Title:  Process Engineer

Join us as a Process Engineer at our Toluca, Mexico Plant, where you will play a critical role in enabling safe, high‑quality, and efficient food manufacturing operations. This is an on‑site role, partnering closely with Operations, Quality, Maintenance, and Engineering to ensure stable, capable, and well‑controlled processes across production and packaging lines.

You will be part of a collaborative manufacturing team focused on process stability, loss elimination, and continuous improvement, with strong engagement on the plant floor. This role offers the opportunity to lead impactful technical initiatives, support new product introductions, and strengthen operational standards using Kellanova Work Systems (KWS). If you are driven to understand how and why processes perform the way they do—and enjoy turning data and observations into sustainable improvements—this is a role where you can grow and make a difference.

A Taste of What You’ll Be Doing

• Process Control & Technical Ownership – Own the technical performance of assigned process and packaging lines by defining, controlling, and optimizing critical parameters, recipes, and operating conditions to reduce variability and ensure repeatable results.
• Floor Support & Operational Partnership – Work side‑by‑side with Operations on the plant floor to stabilize processes, troubleshoot technical issues, support startups and changes, and act as the first level of technical escalation during deviations.
• Continuous Improvement & Loss Elimination – Identify, prioritize, and execute improvement initiatives to reduce waste, losses, and downtime using KWS, Lean, and data‑driven analysis, delivering measurable operational impact.
• Standards, KPIs & Change Management – Establish and maintain technical and operational standards, track performance through KPIs, and lead Management of Change (MOC) to ensure safe, controlled, and well‑communicated process updates.
• Capability Building & Food Safety – Build technical capability within operational teams through coaching and training while ensuring compliance with GMPs, food safety, quality, and safety requirements. 

We’re Looking for Someone With 

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Industrial, Chemical, Food Engineering, or related field)
• Experience in food or consumer goods manufacturing environments supporting production or packaging operations
• Strong knowledge of process control, variability reduction, and standardization
• Experience applying continuous improvement methodologies (KWS, Lean, Six Sigma)
• Working knowledge of GMPs, food safety, quality, and safety standards
• Ability to work cross‑functionally and provide hands‑on technical support on the plant floor
