Process Engineer

Infineon•Leominster, MA

42d•$95,100 - $130,800•Onsite

About The Position

Infineon Technologies is seeking a Process Engineer to provide sustaining manufacturing support in the manufacturing area. This role involves resolving day-to-day production issues, driving issues to root cause, and applying manufacturing best practices to enhance reliability and predictability. The Process Engineer will develop, lead, and implement projects aimed at improving operational efficiency and delivering savings, such as on-time delivery, productivity, and scrap reduction. The position requires routine work on complex issues, necessitating in-depth evaluation of factors and resolution of assembly and mechanical screening process issues using structured problem-solving techniques like 8D. The role also involves leading teams and implementing projects through continuous improvement initiatives like Lean or Six Sigma, acting as an engaging floor practitioner. Additionally, the Process Engineer will identify and address project risks related to backend processes and materials, translate DFMEA to PFMEA, and utilize other risk management methods. This role requires initiative, independent action, and calculated risk-taking. The Process Engineer will assist in transitioning new products from R&D to Pilot and HVM following a stage/gate process and define long-term process technology development roadmaps. Collaboration with internal manufacturing sites and external OSATs for assembly and screening is expected, along with supporting supplier quality, purchasing, and other groups in identifying and working with material vendors impacting these processes.
