FuelCell Energy

Manager

• The Manufacturing Manager, Fuel Cell Module Assembly is a critical operational leadership role responsible for module production in a 24/7 manufacturing environment.
• This individual directly manages all Shift Supervisors across day, evening, and night shifts and is accountable for meeting production targets, controlling production costs, and maintaining rigorous quality standards throughout the final assembly process.
• The Manufacturing Manager serves as the primary operational bridge between shop floor execution and senior leadership, translating strategic production goals into daily shift-level action.
• Own the daily, weekly, and monthly production output plan for fuel cell module final assembly; ensure shift targets and schedule attainment goals are consistently met or exceeded.
• Monitor and manage throughput across all assembly stages; primarily focusing on module fabrication and stack integration.
• Develop and maintain production capacity models and staffing plans that account for preventative maintenance, shift transitions, and production ramps in a 24/7 operating model.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives in cycle time, line efficiency, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) using structured methodologies (Kaizen, VSM, 5S, PDCA).

• Present project progress, findings, and final recommendations to engineering and operations stakeholders at the end of the internship.
• Support engineers and technicians with process trials, observations, measurements, and shop-floor documentation related to assigned projects.
• Work cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Quality, and Technology Development as needed to gather input and move projects forward.
• Create or update work instructions, visual aids, standard work, or process documentation to support sustainable implementation of improvements.
• Participate in time studies, process mapping, and other continuous improvement activities that support project deliverables.
• Collect, organize, and interpret production or test data to support project decisions.
• Assist with root-cause investigations, corrective actions, and follow-up activities related to process or quality issues.
• Help document trial results, engineering changes, lessons learned, and recommendations for future process improvements.
• Gain exposure to manufacturing equipment, process documentation, engineering drawings, and production problem-solving methods.
• Learn and apply manufacturing engineering tools such as process flow mapping, standard work, basic statistical analysis, and lean methods.
• Build practical experience communicating technical information through reports, presentations, and visual documentation.
