stay current in your field through seminars, workshops, and continuing education — supported by the company.
• Champion safety. Follow EH&S guidelines and build a strong understanding of process safety and safe material handling in your area.

What You Bring

Typical requirements for this role include a bachelor’s degree in electrical or mechanical engineering or equivalent combination of education/experience. 

• Curiosity for troubleshooting electromechanical systems — electrical, mechanical, or software — alongside a senior engineer or manager
• Proficiency with relevant software: CAD (Solidworks preferred), EDA (Altium preferred), and programming environments/languages
• Knowledge of continuous improvement methods (Six Sigma, Lean)
• Familiarity with manufacturing techniques such as:
  • Machined components, CNC, 3D printing, mechanical assembly
  • Electronic component sourcing, SMT, test, and electronic assembly
  • Software/firmware environments and code deployment
• Exposure to electronic device compliance and certification (CE, CSA, JA, UL) is a plus
• Strong computer skills and excellent written and verbal communication

This position will require the successful completion of a standard background check in accordance with Restek policy. Employment with Restek will require successful completion of a pre-employment drug screen.
