In a team environment, is responsible for design, layout, and support of production processing of products in-house and at subcontracted production operations. Objectives include development of processes that support low, medium and high volume production with expected high levels of process quality. Works with both customers and suppliers to meet production quality, cost, and delivery demands. Creates and manages schedules for implementing production processing for new products. Develops associated Lean practices when planning and improving production process & flow. Implements ECOs into production lines as required. Develop and use process data to monitor and improve process outputs and first time yields. Drives producibility and quality into every aspect of the process. Develops tools/fixtures and other processing aids to manage production operations. Validates requirements, design, development, and the release of software to production work centers. Evaluates requirements for manufacturability, production ramp & rate, predicts process yields, reviews system designs, develops/modifies the production plan, creates test/inspection plans, provides technical oversight to these processes, and leads continuous improvement activities.
Responsibilities:
Day-to-day planning, set-up, maintenance, and continuous improvement of production processing as described above.
Personal schedule flexibility for responding to urgent production needs as they arise.
Development and maintenance of production process information for forward-leverage future process planning use.
Reporting of activities as required on a regular frequency.
Interface with suppliers on a technical and process level as required to correct problems and improve overall product/process quality.
Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:
Experience and track record of results developing and supporting low, medium and high volume production lines.
Demonstrated production engineering support of subcontracted operations is preferred.
Working knowledge of Lean initiatives/6 sigma and implementation in a production environment is important.
Experience in developing sampling plans for test and inspection for purchased and manufactured products.
Experience with Quality improvement tools in a team setting.
MS Office tools and MS Project experience is a must. Ability to use MS Visio is a plus.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Highly self-disciplined, detail and results oriented.
Must have flexible schedule and willingness to monitor and support all assigned production processing with comprehensive and quick response solutions.
Education and Experience Required:
Minimum of Bachelor of Science Degree in engineering field such as electrical engineering or test engineering with a minimum of seven to ten (7 - 10) years relevant production engineering experience and a track record of results.
Demonstrated record of component, sub-assembly and systems test development and support from DC - 26.5 GHz is essential.
Other requirements:
This position may require the successful candidate to be able to obtain a security clearance, and therefore, US citizenship is essential. A small amount of travel (10%) may be required to visit and monitor supplier operations.
