Introduction to the JobAs a Senior Manufacturing Engineer, you will drive process development, optimization, and sustainment in a high-tech manufacturing environment, ensuring stable, capable, and cost-efficient processes from early design through volume production.
This posting includes three positions, each supporting a specific manufacturing area:
New Product Introduction (NPI),
Top-Level System Integration, and
Optics. Final assignment will be based on the candidate's experience and alignment with business needs.
Role and Responsibilities- Own and sustain manufacturing processes to ensure quality, yield, and throughput performance
- Lead process development and NPI activities, including manufacturing readiness, pilot builds, and transition to volume production
- Translate product and design requirements into robust manufacturing processes, documentation, and control plans
- Apply structured problem-solving methods (SPC, DOE, FMEA, root cause analysis) to improve process capability and reduce variation
- Analyze manufacturing and test data (yield trends, paretos, Cpk) to identify improvement opportunities and drive corrective actions
- Troubleshoot complex issues across optical, electro-mechanical, and system-level builds and tests
- Partner cross-functionally with Design, Quality, and Production to resolve issues and improve product robustness
- Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation (work instructions, standard work, control plans, BOMs)
- Execute change management activities (COs, TDNs) to ensure controlled process updates
- Identify and implement improvements to yield, cycle time, cost, and equipment performance using Lean principles
- Support equipment qualification, tooling improvements, and production readiness activities
- Provide hands-on support on the production floor and in cleanroom environments
- Train and support technicians and production staff on processes and best practices
