About the Role

Responsibilities

• ● Drive process definitions, including routings, standard work instructions (WI), PFMEA, control plans, torque and alignment specifications, test protocols, acceptance criteria, and special process qualifications (e.g., rework, cleaning, vacuum/leak testing).
• ● Verify that lines, workstations, fixtures, and test equipment meet capability (Cp/Cpk), repeatability, ergonomics, and EHS requirements; identify gaps and drive corrective actions
• ● Ensure disciplined change and revision control, maintaining all process documentation in an audit ready state.
• ● Act as the main liaison for NPI transitions to ensure manufacturing launch readiness.
• ● Lead the introduction and readiness of new designs and lines for high volume manufacturing, including DFM/DFA reviews, tooling and fixture readiness, pilot builds, process prove out, capability studies (Cp/Cpk), and ramp up validation.
• ● Drive full line realization planning, including layout, capacity and cycle time modeling, staffing, and line balancing strategies until stable run rate is achieved.
• ● Collaborate with Product Development, Quality, Production, and Supply Chain to ensure manufacturability, process control, training requirements, and operational readiness from NPI through sustaining.
• ● Provide daily technical support to production and troubleshoot process and product issues.
• ● Drive structured problem solving (8D, DMAIC, 5 Why, Fishbone) and implement preventive actions to address yield loss, defects, and build inconsistencies; support MRB activities and drive timely CAPA closure.
• ● Drive performance against MFE KPIs and proactively conduct RCCA/CAPA when targets are at risk.
• ● Coordinate the design/procurement, qualification, and maintenance of jigs, fixtures, tooling, test systems, and automation; ensure calibration and preventive maintenance are in place
• ● Establish and maintain equipment operating procedures and maintenance standards; ensure spare parts and calibration plans are defined and available.
• ● Ensure full compliance with QMS, customer, and regulatory requirements; support audits and close findings in a timely manner.
• ● Coordinate in process and final inspection and test methods; monitor FPY, defect and rework rates, and escapes/warranty issues, and drive improvement actions.
• ● Partner and follow up with QE, SQE, and SDE on supplier incoming quality, special processes, and corrective actions; define receiving inspection and acceptance sampling criteria.
• ● Ensure controlled documentation (BOMs, routings, work instructions, drawings) is maintained in PLM/MRP systems (Agile/Oracle); keep Oracle Work Definitions (WD) current.
• ● Identify and lead CI initiatives to improve workflow, layout, line balance, takt alignment, SMED, WIP, OEE, and equipment utilization; quantify benefits to support business objectives.
• ● Apply Lean tools, including Poka Yoke, visual controls, standardized work, and 5S + Safety, to drive waste reduction and material recovery or reuse.
• ● Advance digitalization and automation (workflow simplification, dashboards, system implementation/VF), benchmark best practices, and maintain PFMEA relevance and process capability growth.
• ● Benchmark industry best practices and recommend technologies, equipment upgrades, or process innovations that enhance manufacturing performance and sustainability.
• ● Comply with all company policies, the code of conduct, ethical standards, and applicable laws and regulations.
• ● Adhere to QMS, EHS, data and IP protection, workplace protocols, and all relevant corporate, regulatory, and customer requirements.
• ● Support internal and external audits by providing accurate documentation and evidence; ensure timely closure of audit findings and observations.
• ● Manage Engineering Specialists' work assignments and performance.
• ● Perform any other duties as assigned.
• ● Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering (or a related discipline).
• ● Minimum of 10 years of manufacturing engineering experience in capital equipment or complex electro mechanical systems.
• ● Demonstrated proficiency in process documentation (PFMEA, control plans, work instructions), root cause analysis, and validation methods.
• ● Hands on experience with fixtures and tooling, measurement systems, and industrial safety practices.
• ● DFM/DFA experience; ability to read and interpret mechanical and electrical drawings.
• ● Lean methodologies: 5S, SMED, line balancing, visual management, and standardized work.
• ● Structured problem solving using 8D, DMAIC, Fishbone, and 5 Why methods, from rapid containment through permanent preventive actions.
• ● Quality Management Systems: ISO 9001; familiarity with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 for EHS considerations.
• ● CAD and enterprise systems, including PLM (Agile) and MRP (Oracle).
• ● Data and analytics tools such as Excel, Power BI, and Minitab.
• ● Test and measurement tools, including electrical and mechanical instrumentation, torque analyzers, surface flatness, vibration, and noise measurement equipment.
• ● Strong follow up discipline with effective stakeholder engagement and proficiency in English communication.
• ● Strong shop floor presence with the ability to train technicians and engineers effectively.
• ● High attention to detail, accuracy, compliance, and organizational rigor.
• ● Ability to work independently, manage multiple tasks, and maintain accountability in fast paced environments.
