Process Engineer: DOE, Six Sigma & Assembly Excellence

Samtec; Penang; On-site; MYR 60,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Samtec is seeking a Process Engineer in Penang to lead DOE-based experiments and develop manufacturing best practices for the assembly process. You will apply Six Sigma DMAIC to root cause issues, perform capability studies, and determine readiness of design/process changes for full production.

You will guide cross-functional teams, interpret data, and perform engineering calculations for processes and equipment.

Qualifications

• Experience with Six Sigma/DMADV/DFSS concepts and problem-solving.
• Proficiency using DOE and statistical methods for process capability.
• Familiarity with FMEA/PFMEA as part of quality/process improvement.

Responsibilities

• Lead and execute experiments to identify key process variables using DOE type methodologies or other analytical methods.
• Develop standard manufacturing best practices, parameters, process windows, and work instructions that improve the Samtec assembly process.
• Use Six Sigma DMAIC process to determine root cause/solutions to process challenges.
• Use statistical methods to conduct process capability studies to determine if process is meeting key process requirements.
• Development process criteria to determine if raw cable design/process changes are ready for full volume production.
• Provide general guidance, direction, and support to other engineering and operations teams that improves the assembly process.
• Collect and interpret data from other technical and operating staff involved.
• Perform engineering calculations applying the principles of physics and mathematics for process or equipment, including conceptual, scheme, and detail design.
• Provide technical inputs for incident investigation considering an integral perspective (manpower, method, machines, materials, and measurement), documenting problem, root cause analysis and corrective action.
• Develop/research new manufacturing methods that help advance the assembly process long -term.
• Become a technical expert for processes and equipment in order to be key contributor during design reviews and prototype/development phases of new products.
• Responsible for programming, creating and documenting a process with procedures for automated and non-automated equipment sets.
• Responsible for material tracking and data compilation of assembly processes for alpha and beta product builds.
• Guides, manages, and provides feedback on tooling required for new products and processes.
