About the Job

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field is required.
Two to five or more years of experience in PCBA manufacturing or electronics manufacturing is required.
The role requires the ability to stand and walk for extended periods, occasionally lift up to 25 pounds, and work in a manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities

Analyze and optimize PCBA production processes through statistical analysis, time studies, and workflow mapping while maintaining quality standards and cost targets.
Lead implementation of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma (DMAIC), and Kaizen initiatives, including developing value stream maps, conducting Kaizen events, and establishing key performance indicators to reduce cycle times.
Perform time and motion studies using predetermined time systems (MOST/MTM), analyzing workstation layouts and operator movements to improve throughput and ergonomic conditions.
Design and optimize assembly line configurations using line balancing techniques, takt time analysis, and labor modeling to improve line efficiency and workforce utilization.
Research, evaluate, and implement automation solutions including pick-and-place machines, AOI systems, and collaborative robots to reduce manual operations.
Partner with the Quality Engineering team to conduct FMEA, implement poka-yoke devices, and establish process controls to reduce defect rates.
Drive cost-reduction initiatives through material optimization, labor efficiency improvements, and process innovations.
Create and maintain SOPs, work instructions, and process documentation using TWI methodology.
Develop simulation models using software such as FlexSim or Arena to validate process improvements and optimize material flow.
Lead DFM/DFA reviews with engineering teams to improve product designs for manufacturability and assembly efficiency.
Implement real-time production monitoring systems and develop dashboards to track OEE, yield, and other critical metrics.
Design and execute pilot programs for new manufacturing technologies and methodologies before full-scale implementation.
Perform other duties as assigned.

Desired Qualifications

Lean Six Sigma certification (Green Belt or Black Belt) is preferred.
