About The Position

The Manufacturing Process Engineer develops, maintains, and improves manufacturing processes to support safe, efficient, repeatable, high-quality production. The role owns manufacturing BOM structures and routings in SAP, supports engineering changes and new product introduction, and translates product and process information into executable manufacturing requirements. Working closely with Engineering/R&D, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain, this position resolves manufacturing issues and improves cycle time, yield, scrap, and operational performance. It develops and maintains processes, work instructions, fixtures, tooling, line layouts, testing, and calibration requirements for production.

Requirements

Experience in manufacturing engineering, process engineering, electronics manufacturing, or a related production environment.
Working knowledge of BOMs, routings, engineering changes, configuration control, and manufacturing documentation.
Electronics background with experience supporting testing and calibration processes.
Ability to develop and improve manufacturing processes, work instructions, fixtures, tooling, and production layouts.
Strong troubleshooting, root cause analysis, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to work effectively with Engineering, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain teams in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Strong attention to detail and effective written and verbal communication skills.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field preferred.
Experience in electronics or automotive-related manufacturing.
Hands-on experience with electronic product testing, calibration, soldering, assembly, or repair processes.
Experience with ERP/MRP systems, including SAP BOM and routing management.
Experience supporting new product introduction and Engineering Change Order implementation.
Experience with Lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, yield improvement, and scrap reduction.

Responsibilities

Own and maintain manufacturing BOM structures and routings in SAP, including material numbers, configuration control, and manufacturing-related master data.
Support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) by assessing manufacturing impact, implementing approved changes in SAP, and coordinating rollout to the production floor.
Develop, document, and improve manufacturing processes, work instructions, fixtures, tooling, and line layouts for assembly, soldering, testing, and related operations.
Partner with Engineering/R&D during new product introduction to translate product designs into manufacturable BOMs, routings, processes, and production requirements.
Support production readiness for new products and engineering or process changes by ensuring documentation, tooling, materials, and manufacturing requirements are established before implementation.
Troubleshoot BOM, routing, configuration, process, testing, and calibration issues affecting production execution, product quality, costing, or planning accuracy.
Provide technical support to Production and Quality when manufacturing problems, recurring defects, equipment concerns, or process deviations occur.
Drive continuous improvement focused on cycle time, productivity, first-pass yield, scrap reduction, process stability, and manufacturing efficiency.
Analyze manufacturing data and production issues, identify root causes, and implement sustainable corrective and preventive process improvements.
Support the development and optimization of testing and calibration processes for electronic products and manufacturing equipment.
Keep manufacturing processes and documentation current, controlled, repeatable, and aligned with applicable quality and safety requirements.
Collaborate with Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Engineering to improve manufacturability, resolve operational constraints, and support production objectives.
