Senior Manufacturing Engineer (Mechatronic Assemblies)

ASSA ABLOY • Redwood City, CA

113d • $130,000 - $200,000

About The Position

The Senior Manufacturing Design & Process Engineer is responsible for the development, implementation, and optimization of manufacturing processes for new and existing products that utilize Mechatronic assemblies. This role requires a heavy emphasis on statistical analysis and data-driven methodologies to ensure we meet quality, yield, and output targets. The position involves close collaboration with design engineering, quality teams, and international manufacturing partners.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or MS degree in Mechatronics, Robotics, Product Design Electromechanical Systems.
• 3+ years of experience focused on working with precision mechanical or mechatronic assemblies for consumer products.
• Strong understanding of and/or experience with products that use mechatronic technology (e.g. actuators, haptics, linear motors).
• Strong understanding of and/or experience with assemblies that utilize sensors.
• Strong competency in interpreting mechanical drawings and applying Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Proficiency with data querying languages (SQL) and scripting for data analysis (Python).
• Demonstrated expertise in statistical analysis software (JMP, Minitab, or similar with scientific computing libraries).
• Extensive practical application of SPC, including control chart implementation (e.g., I-MR, Xbar-R) and interpretation.
• In-depth experience designing and analyzing DOEs (e.g., factorial, response surface) to solve complex process problems.
• Thorough understanding and execution of Measurement System Analysis (MSA) and GR&R.
• Expertise in process capability analysis (Cp/Cpk) and its application for process validation and monitoring.
• Demonstrated project management skills in a cross-functional, global environment.
• Ability to work independently and manage evolving priorities.
• Experience working directly with international Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Contract Manufacturers (CMs).
• Ability to support a travel schedule of approximately 25% to manufacturing and supplier sites.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain statistically controlled (SPC) manufacturing processes.
• Develop and automate data collection systems using data analysis tools to monitor key process indicators.
• Act as the primary manufacturing interface to the design engineering team.
• Use statistical tolerance analysis, Gage Repeatability & Reproducibility (GR&R), and Design of Experiments (DOE) to guide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) activities.
• Perform rigorous analysis of manufacturing data to identify sources of variation and drive corrective actions.
• Create and maintain process monitoring dashboards using data analysis tools.
• Act as the technical lead for the specification, characterization, and qualification of automated and manual assembly and inspection equipment.
• Use process capability data (Cp/Cpk) to validate equipment performance against design and production requirements.
• Engage with vendors to ensure equipment meets technical specifications.
• Utilize formal problem-solving methodologies (e.g., Six Sigma, FMEA) to systematically improve manufacturing line performance, reduce scrap, and increase throughput.

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits package including paid time off.
• Bonus plan.
• 401(k) plan.
• Education assistance.
