Lead new line and new site bring-up at manufacturing partners, managing capacity verification through pilot builds and mass production release.
Specify, source, and validate tooling, fixtures, and test equipment while running statistical process control and driving corrective actions.
Provide design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test feedback during product development and represent manufacturing in pilot build reviews.
Qualify process and engineering changes on the line, conduct operator training, and audit partner facilities against company standards.
Collaborate with product engineering, test engineering, quality, and supply chain teams to resolve systemic build issues and reduce unit costs.

Requirements

Minimum of 8 years of experience in manufacturing or process engineering for complex electromechanical or electronics products at a contract manufacturer or ODM.
Demonstrated success designing and releasing an end-to-end production process and managing yield and cycle time in mass production.
Experience leading new line or site bring-ups and utilizing tools such as PFMEA, control plans, SPC, gauge R&R, and 8D structured root cause methods.
Ability to diagnose process problems directly through factory floor observation, data analysis, and clear communication with operators and leadership.
Degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
Availability to travel up to 50% of the time to partner manufacturing sites.
