Process Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Contribute to engineering improvements, yield recovery initiatives, cost reduction projects, and equipment upgrades on the production floor, while completing assigned tasks on schedule and escalating risks when necessary.
• Apply structured methods (5-Why, PDCA, 8D) to resolve production issues, machine abnormalities, and quality defects, while contributing solutions to improve manufacturability and reduce variation.
• Improve HVM production processes, including cycle time reduction, scrap reduction, tooling enhancement, fixture qualification, and equipment performance, while participating in machine buy-off, upgrades and capability improvement initiatives.
• Maintain and update Process Control Plans, Work Instructions, and FMEA+, ensure processes remain stable and within control limits, and strengthen risk controls through Control Tower elements such as SPC dashboards, pre-alerts, and ZDM behavior.
• Follow and implement safety procedures, chemical and equipment handling standards, and machine safety protocols, while actively reporting hazards and promoting a zero-incident, high-compliance environment.
• Collaborate with maintenance and equipment teams to execute preventive maintenance schedules, assist in equipment troubleshooting and machine recovery, and perform performance checks to ensure high uptime and reliability.
• Support data-driven process monitoring and capability analysis by using SPC, MSA, Cp/Cpk, Ppk, and GR&R to monitor high-volume production data, detect early process drifts, perform containment actions, and provide insights to prevent excursions and maintain Golden Line performance.
• Prepare data and reports for quality investigations, 8D analysis, recurring defect analysis, and customer quality discussions, while supporting capability studies and corrective action closure.
• Maintain accurate engineering records (WI, PCP, FMEA+, SPCR) and assist internal and external audits related to mass production performance, SPC discipline, and quality system compliance.
• Collaborate with technicians, supervisors, QA, IE, and maintenance to ensure smooth mass-production operations, provide guidance on process changes, troubleshooting, and proper execution of engineering controls.
• Leverage Power BI dashboards, real-time machine data, and IoT signals to identify bottlenecks, monitor line performance, and drive continuous improvement in HVM operations.

Requirements:

• Candidate must possess at least Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical / Manufacturing / Electrical / Mechatronics / Industrial Engineering or related field
• Possession of a Six Sigma Green Belt certification is preferred
• Basic-to-intermediate skills in 5-Why, PDCA, and structured problem-solving
• Knowledge of SPC, MSA, Cp/Cpk, GR&R, and basic capability analysis
• Understanding of mechanical systems, electrical basics, pneumatics, and automation fundamentals
• Basic awareness of DOE for process studies
• Ability to read technical drawings, GD&T, and equipment specs
• Familiar with RBA and ISO management systems
• Experience supporting 8D investigations, containment actions, and corrective actions for HVM issues
• Understanding of control plans, work instructions, line change management
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes, process flow, and line control
• Proficient in Excel; exposure to Minitab or JMP
• Able to use digital dashboards (Power BI) for process and yield monitoring
• Basic knowledge of machine interfaces and introductory PLC troubleshooting
• Strong communication and documentation skills
• Strong cross-functional coordination with QA, Maintenance, IE and Production
• Good time management, hands-on attitude, and proactive learning mindset
• Ability to guide technicians during troubleshooting or process changes
• Exposure to yield improvement, scrap reduction, machine recovery, or process stability improvement is preferred
• Fresh graduates / entry level applicants are encouraged to apply
