Job summary

N/A is seeking an experienced maintenance professional to develop and execute preventive maintenance plans across production equipment. You will lead TPM initiatives to enhance OEE and decrease unplanned downtime, while addressing breakdowns promptly on the line.

The role involves using FMEA, 5 Why, and SPC for root-cause analysis and driving long-term improvement projects, including automation upgrades and PLC-based optimizations.

Qualifications

• Three years of experience in non-standard equipment maintenance or debugging.
• Experience in automated production line operation and maintenance, PLC program optimization, and MES data integration is preferred.
• Fluent in reading and writing both Chinese and English.

Responsibilities

• Develop and implement weekly, monthly, and annual Preventive Maintenance (PM) plans, including inspection checklists, lubrication schedules, and replacement standards for wear parts.
• Improve equipment Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and reduce unplanned downtime through TPM (Total Productive Maintenance).
• Respond quickly to unexpected equipment breakdowns on the production line.
• Use tools such as FMEA, 5 Why, and SPC to identify root causes and implement both immediate corrective actions and long-term improvements.
• Lead equipment automation upgrades, program optimization, parameter adjustments, and customized equipment modification projects.
• Improve equipment cycle time, yield, and energy efficiency through PLC programming, sensor upgrades, and pneumatic system optimization.
• Prepare and maintain technical documents, including Equipment SOPs, maintenance work instructions, inspection checklists, and troubleshooting manuals.
• Work closely with Process, Quality, Production, and R&D teams and participate in New Product Introduction (NPI) equipment validation.
• Manage the complete equipment lifecycle, from equipment selection, purchasing, installation, commissioning, and acceptance to retirement.
• Ensure compliance with equipment safety procedures and implement LOTO (Lockout/Tagout), safety-device inspections, and emergency-stop testing.
