New Product Launch Support: Lead the manufacturing engineering efforts for Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and production launch readiness, ensuring assembly lines are fully validated, capable, and safely commissioned on schedule.
Automation & Troubleshooting: Provide advanced technical support for plant automation, including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), vision inspection systems, sensors, robotics, and complex assembly jigs.
Documentation & Compliance: Author and maintain comprehensive engineering documentation, including Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), Process Flow Diagrams, Control Plans, and Standard Work Instructions (SWI) in compliance with IATF 16949 standards.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Mentor junior engineers and technicians, and collaborate closely with Quality, Production, and Maintenance teams to systematically resolve chronic manufacturing and scrap issues.

Job Requirements

Work Experience:

Minimum of 5-7 years of progressive engineering experience in a manufacturing environment, with a strict preference for a Tier-1 automotive manufacturing facility.
Proven track record of successfully launching new automotive programs, equipment commissioning, and assembly cell integration.
Extensive hands-on experience troubleshooting automated production lines, pneumatic systems, and vision verification equipment.

Education
Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a closely related technical field.

Knowledge, skills and abilities

Technical Proficiency: Deep understanding of Lean Manufacturing principles (Kaizen, 5S, Value Stream Mapping) and core automotive quality tools (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC).
Automation Skills: Strong ability to diagnose and debug PLC logic (e.g., Allen-Bradley, Siemens) and integrate automated inspection or robotic systems into manual or semi-automated lines.
Problem-Solving: Expert command of root-cause analysis methodologies such as 8D, 5-Why, and Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagrams to resolve complex technical assembly challenges.
Communication & Collaboration: Excellent verbal and written communication skills to effectively translate complex technical data to shop floor operators, plant leadership, and external automotive clients.
