· Process Development & Optimization: Design scalable, repeatable manufacturing processes for electro mechanical enclosures, panel wiring, potting, and conformal coating. Develop routings, process flows, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
· NPI (New Product Introduction): Lead the transition of products from the prototyping phase (EVT/DVT/PVT) to full-scale mass production.
· Design for Manufacturing (DFM/DFA): Review BOMs, engineering drawings, and schematics early in the design cycle to prevent assembly bottlenecks and reduce production costs.
· Tooling & Fixture Design: Specify, design, and procure custom assembly jigs, test fixtures, and workstation layouts to optimize ergonomics and manufacturing Takt time.
· Quality Control & Root Cause Analysis: Utilize problem-solving methodologies (e.g., 8D, Ishikawa,Six sigma) to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve assembly defects. Track First Pass Yield (FPY) and implement error-proofing (Poka-Yoke).
· Compliance & Documentation: Ensure all builds meet strict industry standards such as IPC-A-610, ESD, and ISO 9001/IATF 16949 requirements
Requirements
Assembly Technologies: Expertise in wire harness routing,soldering, potting, and testing
Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Ability to evaluate CAD models and physical layouts so devices can be easily and cost-effectively assembled at mass scale.
Testing & Quality Assurance: Knowledge of End-of-Line (EOL) testers,Robotic Soldering and failure root-cause analysis (e.g., 5-Why, Ishikawa, 8D).
Process Documentation: Proficiency in defining Takt times, calculating cycle times, and writing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Software Tools: Familiarity with 2D/3D CAD tools (like AutoCAD, SolidWorks) and SAP
Benefits
Increased Production Yields: Engineers resolve bottlenecks, reducing component scrap and optimizing assembly cycles.
Defect Reduction & Rework: They use root-cause analysis to address failures early, ensuring compliance with UL, CE, and EMI/EMC standards.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Engineers provide feedback to simplify designs, lowering overall material and labor costs.
Scalability: They help transition new products smoothly from prototyping to full-scale mass production (NPI).
Turnkey Efficiency: They coordinate mechanical assembly, cable wiring, and functional testing into a single continuous workflow.
