The Manufacturing Engineer is responsible for complex electronic assemblies. Perform the lead role in the implementation of LEAN manufacturing processes and use of Six Sigma tools.
You will become an expert in the manufacturing processes, train shop floor personnel and monitor key metrics. Also solve complex manufacturing problems and take an active role in troubleshooting quality and production yield related issues within manufacturing.
Key skills
Min BSc or BEng in Electrical, Electronic, Industrial Engineering (or similar)
Manufacturing especially Electronic assembly
Lean and Six Sigma
Production Workflow
Non-Conformance Management
Technical Investigation Support
Production Test and Assembly
Manufacturing Resource Planning System
Role responsibilities
Lean Six Sigma, responsible for the implementation of key elements of Lean, such as: standardized work instructions, line balancing, layout and work sequence (routing) optimization, training development matrix, Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen/5S workouts, pull processes, TPM (total preventive maintenance), cell design, and quick changeover/batch-size optimization.
Processes
Implement process improvements to achieve manufacturing excellence in areas such as process yield (e.g. First Pass Yield, Rolled Throughput Yield), cycle time reduction and productivity.
Provide shop floor feedback on product design and manufacturability issues to Engineering and DFMs (e.g. through the use of Engineering Change Requests - ECRs).
Review and sign-off on Engineering Change Orders that impact Inventory - including product life cycle issues, obsolescence, etc.
Creates, implements, and monitors key performance indicators and metrics on manufacturing process capability and product quality.
Monitoring and reducing process costs.
Quality, responsible to assist with investigation, root cause analysis and corrective action implementation for manufacturing quality issues. ....Read more...
