What you will do

• Own process development workstreams for new product introduction from feasibility and process definition through characterization, validation, transfer, and production ramp.
• Develop high-volume manufacturing and assembly processes involving adhesive and epoxy bonding, laser drilling and dicing, component singulation, automated pick-and-place, wire bonding, and consumable cartridge assembly.
• Translate product requirements and critical-to-quality characteristics into process requirements, control strategies, acceptance criteria, and manufacturing specifications.
• Plan and analyze design of experiments to establish process windows and improve yield, quality, reliability, and cycle time.
• Support the selection, development, qualification, and transfer of equipment, tooling, materials, automation, inspection, and metrology methods.
• Lead root-cause analysis, corrective actions, technical documentation, change control, risk management, supplier collaboration, and production troubleshooting.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, manufacturing, materials, electrical, bioengineering, biomedical engineering, or a related technical field.
• At least two years of relevant industry experience in manufacturing process development, new product introduction, process characterization, production support, scale-up, transfer, improvement, qualification, or validation.
• Hands-on experience with at least one relevant process area, such as precision assembly, adhesive or epoxy bonding, laser micromachining, dicing, singulation, automated pick-and-place, wire bonding, or consumable assembly.
• Working knowledge of statistical methods, design of experiments, statistical process control, process capability, and measurement system analysis.
• Ability to troubleshoot process interactions, analyze data, document conclusions, and implement practical manufacturing solutions.
