Job's mission

 

As a New Product Manufacturing Engineer, you’ll help ensure the smooth handoff from design to production by resolving quality issues and improving first-of-a-kind tools. If you’re detail-oriented, curious, and ready to make a real impact at the intersection of engineering and manufacturing, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Track and resolve quality issues across NPI and HVM tools, working with design, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.

  • Apply quality tools (e.g., Fishbone, FMEA, 8D, Six Sigma) to identify root causes and drive continuous improvement.

  • Lead short- and long-term corrective actions for tools built at domestic and global sites.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams in hands-on environments to meet quality, cost, and cycle time goals.

  • Apply DFx principles to reduce defects in early product development (e.g., Design for Test, Design for Reliability).

  • Ensure manufacturing readiness during NPI builds by verifying tool quality and buildability.

  • Present KPIs to upper management, offering insight into product and process trends.

  • Manage and analyze complex data (e.g., defect logs, test results) to drive decisions.

  • Facilitate Kaizen events focused on product improvements before high-volume transition.

  • Support hands-on tool builds alongside technicians when needed to meet operational milestones.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field.

  • 0–3 years of experience in engineering or quality-focused roles.

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

  • Exposure to or willingness to learn quality tools (e.g., 5 Whys, FMEA, PDCA, Six Sigma).

  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with strict safety protocols.

  • Strong communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and executive reporting.

  • Eagerness to pursue Six Sigma certification (yellow, green, or black belt).

  • Positive, can-do attitude with attention to detail.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Hobbies or hands-on experience with mechanical, electrical, or robotics projects.

  • Experience in semiconductor or related technical fields.

  • Familiarity with SAP S4 HANA, Power BI, Tableau, or similar data platforms.

  • Advanced Excel skills (e.g., pivot tables, macros).
