Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description Summary

Engineering associated with the manufacturing process. Accountable for the quality of own work. Subject to direct operations supervision/prescribed work instructions/systems checking. Executes within a well-defined operations framework. There is generally a step by step sequence of standard operational tasks which need to be followed to achieve an end result.

Job Description

                         Components Repair

• Conduct engineering evaluation on parts repair based on inspection results and the scope of work specified in the repair contract.
• Compile repair documents and process qualification materials to ensure compliance with the "standardized operation" requirement in lean production.
• Develop repair process documents for each project in line with actual repair needs; simultaneously analyze the value stream in the repair process, and identify and eliminate non-value-added wastes such as waiting and redundant movements.
• Formulate technical solutions and make decisions during the repair process; meanwhile, optimize processes based on lean concepts (e.g., shortening repair cycles, improving first-pass repair rate) to reduce process costs.
• Review the repair schedule to meet customer requirements; monitor progress in real time using lean tools (e.g., kanban management) to avoid additional costs caused by schedule delays.
• Select replacement parts, consumables, and Standard Operating Procedures (POR) for components repair; give priority to materials with high cost-effectiveness that comply with the "zero inventory" or "low inventory" principle of lean procurement to reduce inventory costs.
• Review the cost structure at the project level, compare it with lean cost control targets (e.g., unit repair cost, material waste rate targets), ensure the achievement of cost control requirements set by the company, and formulate improvement measures in a timely manner for over-expenditure items.
• Prepare and submit repair reports to customers on time; the reports shall include lean improvement results (e.g., repair efficiency improvement rate, cost reduction amount) and quality compliance status.

 EHS & Quality (Environment, Health, Safety and Quality)

• Collaborate with the EHS department to eliminate EHS hazards; incorporate EHS requirements into lean improvement activities to avoid production interruption costs caused by safety issues.
• Track and inspect repair quality, strictly implement the requirements of repair documents and drawings; meanwhile, promote lean quality tools (e.g., mistake-proofing, QC team activities) to reduce repair rework rate and quality costs.
• Promote 6S management (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain, Safety) in the components repair team; optimize the layout of the work area in combination with lean on-site management requirements to improve work efficiency.
• Respond to customers' inquiries about repair results; conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for quality problems arising during the repair process, and optimize the repair process using lean improvement methods (e.g., PDCA cycle) to reduce quality costs (e.g., rework fees, customer complaint compensation fees).

Team Build-up

• Develop development plans for team members, including work skill improvement and certification plans; focus on incorporating training on lean tools (e.g., Value Stream Mapping, Single-Minute Exchange of Die, Total Productive Maintenance - TPM) to enhance the team's lean practice capabilities.
• Identify the overall performance gaps of the team; set improvement targets through lean performance indicators (e.g., repair efficiency, cost control compliance rate, quality qualification rate) to drive the improvement of team performance.
• Provide timely coaching to team members; offer guidance on difficulties in lean work (e.g., waste identification, process optimization) to ensure the team can effectively implement lean requirements.

Basic Qualifications

• Education & Major: Bachelor's degree or above in Mechanical Design, Mechanical Engineering, Materials, or related majors; master's degree or professional background in industry segments is preferred.

2. Lean Production Expertise

• Master the five principles of lean production (Value, Value Stream, Flow, Pull, Perfection); skillfully use tools such as Value Stream Mapping (VSM), ECRS Principles (Eliminate, Combine, Rearrange, Simplify), mistake-proofing, and motion improvement to identify process wastes.
• Master the 6σ methodology and PDCA cycle; able to conduct data analysis using tools like Minitab, and lead lean improvement projects to achieve goals such as Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) improvement and inventory reduction.
• Possess the ability to plan flexible production line layouts; able to optimize work processes in combination with ergonomic principles and promote the in-depth implementation of the 5S management system.

3. Systems & Tools

• Familiar with quality management systems such as ISO 9001; proficient in operating Office and ERP systems; proficiency in tools such as CAD/UG, MES, and Minitab is preferred.
