Responsibilities

This role plays a key leadership position in both new product introduction (NPI) and high-volume manufacturing, leveraging deep technical expertise to ensure that advanced electronic measurement instruments developed at the Hachioji site are delivered efficiently, reliably, and at scale to customers worldwide.

Working closely with R&D and global manufacturing sites, you will lead end-to-end manufacturing strategy and execution, including process development, production ramp-up, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Lead the development and implementation of scalable manufacturing processes that meet quality, cost, and delivery targets
• Drive Design for Manufacturing/Test (DFM/DFT) initiatives in collaboration with R&D to ensure manufacturability from early design stages
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to global manufacturing sites, including hands-on support for production ramp-up and issue resolution
• Own and drive continuous improvement initiatives (quality, cost, yield, cycle time) for mass production
• Lead root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for complex manufacturing and field issues
• Manage design changes related to component obsolescence, cost optimization, and quality improvement
• Act as the manufacturing lead in cross-functional NPI teams, influencing key technical and business decisions

Qualifications

Preferred:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in electronic engineering, control systems engineering, or a related field
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes for electrical/electronic products
• Proven ability to lead complex manufacturing initiatives and work across global, cross-functional teams
• Effective communication skills in both Japanese and English
• 5+ years of professional experience in analog circuit design and/or manufacturing engineering
• Experience in new product introduction (NPI) and production ramp-up in a global environment
• Hands-on experience with DFM/DFT, yield improvement, and failure analysis
• Experience in influencing design decisions to optimize manufacturability and cost
• Familiarity with test systems, automation, or embedded software is a plus
