Manufacturing System Engineer

Responsibilities
About the Role
Drive resolution of existing manufacturing gaps and strengthen production stability by improving system, process, and operational effectiveness. Actively partner with NPI/NTI teams to identify and mitigate manufacturing ramp risks, with strong focus on Safety, Quality, and Process Control in alignment with Automotive IATF requirements, ensuring a robust and reliable transition to high-volume manufacturing (HVM).

1. Manufacturing HVM Enablement & Customer Readiness
Own and drive resolution of existing manufacturing gaps across operations, MES, DM/IDM systems to ensure stable and controlled production execution with minimal disruption
Act as the central integration and escalation lead across Production, Equipment Engineering, and IT/MES to enable structured problem resolution and sustained system robustness
Partner with NPI / NTI teams from early stage to:
Identify and mitigate manufacturing ramp risks
Ensure readiness aligned to Safety, Quality, and Process Control requirements
Drive compliance with Automotive IATF standards prior to HVM
Ensure controlled and risk-free transition to High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) by embedding robust process, system, and operational controls
Drive product and process knowledge capability across manufacturing teams to strengthen execution discipline and reduce ramp-related risks
2. Quality & Operational Excellence
Own and lead Quality and Operational Excellence across manufacturing, ensuring full compliance with IATF 16949 and customer requirements, and always maintaining audit-ready operations
Own and execute independent audit framework, ensuring:
Adherence to defined processes and standards
Timely and sustainable closure of identified gaps
Lead and own reduction of human-induced defects and excursions:
Establish structured improvement programs targeting operator-driven variability
Drive data-driven corrective and preventive actions
Own customer audit readiness and response, ensuring:
Strong demonstration of process control, discipline, and compliance
Continuous improvement aligned with customer expectations
Own and deploy Operational FMEA, ensuring:
Systematic identification and mitigation of operational risks
Full integration of FMEA outputs into production execution, controls, and MES workflows
Own ESD Compliance at production floor.
