Process Engineer

Role Purpose

 •         Work for process development and readiness for the SCS Receiving Team across optical cable and mechanical components assembly and future assigned processes. 

•          Work with project teams to take over complete process understanding, technical documentation, process controls, and operating knowledge. 

•          Work process qualification, stabilization, capability improvement, and transition from pilot production to stable manufacturing. 

•          Work for assembly process flow, critical parameters, operating windows, materials, product requirements, and key technical risks. 

•          Work with cross function team to understand product requirement and process requirement, for example, cycle time, process requirement for each station, process qualification requirements and define process development to fulfill critical customer requirement.

•          Work with cross function team for continuous improvement in safety, quality, delivery, cost, yield, throughput, and cycle time. 

•          Ensure technical learning and intellectual property developed through projects are documented and managed according to company requirements. 

Key Responsibilities

•    Working in receiving-team process engineering activities for project transfer, pilot production, process qualification, ramp-up, and transition to stable manufacturing. 
•    Working with project teams to take over optical cable assembly and other mechanical components processes, including process flow, product requirements, critical parameters, operating windows, risks, and control methods. 
•    Participate in product and process readiness reviews, engineering trials, FAT/SAT activities, equipment qualification, process certification, and production-release decisions. 
•    Be responsible for process readiness for pilot and mass production and ensure safety, quality, delivery, cost, capacity, and manufacturability requirements are addressed. 
•    Establish and maintain process specifications, SOPs, work instructions, setup standards, troubleshooting guides, process control plans, and engineering records. 
•    Working with cross function team and oversea team for process development, DOE, data analysis, parameter optimization, material evaluation, and technical issue closure for optical cable assembly and future products. 
•    Develop process capability and control strategies, including critical process parameters, SPC where appropriate, reaction plans, change control, and performance monitoring. 
•    Continuously monitor process performance and provide early warning of deviations from approved standards. 
•    Be responsible for process development activities like troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and effectiveness verification for process, yield, quality, material, and productivity issues. 
•    Identify, evaluate, implement, and document process, material, and equipment changes through the approved engineering change process. 
•    Support ECN screening and ensure manufacturing processes remain aligned with released drawings, BOMs, specifications, and documented standards. 
•    Create and maintain required manufacturing documentation, including BOMs, routings, drawings, specifications, and process records for assigned products. 
•    Assess capacity requirements and support equipment loading, line balancing, bottleneck analysis, material utilization, and expansion planning. 
•    Drive localization, material substitution, cost reduction, yield improvement, process efficiency, and lowest-cost-producer initiatives. 
•    Provide day-to-day technical support to Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Training, Purchasing, suppliers, and equipment vendors. 
•    Train trainers, technicians, and key operators on new products, processes, equipment, process controls, and troubleshooting methods. 
•    Build subject-matter expertise in assigned materials, processes, products, and equipment, and ensure knowledge is retained within the Receiving Team. 
•    Develop process KPIs and management routines covering capability, yield, throughput, cycle time, deviations, improvement actions, and closure status. 
•    Lead or participate in focused cross-functional projects for new product introduction, process improvement, product evolution, and manufacturing readiness. 
•    Coordinate technical risks, priorities, and escalation with the Project Team, Engineering Lead, Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Lean, Maintenance, and Training. 
•    Comply with all EHS, legal, regulatory, customer, and company requirements while promoting a strong engineering, quality, and safety culture. 
•    Support other manufacturing and engineering responsibilities assigned by the SCS Receiving Team Leader.
