This role owns manufacturing concept for new products, including process flow, line balancing and automation strategy, while collaborating across teams to deliver high-volume, quality assemblies.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 5+ years of manufacturing engineering experience in automated production environments.

• Influence product architecture so it can be built on automated lines at volume.
• Develop the manufacturing concept for each new product: process flow diagrams, station definitions, cycle time estimates, line balancing and factory layouts.
• Choose the automation level for each process step and justify with cost, quality, throughput and capital estimates.
• Define the in-process and end-of-line test strategy alongside design and quality engineering.
• Evaluate manufacturing equipment suppliers through concept studies, feasibility trials and proof-of-concept builds.
• Identify the highest-risk processes early and reduce risk with experiments and supplier trials.
