NPI ENGINEER

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS

1. Drive NPI (New Product Introduction) from conceptualization to prototype delivery and ensure quality, cost and schedule requirements are fully met

2. Ensure the NPI product transition to mass production with manufacturability requirements (cost, quality, yield, productivity) fulfilled

3. Be the key driver and/or partner with process/equipment engineering team to develop and expand new process envelope to meet new product/customer requirements

RESPONSIBILITIES

1.  Drive NPI (New Product Introduction) from conceptualization to prototype delivery and ensure quality, cost and schedule requirements are fully met

• Perform effective new product/process scoping to identify new NPI risks and establish proactive risk mitigation plan in order to meet customer requirements
• Effectively plan the overall prototype execution schedule, resource requirements and ensure flawless execution including rallying support from relevant stakeholders.  These include co-ordinating all project elements including engineering design, material selection and characterization, quality planning, manufacturing, installation, commissioning and final buy-off phases.
• Drive and/or partner with process engineer to comprehensively characterize key product and process characterization in order to establish process recipe that meeting process capability and stability requirements.  This involves effective SPC deployment as well as defect characterization and analysis.
• React promptly and effectively to resolve NPI issues and ensure customer requirements are being met
• Perform effective sample shipment release review with all customer quality and reliability requirements fulfilled.
• Perform effective retrospective to capture learning for continuous learning and prevent issue recurrence

2. Ensure the NPI product transition to mass production with manufacturability requirements (cost, quality, yield, productivity) fulfilled

• Provide support to operation team on smooth transfer of the prototype into mass production stage
• To provide critical learning and support to operation team on process and quality related issues during the initial ramp up phase
• Ensure all manufacturability requirements (cost, quality, yield, productivity) meet or exceed the production transfer target
• Ensure quality system and all process documents are in place to meet customer audit and mass production requirements.

3. Be the key driver and/or partner with process/equipment engineering team to develop and expand new process envelope to meet new product/customer requirements

• Facilitate material selection and characterization to meet the NPI requirements
• Facilitate equipment selection and/or process flow creation to meet the NPI customer requirements
• Plan and execute DOE (Design of Experiment) to meet the new product/process envelope target
