Summary
Steven Leseman is a senior extrusion process engineer and hands-on manufacturing leader with over 30 years of deep experience in medical-device polymer processing and 10 years in senior engineering roles. He has led extrusion operations, SMEs, and process engineering teams—most recently supporting TE Connectivity floors and shutdown activities—while previously directing process engineering for a full-service extrusion-to-finished-device provider. Combining a Master’s in Computer Science (Applied Science & Technology) with practical expertise in lean Six Sigma, Steven blends data-driven problem solving with shop-floor know-how to boost throughput, cut scrap, and validate regulated processes. He has a track record of inventing novel extrusion techniques, mentoring development teams, and scaling capabilities across startups and OEMs, including doubling takt time and achieving dramatic scrap reductions. Based in Rogers, MN, he also runs consulting engagements and has repeatedly taken founder/lead roles that translate technical improvements into measurable business ROI. Not obvious from the title: his background spans hands-on tooling, machining, and material R&D through executive management, enabling rare end-to-end ownership of complex polymer manufacturing projects.
