What they need
- The Mechanical/Industrial Engineer is a hands-on manufacturing engineering leader responsible for designing, optimizing, and sustaining production systems to improve capacity, labor efficiency, quality, cost, and equipment utilization
- The role analyzes operations, develops mechanical tooling and production solutions, resolves manufacturing defects, and leads continuous improvement projects in partnership with Production, Quality, Maintenance, Automation, Test, Product/Process Engineering, R&D, and Supply Chain teams
- The engineer supports safe, stable, repeatable, and scalable manufacturing across equipment, tooling, layouts, material flow, labor methods, and product transitions
- Production and process optimization: Analyze manufacturing workflows, equipment, labor utilization, cycle time, line balancing, and constraints. Identify bottlenecks and implement improvements that increase throughput, efficiency, and manufacturing stability
- Capacity and workforce efficiency: Perform capacity analysis, establish production standards, and recommend staffing, workstation, line, and cell configurations that maximize headcount efficiency while supporting quality and cost requirements
- Mechanical tooling and fixture development: Design, develop, qualify, and improve jigs, fixtures, tools, workstations, and mechanical production aids for top-level assembly (TLA) and related manufacturing processes. Maintain accurate tooling documentation in Agile or the applicable product lifecycle management system
- Defect resolution and corrective action: Lead root-cause investigations and corrective actions for TLA and production defects. Use structured problem-solving, data analysis, and cross-functional follow-through to prevent recurrence
- Layout and material flow: Develop and maintain efficient production layouts, material movement, storage, and point-of-use presentation. Recommend layout updates that improve flow, ergonomics, safety, and capacity
- Continuous improvement: Lead Lean, Six Sigma, and other structured improvement initiatives to reduce waste, variation, downtime, rework, and operating cost while improving yield, productivity, and equipment utilization
- Quality and compliance: Support defect prevention, statistical process control, process capability, control plans, risk assessments, work instructions, and root-cause analysis. Ensure changes are documented and implemented through applicable engineering change and deviation processes
- Cost reduction: Evaluate manufacturing costs and identify opportunities for labor, material, tooling, equipment, floor-space, and resource savings without compromising product quality or production readiness
- Project and change leadership: Lead cross-functional projects involving equipment upgrades, tooling deployment, process changes, automation opportunities, new technologies, and new product introduction or mass-production readiness
- Documentation and performance reporting: Create and maintain manufacturing documentation, engineering specifications, layouts, standards, and project records. Track and present relevant KPIs, project status, risks, results, and recommended next actions to management
- Technical leadership: Provide technical guidance, mentor less-experienced team members, coordinate vendor or contractor support when needed, and promote disciplined engineering practices across manufacturing operations
- Ensure TLA production requirements and maximum labor efficiency are achieved at the expected quality and cost
- Increase manufacturing capacity and equipment utilization through data-based process, tooling, layout, and workflow improvements
- Reduce recurring defects and production disruptions through effective root-cause analysis and sustainable corrective actions
- Deliver qualified, documented, production-ready tooling and processes that support current products, changes, and new product introductions
- Identify and implement measurable cost-reduction and continuous-improvement opportunities while maintaining safety and product quality- Strong project management, technical documentation, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills
- 6+ years of professional engineering experience in high-volume electronics manufacturing or a comparable production environment
- Ability to collect, analyze, and interpret production data and translate findings into practical engineering solutions
- Proficiency with Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, structured problem-solving, root-cause analysis, and corrective action methods
- Demonstrated experience with manufacturing process optimization, capacity analysis, line balancing, work measurement, material flow, and production layout
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related engineering field
- 3D modelling for tooling and additive manufacturing experience
- Hands-on experience designing, developing, qualifying, or improving mechanical tooling, fixtures, jigs, and production workstations
- Experience with electronics assembly equipment, automation, test interfaces, and production equipment qualification
- Familiarity with product lifecycle management systems such as Agile and with engineering change, deviation, and document-control workflows
- Experience using CAD (2D and 3D) tools for mechanical design and production layout development. Familiarity with product lifecycle management systems such as Agile and with engineering change, deviation, and document-control workflows
- Experience supporting new product introduction, product qualification, and transition to mass production
- Knowledge of statistical analysis software, manufacturing KPIs, and quality management systems
