  • Familiarity with manufacturing execution systems, document control, and basic engineering analysis tools.
  • Experience using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, torque tools, vacuum gauges, and metrology instruments.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft 365 applications including Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook; basic data analysis capability.
  • Strong follow-up discipline and stakeholder engagement, with proficiency in English communication.
  • Strong shop-floor presence and the ability to train technicians effectively.
  • High attention to detail, accuracy, compliance, and organizational rigor.
  • Ability to work independently, manage multiple tasks, and maintain accountability in fast-paced environments.
  • Problem-solving mindset with a structured, data-driven approach.
  • Ability to guide or support team initiatives where required.
  • Ownership mindset with measurable delivery of key performance indicator and continuous improvement outcomes.
  • Able to work primarily in production/operation areas while following safety, environmental health and safety, cleanroom, and personal protective equipment requirements.
  • Able to perform extended computer or document review, standing/walking, and occasional lifting up to 20 kg with aids.
  • May need to extend working hours or support non-working days for critical business needs.
  • May need to travel locally or internationally based on operational requirements.

Responsibilities

  • Provide first-response support on the manufacturing line by triaging issues, troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, or basic software problems, restoring workflow, and escalating issues as needed.
  • Assemble, integrate, bring up, calibrate, and functionally test complex electromechanical systems, including vacuum and robotics systems, sensors, and subassemblies.
  • Perform corrective and preventive maintenance on production fixtures and testers; manage golden units, test utilities, and station version control.
  • Lead containment for non-conformances through segregation, tagging, and immediate actions; support material review board/nonconformance management with data, photographs, repair, and rework according to approved instructions.
  • Conduct basic failure analysis, provide manufacturing feedback for yield and defect reduction, and complete build/test records with full traceability.
  • Support manufacturing engineer performance against key performance indicators and escalate when targets are at risk.
  • Prepare line readiness by validating tooling, jigs, and fixtures; ensuring workcell 5S and electrostatic discharge readiness; and deploying visual controls and standardized work.
  • Support prototype and pilot builds and first-article activities; capture issues, validate test coverage, and provide manufacturability input to the manufacturing engineer.
  • Assist engineering and manufacturing change implementation, including effectivity checks and Oracle Work Definition, bill of materials, and routing updates; execute within approved scope and verify build/test documentation.
  • Monitor statistical process control, process capability indices, first-pass yield, rework, and defect trends; take immediate containment actions and recommend preventive or corrective improvements to the manufacturing engineer.
  • Support the definition, updating, and enforcement of in-process and final inspection/test methods, and ensure complete and accurate device history and build records for every unit.
  • Own routine preventive maintenance schedules for production fixtures and testers through a computerized maintenance management system where applicable, including spare-parts minimum/maximum levels and service requests.
  • Coordinate test and measurement equipment calibration, including recall scheduling, as-found/as-left record keeping, out-of-tolerance impact checks with Quality Engineering/manufacturing engineering, and timely completion.
  • Assist equipment qualification and tool moves/installation, including installation/operational qualification support, safety checks, and basic site acceptance testing support.
  • Maintain controlled standard work instructions, quality alerts, job aids, traveler documents, quality reports, checklists, and drawing references in product lifecycle management systems, and work definitions in Oracle, within the role's scope.
  • Redline and submit changes for approval, implement released revisions, and ensure point-of-use documentation is current.
  • Train and certify technicians on processes, equipment, and environmental health and safety; maintain the skills matrix and manage recertification cadence.
  • Identify and support continuous improvement efforts involving workflow, layout, line balance, takt alignment, single-minute exchange of die, work in progress, overall equipment effectiveness, and equipment utilization.
  • Apply lean tools including mistake-proofing, visual controls, standardized work, 5S and safety practices; drive waste reduction and material recovery/reuse.
  • Support digitalization and automation, including workflow simplification, dashboards, and system implementation; participate in benchmarking best practices and support process failure mode and effects analysis updates and process-capability growth.
  • Comply with company policies, code of conduct, ethical standards, applicable laws and regulations, quality management system, environmental health and safety, data and intellectual property protection, workplace protocols, and corporate, regulatory, and customer requirements.
  • Enforce quality management system and environmental health and safety practices, including cleanroom, electrostatic discharge, lockout/tagout, and chemical handling; perform 5S, electrostatic discharge, and safety audits and ensure timely closure of findings.
  • Support internal and external audits by providing accurate documentation and evidence and ensuring audit observations are closed on time.
  • Perform other duties within the role's scope or with potential expansion based on business needs.
  • Provide consistent regular updates and maintain a professional meeting cadence with management.
  • Participate and contribute to department, operational, project team, and review meetings and other purpose-driven meetings.

Desired Qualifications

  • Minitab experience is an advantage.
  • Familiarity with computerized maintenance management systems for preventive maintenance tracking, where applicable.
  • Familiarity with dashboards and reporting.
