1. End-to-End Program & Project Execution

• Plan, monitor, and control complex precision engineering projects seamlessly from receipt of customer orders through to final site installation and project completion.
• Develop comprehensive project baselines, work breakdown structures, schedules, and financial budgets to ensure strict adherence to timelines.
• Coordinate cross‑functional project teams (NPI, machining, assembly, and quality) to eliminate bottlenecks and guarantee committed delivery schedules are met.
• Drive from customer project acceptance and secure sign‑offs upon successful completion.

2. Technical Support & Engineering Governance

• Provide core technical expertise in precision manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, micro‑fabrication, metrology, and mechanical system integration.
• Evaluate manufacturing feasibility, review engineering drawings, and conduct risk assessments for high‑precision components and assemblies.
• Oversee configuration management and coordinate subsequent engineering change orders (ECOs), ensuring smooth implementation on the shop floor.
• Offer advisory support to operations teams to maintain consistent quality workmanship and adherence to strict design specifications.

3. Quality Assurance & Compliance

• Review, prepare, and administer Quality Assurance Plans (QAP), Inspection Test Plans (ITP), and other critical operational procedures.
• Ensure all manufacturing outputs comply with client specifications, surveillance requirements, and established industry standards (such as ISO 9001 and AS9100).
• Participate actively in the implementation of risk assessments and risk control procedures, particularly for specialized sectors like medical devices and semiconductor tooling.

4. Customer Interface & Stakeholder Management

• Act as the primary technical point of contact for clients, providing proactive updates on project development, manufacturing status, and technical milestones.
• Consult with clients on technical requirements, review or prepare contractual quotations for new and existing products, and offer value‑added engineering solutions.
• Deliver regular progress reports, technical documentation, and risk evaluations to internal management and external stakeholders under pressure‑filled conditions.

Position Requirements

Qualifications & Education

• Education: NTC, Diploma, or Bachelor's Degree in MechanicalEngineering, Manufacturing, Precision Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Experience Requirements

• 3 to 6 years of professional experience in program, project, or manufacturing engineering within a precision engineering, system integration, or contract manufacturing environment.
• Minimum of 2years of dedicated project management experience handling multi‑disciplinary teams within a precision machining or equipment manufacturing setting.
• Working familiarity with CAD/CAM software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CATIA) and project scheduling platforms (MS Project) is a distinct advantage.

Competencies & Attributes

• Strong technical acumen regarding precision machining processes, tooling, material properties, and high‑precision measurement tools.
• Exceptional analytical, problem‑solving, and risk‑mitigation capabilities.
• Resilient, self‑motivated, and independent, with the ability to manage multiplehigh‑stakes accounts under demanding deadlines.
• Outstanding communication and interpersonal skills suited for cross‑functional leadership and client‑facing collaboration. ering company Supportive and team‑oriented work environment
