Process Engineer 2

JOB TITLE: Process Engineer
FLSA: Exempt position
REPORT TO: Process Engineer Manager

Job Summary:
Process Engineers develop and maintain efficient, scalable, and cost-effective processes to ensure new
products meet customer and headquarters standards. The Process Engineer operates with a
high degree of independence, taking ownership of process development, validation, and improvement
activities. This role leads process documentation, coordinates pilot runs, troubleshoots production
issues, and drives yield and quality improvements. In addition, the Process Engineer supports the
professional growth of entry-level engineers by providing coaching, technical guidance, and knowledge
sharing.

The Process Engineering team plays a critical role in bringing new products into manufacturing and
ensuring they can be built efficiently and at scale. Process Engineers develop process flows, define
equipment and manpower requirements, and coordinate with cross-functional teams to establish new
production lines based on customer and headquarters specifications. They validate tools and materials,
lead pilot runs, train production leaders, and continuously monitor yield, quality, and performance to
refine processes and support smooth mass production.

Duties/Responsibilities:
• Develop and maintain Customer Requirement Documents (CRDs) covering required hardware,
firmware, labels, and tools.
• Define assembly sequences, workstation layouts, and cycle time estimates with minimal
supervision.
• Evaluate manpower, space, and equipment needs; coordinate with HR, Facility, and Operations
teams to implement solutions.
• Lead validation of incoming tools, devices, and equipment, ensuring readiness for production.
• Plan and oversee pilot production runs, including documentation, data collection, and training.
• Conduct routine and special audits of assembly processes to ensure compliance with SOPs, safety,
and specifications.
• Analyze yield and failure data, perform root cause investigations, and implement corrective and
preventive actions (CAPA).
• Own and update tool/jig lists, manage repair/return processes, and ensure spare parts availability.
• Promote safety and compliance by enforcing adherence to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) and
OSHA standards.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with PM, RD, Production, and Quality teams to ensure readiness
and timely issue resolution.
• Develop and maintain SOPs, CRDs, BOMs (Bill of Materials), and process flow documentation.
• Prepare detailed reports on tooling, yield, or process performance for management and
headquarters review.
• Coach and mentor entry-level engineers, providing training, feedback, and guidance on technical
and professional development.

Required Skills/Abilities: (Example of skills set)
• 3–5 years of relevant experience in process, manufacturing, or industrial engineering.
• Solid knowledge of manufacturing processes, equipment, and assembly methods.
• Proficiency in analyzing process data and applying tools such as SPC (Statistical Process Control),
root cause analysis, and Lean methodologies.
• Ability to independently troubleshoot production issues and implement corrective actions.
• Strong project management skills with ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities.
• Effective leadership and communication skills; ability to coach and mentor junior engineers.
• Detail-oriented mindset with commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
• Adaptability in a fast-paced production environment with cross-functional collaboration.

Education and Experience:
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing Engineering, or related discipline (or
equivalent education/experience).
• 3-5 years of relevant process or manufacturing engineering experience.
Physical Requirements: (Example of requirement)
? Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
? Ability to access and navigate various departments within the organization’s facilities.
