Responsibilities
Own and sustain defined manufacturing processes to ensure consistent execution across shifts and product lines
Establish, document, and maintain standard work, process flows, and operating parameters
Ensure processes are clearly defined, understood, and followed by production teams
Regularly observe process execution on the production floor and address gaps in adherence or understanding
Maintain a consistent presence on the SMT production line to observe real-time process execution, support operators, and immediately address process variation or non-conformance
Develop and maintain process control plans and reaction plans for critical manufacturing processes
Define key process parameters (KPPs) and critical-to-quality (CTQ) characteristics
Use SPC and other monitoring methods to confirm process stability and capability
Lead response and corrective action when processes deviate from defined expectations
Implement and sustain SPC methodologies to support process control and early detection of variation
Select appropriate control chart types and sampling approaches
Analyze SPC data to identify trends, special cause variation, and opportunities for improvement
Ensure SPC results drive timely action, not just reporting
Lead and support root cause analysis related to process variation, defects, and escapes
Drive process improvements focused on variation reduction, yield improvement, and defect prevention
Support process validation, qualification, and change implementation
Validate improvements through defined process metrics and data analysis
Operate primarily from the SMT production floor, partnering directly with operators, technicians, and supervisors rather than working from a traditional engineering office environment
Provide hands-on coaching and training to operators and technicians on process discipline and control
Support NPI, process transfers, and production ramp-ups by establishing stable, repeatable processes
Communicate process risks, gaps, and improvement opportunities clearly to stakeholders
Ensure manufacturing processes and controls align with ISO, AS, IPC, and customer requirements
Support audits, CAPA activities, and customer issues related to process performance
Maintain accurate and controlled process documentation
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing, Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, or a related technical field required
