• Identify and resolve process deviations, equipment issues, and yield losses through root cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Collect, analyze, and report key process metrics (yield, Cpk, cycle time, downtime).
• Conduct process validation, capability studies, and equipment qualifications as required.
• Implement quick‑response improvements to address quality or production issues.
• Support Manufacturing and Quality Engineers during new product introductions and pilot builds.
• Train operators and technicians in process methods, setup, and equipment operation.

• BS in Manufacturing, Industrial, or Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• 2–5 years’ experience in electronics or precision assembly manufacturing.
• Hands‑on experience programming and maintaining SMT, AOI, SPI, and related equipment.
• Proficient with process troubleshooting, SPC, and root cause analysis.
• Knowledge of Lean principles and basic problem‑solving tools (5S, DMAIC, PDCA).
• Strong practical and communication skills for shop floor support.
