• Capable of building process flow diagrams, standard work instructions, time studies, and workload analysis for new product introduction.
• Knowledge of automation concepts, including fixture design, error‑proofing (poka‑yoke), robotic automation, and semi/fully‑automated station design.
• Ability to collaborate with automation engineers to translate production pain points into automation requirements, ROI justification, and feasibility evaluations.
• Familiarity with lean manufacturing tools such as 5S, Kaizen, JIT, Heijunka, VSM, SMED, and waste elimination methodologies.
• Understanding of manufacturing quality tools such as SPC, MSA, APQP, PPAP, and 8D problem solving.

Software & Technical Tools

• Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo, or equivalent) for evaluating fixture, jig, or automation concepts.
• Experience with data analysis tools (Python, Minitab, JMP, or Power BI) for yield, cycle‑time, and station performance analysis.
• Ability to create clear engineering documentation, including DFM reports, process validation reports, PFMEA, and transfer checklists.

Project & Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Experience working with R&D, manufacturing, quality, automation, and supply chain teams across regions.
• Ability to drive design‑to‑manufacturing alignment meetings, ensuring both product and process readiness.
• Strong communication skills for coordinating cross‑regional process transfer and ensuring smooth SOP launch in receiving factories.
• Skilled in managing pilot builds, identifying risk items, and proposing corrective/preventive actions.

Automation‑Oriented Mindset
