Job Description

Role And Responsibilities

• In this highly transparent role, you will handle the development and production ramp of manufacturing pro- cesses for mechanical enclosures for our legendary products.

• You will act as Technical Lead in communicating project readiness, identifying risks, and driving technical issues to closure.

• Responsibilities include handling transfer of existing processes into our suppliers, developing new pro- cesses, conducting DOEs to validate process capability, qualifying processes for mass production, and completing Audits for SOP compliance.

• Partner closely with Cupertino-based MDEs in the development of above said processes.

• Partner with Global Supply Managers to develop new equipment from RFQ through factory implementation, and manufacture and deliver material to downstream supply chain nodes on time and on cost.

• You will work with Manufacturing Quality Engineers to drive yield improvement through analyses of part quality, defect pareto, and SPC.
• A heavy emphasis will be on working with suppliers to define and refine mechanical tooling and fixtures, and establishing process capability and readiness.
• Coordination of activities and direction through clear communication between the Asia and US-based teams, and vendors is a necessity.

• You may audit supplier secondary processes and assembly processes as well as support product phase builds from prototype through ramp and mass production

• Has robotic systems programming experience (a plus, not required)

Experience

• Proven experience in Manufacturing Process Engineering

• Direct experience handling functional engineering team is an added advantage.

• Excellent product / project management skills, work in a matrix org

• Hands-on experience and technical knowledge in fixture design and various production processes such as CNC (milling, lathing), forming (stamping, forging), surface finishing (polishing, blasting, lapping, an- odization), coating (ink, paint), and assembly (gluing, laser welding, heat staking, ultrasonic welding).

• Experience with Statistical Process Control and Process Capability (Cp/Cpk) to make data driven decision.

• Must have experience in understanding drawings, TAs, and GD&T

• On-site build support; must be willing to work from OEM factories.
