Mechanical Engineer jobs in Malaysia

As a Manufacturing Engineer, you will be the crucial link between research and development and high-quality mass production. You will take ownership of the entire manufacturing process for our cutting-edge products, from New Product Introduction (NPI) to end-of-life. More than just supporting the factory, you will lead, troubleshoot, and optimize our contract manufacturing partners to ensure we deliver world-class products on time, every time.

This is a hands-on role for a natural problem-solver who thrives on the factory floor and enjoys making a tangible impact.

• Lead the development and implementation of robust manufacturing assembly and test processes for New Product Introductions (NPI).
• Design and optimize factory layouts, fixtures, and tooling to support scalable production.
• Own the production ramp-up for NPI projects, ensuring a smooth transition from prototype to high-volume manufacturing.

• Develop and continuously improve standard work instructions, ensuring clarity, repeatability, and quality across all product lines.
• Champion yield improvement initiatives: systematically analyze production data to drive First Pass Yield (FPY) and Rolled Throughput Yield (RTY) to meet and exceed targets.
• Identify and eliminate production bottlenecks, driving cycle time reduction projects to improve factory efficiency and output.

• Serve as the lead technical authority for troubleshooting complex product failures on the line when factory engineers require escalation support.
• Manage and implement Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), Bill of Material (BOM) updates, and firmware/test changes with precision and clear communication to the factory.
• Partner with the quality team and suppliers to diagnose and resolve component quality issues at the root cause.

• Act as the primary manufacturing interface with our Contract Manufacturers (CMs), driving them to meet operational goals for quality, delivery, and cost.
• Collaborate closely with Design Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to ensure Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Testability (DFT), and Assembly (DFA) principles are incorporated early in the product lifecycle.

Required

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or a related engineering field.
• 5–7+ years of hands-on experience in a manufacturing engineering role, preferably within the electronics or consumer products industry.
• Proven experience leading NPI projects and ramping production lines at a contract manufacturer.
• Strong analytical and data-driven problem-solving skills (e.g., root cause analysis, statistical process control).
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to effectively collaborate with technical teams, suppliers, and regional stakeholders.

• Deep PCBA Expertise: In-depth knowledge of SMT processes and a demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex PCBA failures down to the component level.
• Mechanical Acumen: Proficiency in interpreting mechanical drawings with solid understanding of GD&T to resolve part-fit and assembly issues.

• Proficiency in spoken Malay to facilitate clear communication on the factory floor.
