The Process Engineer II is responsible to ensure the manufacturing processes are efficient, cost effective, meet Micro's quality standards and yield products per customer specifications.
Process Improvement - Improves product quality by reducing process variability.
- Develops and optimizes continuous production and manufacturing processes to achieve the output, quality, and cost goals of the organization.
- Optimize production cycle time and equipment automation (including robotic programs) to maximize capacity, utilization and quality
- Support execution of transition processes and knowledge transfer from New Product Development to Production through qualification and stabilization processes
- leads continuous Improvement projects from concept development to execution, including conducting DOEs, performing Validations, executing Implementations, and developing metrics to monitor efficiencies
- Support lean manufacturing principal projects, such as 6 sigma, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), DMAIC, Kanban, and comply with Electronic Work Instruction (EWI) principal
- Develops improvements to current manufacturing methods and processes.
- Recommends changes or upgrades to equipment, work methods, or other aspects of the process to improve efficiency and utilization of resources including labor, energy and raw materials.
- Reads blueprints and aligns manufacturing Processes to drive improvements and troubleshoots difficult and complicated issues effectively.
- Reduces product waste improving the utilization of capital equipment, cost of quality and optimizing productivity.
- Ensures that sampling plans are reviewed upon changes to the product, process or project.
- Provides engineering support in determining root cause and works with Quality Engineers to develop appropriate corrective actions.
- Provides input to the production systems and designs control activities.
- Provides input for new product equipment selection, installation and maintenance
- Maintains subject matter expertise in specific area(s) and understands complex automated machine operations.
- Supports the development of tooling and processes
- Leads projects, teams and complex product transitions. Provides mentorship and support to team members.
Process Analysis & Documentation - Responsible for production KPI management (i.e. scrap rate, SPC score, equipment downtime and uptime, product cycle time, machine utilization.
- Develop and control Working Standard: Product Structure and Routes, Working Instruction, Procedures, Training Matrix/Modules
- Lead required process qualification planning and executions
- Act as a SME conducting RCAs, focusing on customer quality and delivery demand, apply problem solving and process improvement, and increase customer satisfaction
- Collects production data and applies standard scientific and statistical methods to analyze, document, and diagram production processes. Conducts FMEA, DOE, and SPC analysis
- Use appropriate statistical techniques to analyze data and make/ recommend decisions
- Performs complex data analysis and uses six sigma tools to resolve complex process issues.
- Writes detailed work instruction-level documents for manufacturing operations and related areas. Trains personnel in these instructions and other technical process controls (quality engineer)
- Develops and documents process operational standards, including identification and deployment of statistical process control opportunities.
- Develops all aspects of product and process to improve functionality and launch new products
- Effectively communicates and cooperates with others outside of department boundaries to influence success.
- Accurately documents and records necessary data and reports to describe scope of work for sustaining and continuous improvement initiatives. (quality engineer)
- Resolves problems and anticipates evolutionary changes in customer requirements and provides corresponding changes in process capability.
- Provides equipment design and specifications, including project justification documentation for cost and quality impact.
- Quarantines, documents and evaluates products and materials and generates Material Review Board (MRB) Case(s) as appropriate.
