As a Manufacturing Engineer, you are responsible for developing and maintaining methods, operating sequences, and processes in the fabrication of parts, components, subassemblies, and final assemblies. You'll work closely with other engineering functions to coordinate the release of product improvements and new products, and you'll use engineering principles to estimate and reduce manufacturing costs, improve product quality, determine time standards, and make recommendations for tooling and process requirements. Your expertise in lean principles, automation, and continuous improvement will be instrumental in driving operational excellence and achieving higher levels of productivity and cost-effectiveness. You'll develop and use test procedures, evaluate test results, and assess work methods, procedures, and policies to identify root cause issues and solutions that ensure operational success.

Key Responsibilities

• Creates and monitors metrics to better understand discrepant material trends.

• Investigates data trends for actions and projects to reduce manufacturing generated discrepant material and scrap.

• Assign discrepant material reduction tasks and projects to personnel outside the Quality organization and track assignments to completion.

• Facilitate meetings to receive updates on tasks and projects.

• Provide training as necessary to Operations personnel.

• In a few cases, may need to develop and implement operational sequence and processes in the fabrication of parts, components, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies and lead manufacturing engineering related projects as required.

• Interfaces with other engineering functions to ensure new product has implemented changes which mitigate the risk of discrepant material being generated.

• Determines root cause analysis for issues that arise during assembly and/or test of systems; drives correction actions; provides failure analysis report as required.

• Uses lean six sigma methodology to drive continuous improvement projects.

• Collaborate with Supplier Quality Engineers to minimize supplier caused Quality non-conformances

• Quick engagement with Supplier Quality Engineers to manage responsiveness of suppliers to Mfg. issues with a focus on keeping manufacturing operational.

• Engagement on stock purges or containments in manufacturing while working with the Manufacturing Engineers to assess the product and prevent a line down

• Follow up with Supplier Quality Engineers and keep Manufacturing abreast of progress

• Evaluates work methods, procedures, and policies. Develops and maintains new business processes; edits as necessary to ensure current practices are documented.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Science or other relevant qualifications.

• At least 3 years of quality engineering experiences preferably in manufacturing or semiconductor industry

• Professional qualifications in Quality will be an added advantage.

• Proficiency in quality analysis tools and statistical software (e.g., Minitab).

• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma principles (Green Belt preferred).

• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.

• Ability to work cross-functionally and manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment across different time zones.
