Manufacturing Engineer - Equipment Integration & Maintenance

Atlas Motion; Biñan; On-site; PHP 600,000 - 900,000; Full time

Job summary

Atlas Motion is seeking an experienced Mechanical/Electrical/Mechatronics engineer to own the equipment lifecycle from specification to daily operation, calibration, and continuous improvement. This hands-on role sits on the factory floor and requires strong problem-solving skills to integrate and optimize winding, assembly, curing, and test equipment.

You will lead supplier coordination, commissioning, and handover, while developing tooling, fixtures, and standard work.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline.
• At least 4 years of hands-on manufacturing, equipment, maintenance, or automation engineering experience, including direct responsibility for commissioning equipment and resolving production breakdowns.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot machinery, read mechanical drawings and electrical schematics, and work with sensors, actuators, drives, pneumatics, and PLC/HMI-controlled equipment.
• Practical experience developing preventive maintenance programs, managing critical spares, and using structured root cause analysis to prevent repeat failures.
• Ability to design or improve tooling and fixtures using CAD, analyze production data in Excel or Google Sheets, and write clear technical instructions.
• Strong ownership and prioritization: work independently, communicate risks early, coordinate suppliers, and follow issues through to verified closure. Comfortable working on-site in a growing manufacturing operation.

Responsibilities

• Own the equipment lifecycle from specification and installation to reliable daily operation, calibration, maintenance, and improvement.
• Lead supplier coordination, installation, site acceptance testing, commissioning, and production handover with Quality and Production.
• Integrate winding, assembly, dispensing, curing, balancing, and test equipment; manage interfaces, fixtures, and changeovers.
• Support new product introduction, pilot builds, ramp-up, and engineering changes; develop jigs, fixtures, and standard work.
• Use downtime, cycle-time, yield, scrap, and OEE data to remove bottlenecks and validate capacity gains.
• Build preventive maintenance plans, maintenance records, and service schedules; conduct condition-based checks where useful.
• Respond to breakdowns and troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, sensor, motor-drive, and basic controls issues; coordinate OEMs for complex repairs.
• Maintain machine manuals, drawings, setup instructions, maintenance procedures, and training operators.
• Partner with Facilities and EHS on utilities, guarding, interlocks, lockout/tagout, and safe servicing; verify readiness before production.

Job description

Own the manufacturing equipment lifecycle, from specification and installation to reliable daily operation, calibration, maintenance, and improvement. This is a hands-on factory-floor role: you will integrate machines, solve breakdowns, develop tooling, and build the systems that keep production safe, stable, and scalable.

II. What You Own

Four operating areas define the role, from equipment selection and commissioning through reliable daily operation.

• Translate production requirements into equipment specifications, capacity needs, layouts, utility requirements, acceptance criteria, and capital expenditure proposals; compare suppliers, technical risks, and total cost of ownership.
• Lead supplier coordination, installation, factory and site acceptance testing, commissioning, and production handover. Verify safety, cycle time, repeatability, yield, and readiness with Production and Quality.
• Integrate winding, assembly, dispensing, curing, balancing, and test equipment as applicable; manage machine interfaces, fixtures, recipes, and changeovers.
• Support new product introduction, pilot builds, production ramp-up, and engineering changes. Develop jigs, fixtures, workstations, machine settings, and standard work with Design, Production, and Quality.
• Use downtime, cycle-time, yield, scrap, and overall equipment effectiveness data to remove bottlenecks, improve changeovers, and validate sustainable capacity gains.

Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Equipment Reliability

• Build and run preventive maintenance plans, equipment registers, service schedules, work orders, and maintenance records; introduce condition-based checks where useful.
• Respond to breakdowns and troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, sensor, motor-drive, and basic controls issues within your competence. Coordinate OEMs and qualified specialists for complex repairs.
• Eliminate recurring failures through root cause analysis and verified corrective actions. Own critical spare-parts planning — including imported spares and overseas OEM lead times — service vendors, warranty claims, and maintenance cost tracking.

Documentation, Training & Safe Operation

• Maintain machine manuals, drawings, setup instructions, maintenance procedures, control-program backups, and change records. Train operators and technicians on correct use, daily checks, and escalation.
• Partner with Facilities and EHS on utilities (and, during plant build-out, absorb utility bring-up — compressed air, power, local exhaust — where these functions are not yet staffed), machine guarding, interlocks, lockout/tagout, local exhaust ventilation for solvent processes, and safe servicing. Coordinate test-equipment upkeep and calibration with Quality; verify readiness before returning equipment to production.

III. What We Are Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline.
• At least 4 years of hands-on manufacturing, equipment, maintenance, or automation engineering experience, including direct responsibility for commissioning equipment and resolving production breakdowns.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot machinery, read mechanical drawings and electrical schematics, and work with sensors, actuators, drives, pneumatics, and PLC/HMI-controlled equipment.
• Practical experience developing preventive maintenance programs, managing critical spares, and using structured root cause analysis to prevent repeat failures.
• Ability to design or improve tooling and fixtures using CAD, analyze production data in Excel or Google Sheets, and write clear technical instructions.
• Strong ownership and prioritization: work independently, communicate risks early, coordinate suppliers, and follow issues through to verified closure. Comfortable working on-site in a growing manufacturing operation.

Nice to Have

• Motor, electronics, automotive, robotics, or precision assembly manufacturing; equipment such as coil winders, dispensers, curing ovens, presses, balancing machines, or automated test stations; 3D printing / additive manufacturing for jigs, fixtures, and prototype tooling.
• PLC/HMI programming, motion control, machine vision, automation integration, or a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS).
• Launching a new line or factory, transferring equipment into production, or delivering measurable improvements in uptime, yield, throughput, or maintenance cost.

IV. Key Character Behaviors

Strong performance turns production needs into safe, practical equipment that remains reliable after handover.

• Safety-first judgment: Treats guarding, interlocks, ergonomics, stored energy, and maintainability as core design requirements.
• Practical design thinking: Creates simple, serviceable fixtures and equipment that operators can set up and use consistently.
• Reliability mindset: Anticipates wear, tolerance stack-up, calibration needs, and failure modes before releasing equipment.
• Calm fault isolation: Troubleshoots from evidence, narrows variables methodically, and avoids temporary fixes that hide root causes.
• Supplier accountability: Holds suppliers and OEMs to agreed specifications, acceptance criteria, and lead times, and follows issues through to verified closure.
