- Provide day‑to‑day engineering support to Production and Manufacturing teams to resolve process‑related issues.
- Troubleshoot manufacturing problems and perform root‑cause analysis to identify and address recurring issues.
- Identify opportunities to improve production efficiency, quality, throughput, and process reliability.
- Analyze production data and performance metrics to identify trends and opportunities for improvement.
- Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation, work instructions, process specifications, and other technical documents.
- Support the development and implementation of manufacturing cells, tooling, fixtures, and equipment.
- Assist Production teams with technical questions related to manufacturing processes and equipment.
- Monitor process performance and recommend adjustments to improve consistency and productivity. New Product Introduction
- Support New Product Introduction (NPI) activities from design review through production launch.
- Work with Engineering, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to ensure new products are manufacturable and production‑ready.
- Review product designs, drawings, bills of materials, and related documentation for manufacturability.
- Identify potential manufacturing risks and recommend solutions during the NPI process.
- Develop manufacturing processes, work instructions, tooling, fixtures, and equipment requirements for new products.
- Support prototype builds, pilot runs, First Article builds, process validation, and production ramp‑up.
- Monitor new products during initial production and help resolve manufacturing issues. Continuous Improvement
- Participate in continuous improvement initiatives focused on productivity, quality, cost reduction, and process reliability.
- Apply Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and other process improvement techniques where appropriate.
- Identify opportunities to reduce waste, cycle time, defects, rework, and manufacturing costs.
- Support corrective and preventive action initiatives related to manufacturing processes.
- Evaluate new manufacturing technologies, equipment, and methods that may improve production performance.
- Work with Production and Quality teams to establish and monitor process performance metrics. Quality & Compliance
- Ensure manufacturing processes meet established quality requirements and company standards.
- Support process validation, inspection, testing, and quality improvement activities.
- Work with Quality to investigate non‑conformances, production defects, and customer‑related quality issues.
- Assist with corrective and preventive action activities and follow up on the effectiveness of implemented solutions.
- Maintain manufacturing processes and documentation in accordance with applicable company and industry standards.
- Support compliance with relevant IPC, J-STD, ISO, and other applicable manufacturing standards. Engineering Projects
- Participate in manufacturing engineering and process improvement projects from planning through implementation.
- Develop project timelines, technical requirements, and implementation plans with support from senior engineering staff.
- Coordinate with Production, Quality, Engineering, suppliers, and other stakeholders to implement process improvements.
- Support the selection, installation, commissioning, and qualification of manufacturing equipment.
- Provide technical input for equipment, tooling, and process‑related CAPEX requirements.
- Maintain accurate engineering documentation and project records. Systems & Technical Support
- Maintain working knowledge of manufacturing systems, including PLM and MES platforms.
- Support the use and improvement of manufacturing data and process‑control systems.
