  • Define assembly sequences, workstation setup, and cycle time estimates.
  • Estimate manpower, space, and equipment needs, coordinating with HR and Facility teams.
  • Validate incoming tools, devices, and equipment for functionality before production use.
  • Support pilot production runs by preparing documentation, collecting data, and training materials.
  • Conduct daily audits of assembly processes to ensure compliance with SOPs and specifications.
  • Gather and analyze yield and failure data, propose corrective actions, and escalate issues as needed.
  • Maintain tool and jig lists, support repair/return processes, and track spare part requirements.
  • Contribute to safety and compliance efforts by identifying unsafe practices and supporting ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and OSHA standards.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (PM, RD, Production, Quality) to ensure process readiness.
  • Develop and maintain SOPs, CRDs, BOMs (Bill of Materials), and process flow documentation.
  • Prepare reports on tooling issues, yield analysis, or corrective actions.

Required Skills/Abilities: (Example of skills set)

  • 0–3 years of relevant experience in process, manufacturing, or industrial engineering.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes, equipment, and assembly methods.
  • Ability to collect, analyze, and interpret process or yield data with basic tools (Excel or similar).
  • Familiarity with data analysis, statistical process control (SPC), and root cause analysis methodologies.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to follow structured procedures independently.
  • Effective communication and teamwork skills, with openness to feedback.
  • Problem-solving mindset with ability to address standard issues and escalate complex ones.
  • Adaptability to a fast-paced production environment and willingness to learn new tools/standards quickly.
