Process Engineer
Eatonton, GA
Full Time
Mid Level
Cosmo Cabinets is a family-owned manufacturer of frameless and framed kitchen and bath cabinets based in Eatonton, GA. We run 350,000 sq ft of production space, build 1,000 cabinets a day, and ship nationally to the multi-family, single-family, student housing, affordable housing, build-to-rent, and senior living markets. Every box is built in the USA.
We operate two full production lines — frameless and framed — We’re looking for a Process Engineer who can drive improvement across both.
You will own the methods, cycle times, layouts, and tooling behind how we build cabinets — across both our frameless and framed production lines. You’ll spend most of your time on the floor — at the CNC cells, edge banding lines, and assembly stations — not behind a desk. Both lines are running: your job is to make them run better with process improvement projects.
We are in a position to sponsor an H-1 B visa for a deserving candidate.
