ITT is a leading manufacturer of critical components for harsh environments that serves fast-growing end markets in flow, aerospace and defense, energy and transportation. Building on our heritage of innovation, we partner with our customers to deliver solutions to the key industries that underpin our modern way of life.Headquartered in Stamford, CT, we have more than 11,700 employees globally with operations in ~40 countries and sales in more than 125. At our core is our engineering DNA, with 1,280+ engineers, 1,700+ active global patents and ~51 manufacturing locations.

Our businesses are organized in three distinct segments, each based around our core engineering DNA: 

Develop and maintain control over standards for production operations, follow up with compliance of production processes, suggest changes in current process to achieve higher efficiency levels and determine requirements through demand.

• →Solve process and quality opportunities proactively to avoid impacts in the value stream and general production activities.
• →Generate and manage the bill of materials BOM’s.
• →Develop work routers/travelers.
• →Development of standardized work in manufacturing.
• →Generate action plans, guides and work methods for the assigned area and keep them updated. (i.e. Work instructions, visual aids, documents associated with engineering process)
• →Review and update the data base where production standards are located, making sure this are correctly implemented.
• →Lead engineering changes in the process.
• →Implement and manage Lay Out changes in the manufacturing process.
• →Lead, actively participate and manage product transfers as well as product/process implementation.
