Manufacturing Process Engineer

About the Role

Provide hands-on engineering support to manufacturing operations with a primary focus on process development, optimization, and new product introduction. This role supports efficiency, quality, and manufacturability of electronic and electro-mechanical assemblies through continuous improvement, tooling design, and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, implement, and optimize manufacturing processes for electronic and electro-mechanical assembly, including workflow and equipment layout.
• Design and deploy tooling and fixtures to improve production efficiency, quality, and repeatability.
• Evaluate manufacturing needs and assist in the justification of capital equipment investments to support capacity and process improvements.
• Partner with Design Engineering to ensure new products are designed for manufacturability (DFM) and successfully transitioned into production.
• Participate in the introduction and implementation of new products into the production environment, including validation of processes, tooling, and documentation.
• Analyze production issues, identify root causes, and implement corrective actions to improve yield and throughput.
• Become the SME (Subject Matter Expert) for various processes and equipment on the manufacturing floor. Provide operator feedback geared towards quality improvement.
• Train and support manufacturing personnel on processes, tools, and best practices.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Production, and Sales to achieve business and operational objectives.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Proficiency with CAD tools for mechanical design, tooling development, and interpretation of drawings.
• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, SPC, and continuous improvement methodologies.
