  • Technical Consulting: Provide business process and technical expertise on complex programs, interfacing between Test Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, and external vendors.
  • Risk Mitigation: Develop and implement risk strategies across mechanical design, electrical integration, software systems, and automation processes.
  • Technical Translation: Convert complex customer technical requirements into actionable inputs for the NPI and Operations teams.
  • Manufacturing Alignment: Ensure all product development is optimized for current manufacturing capabilities and process requirements (DFM).
  • Executive Reporting: Analyze program health and present detailed risk evaluations and progress reports to corporate leadership.
  • Change Management: Manage Engineering Change Requests (ECR) in strict compliance with customer specifications and regulatory mandates.
  • Compliance: Maintain and implement operational practices in accordance with Quality Management System (QMS) and Environmental Management System (EMS) standards.
What We’re Looking For

  • Experience: 8–10 years of engineering or project management experience within an Electronic, Semiconductor, or EMS manufacturing environment.
  • Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of product assembly processes, quality reliability standards, and end-product applications in the electronics industry.
  • Core Competencies: Proven experience in New Product Introduction (NPI), Program Management, or Production Engineering.
  • Specialized Expertise: Hands-on experience with Box Build, High-Level Assembly (HLA), and PCBA is required.
  • Tools & Methodologies: Familiarity with BOM, RFQ, FMEA, Control Plans, and Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a significant advantage.
  • Soft Skills: Exceptional problem-solving and troubleshooting skills with the ability to navigate complex organizational issues.
