Responsibilities
The ideal candidate will utilize previous experience using and maintaining laser based (semi-autonomous) optical systems, providing technical support to technician level end users of software and hardware, maintaining engineering controls on manufacturing components, and knowledge of effective revision and lot controls applied to physical inventory management.
The Manufacturing Engineer will also be the primary owner of technical processes in multiple departments. A significant part of this role involves supporting custom internal software applications. The candidate must be familiar with ERP/MRP systems and how they are used to promote lean manufacturing. This experience must couple with a pragmatic understanding of analyzing the manufacturing process with a data driven approach.
Key responsibilities include:
1) Provide internal software application and hardware support to manufacturing functions
· Support automated laser based optical data acquisition systems.
· Report software bugs and enhancements to R&D in combination withproviding feedback to the manufacturing user community.
· Recommend and execute on preventative and corrective action plans.
2) Play a key role in manufacturing technology implementations
· Represent Operations needs when working with the R&D and QA teams on select projects.
· Provide end user input to the design and testing of new products to minimize manufacturing cycle times and to maximize usability as well as operational reliability.
· Provide the technical aptitude for the knowledge transfer from R&D to Operations and continuing support for the products.
· Work with the development and SQA teams on release expectations, documentation, and communications.
· Create and manage documentation appropriate for self-sustaining processes.
3) Execute on manufacturing process improvements
· Identify, propose, and execute on manufacturing improvements such as
usability of software applications or equipment, and alternative or creative processes to maximize throughput, optimize capacity, increase yields while minimizing costs.
· Measure the efficacy of these changes in the manufacturing
functions; on occasion using SQL tools for ad-hoc reporting.
4) Develop and maintain engineering documentation
· Execute on ECO's related to manufacturing components, processes and information.
· Optimize the use of MRP functions to electronically streamline, manage, and track the effectiveness of such changes.
5) Own all customer supplied and inventoried material management processes from inbound inspections and lot controls to storage management.
Requirements
· 2 - 5 years experience in a high throughput manufacturing environment with experience in electro-optics
· Excellent verbal and written communication in English
· Knowledge and experience with automation systems and how they operate
· Experience working with ISO9001 or related relevant standards
· Experience using effective manufacturing process controls or statistical process control
· Proven ability to concurrently work on multiple projects with diverse teams
