Production Engineer

Objectives

To ensure product and process readiness during New Product Introduction (NPI) and production transition by establishing robust manufacturing processes, improving production efficiency, maintaining product quality and achieving on-time delivery through continuous improvement and cross-functional collaboration.

Key Responsibilities

• Review engineering drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs) and product specifications to ensure product and process readiness.
• Develop build documentation, standard operating procedures (SOPs) and work instructions.
• Validate product configurations and manufacturing processes during pilot builds and NPI activities.
• Lead PFMEA, Control Plan and 4M1E readiness to minimise process risks and ensure smooth production transitions.
• Monitor and analyse production performance, including labour hours, first-pass yield (FPY) and cycle time.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives, including Kaizen and Lean Manufacturing, to enhance productivity and reduce waste.
• Identify, troubleshoot and resolve technical and process-related issues to minimise production disruptions.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure production readiness, process efficiency and on-time delivery.

Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Mechatronic, Manufacturing or Industrial Engineering, or an equivalent qualification.
• Minimum 2 years of experience in equipment build, process engineering or system integration.
• Hands-on experience in mechanical assembly, electrical wiring and system integration testing.
• Knowledge of PFMEA, Control Plans, 4M1E and Lean Manufacturing principles.
• Familiarity with NPI, pilot builds, manufacturing process validation and production readiness.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to analyse production data and drive continuous process improvements.
• Good communication, interpersonal and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Self-motivated, hands-on and able to work independently as well as in a team.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage priorities and meet deadlines.
