• Partner with Mechanical Design Engineering to optimize designs for manufacturability, assembly efficiency, quality, reliability, and cost.
• Develop, qualify, and optimize manufacturing processes for sheet metal, machining, die casting, plastic injection molding, extrusion, and mechanical assemblies.
• Collaborate with suppliers, contract manufacturers, and ODM partners to establish robust, high-yield manufacturing processes utilizing mistake-proofing (Poka-Yoke) methodologies.
• Drive DFM, DFA, tolerance analysis, tooling reviews, process capability assessments, and production readiness evaluations.
• Identify and implement cost reduction and value engineering opportunities for both new and sustaining products.
• Develop tooling strategies, qualification plans, and validation activities to support successful production launches.
• Lead manufacturing issue resolution through root cause analysis and implementation of corrective and preventive actions.
• Support qualification and transfer of products, assemblies, and components between suppliers, fabrication sources, manufacturing sites, and contract manufacturers.
• Perform supplier capability assessments and manufacturing audits in partnership with Supplier Quality Engineering.
• Monitor supplier performance and drive continuous improvement in quality, delivery, cost, and process capability.
• Analyze manufacturing, quality, and field performance data to identify opportunities for yield improvement and defect reduction.
• Coordinate with R&D, Quality, Test Engineering, Reliability Engineering, and Operations teams to resolve product and process issues.
• Represent Manufacturing Engineering during design reviews, supplier reviews, and cross-functional product development meetings.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 4 to 6 years of experience in Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering, New Product Introduction, or Product Industrialization.
• Hands‑on experience with mechanical fabrication processes including: Sheet metal fabrication CNC machining Die casting Plastic injection molding Extrusion Mechanical assembly processes Experience working directly with global suppliers, contract manufacturers, and ODM partners.
• Strong understanding of DFM, DFA, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing process development.
