Job description

Overview

Responsible for the transition of a new product from the design phase to mass production, ensuring quality, manufacturability, and timely launch.

Responsibilities

• Project Management: Leading NPI projects from start to finish, including planning, execution, and monitoring. Managing project timelines, budgets, and resources. Communicating project progress and results to stakeholders.
• Collaboration and Communication: Working closely with design, manufacturing, and other engineering teams. Facilitating communication and collaboration between different departments. Providing feedback to design engineers on manufacturability issues.
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Reviewing product designs for manufacturability and ease of assembly. Identifying potential manufacturing issues and recommending design changes.
• Process Development: Developing and documenting manufacturing processes, work instructions, and quality control procedures. Ensuring that processes are robust, repeatable, and efficient.
• Manufacturing Support: Overseeing and supporting pilot builds and production ramps. Identifying and resolving any manufacturing issues that arise during the transition. Supporting the selection and validation of tooling and equipment.
• Quality Assurance: Ensuring that new products meet quality standards and regulatory requirements. Developing and implementing quality control plans. Participating in Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and other risk assessment processes.
• Continuous Improvement: Identifying and implementing opportunities for continuous improvement in manufacturing processes. Analyzing data to identify trends and areas for optimization.
• Other duties as assigned by Reporting Officer.

Qualifications

• The candidate must possess at least a Degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics) or equivalent.
• At least 2 to 3 years of NPI Engineering in a manufacturing environment.
• Knowledge and experience in high-precision assembly or design.
• Knowledge of Manufacturing Processes — direct experience in mechanics, electronics, control systems, pneumatics, hydraulics in semiconductor industry.
• Knowledge in assembly of mechatronics systems, including linear motors, sensors, servos, actuators, dynamics, controls, etc.
• Experience with complex mechatronic systems for test and qualification of design changes.
• Exposure to multi-disciplinary projects such as imaging/optical systems, semiconductor, or lithography is preferred but not mandatory.
• Problem-Solving Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities to identify and perform root cause analysis and resolve problems at conceptual and advanced troubleshooting levels.
