Assembly Process Engineer

Job Summary

Serve as a technical expert in assembly processes, responsible for developing and optimizing assembly of complex components to meet quality, efficiency, and cost objectives. This role requires strong knowledge of error‑proofing methods, robotic automation, and bilingual communication skills (English/Mandarin) are preffered to reduce defects and support collaboration with global technical teams.

Key Responsibilities

1. Process Development

• Define and refine assembly parameters (e.g., torque, press force) through structured experiments to achieve high first‑pass yield.

• Optimize fixture and tooling designs using CAD/CAE tools to ensure stability, ergonomics, and repeatability.

1. Equipment & Automation

• Lead commissioning and integration of automated equipment and robotic systems, including vision inspection and servo‑controlled stations, to reach target equipment effectiveness.

• Validate new production equipment during trials and provide improvement feedback before full release.

1. Quality Control

• Apply statistical process control techniques and capability analysis to monitor key characteristics and maintain consistent quality.

• Lead structured root‑cause investigations and implement corrective and preventive actions.

1. New Project Support

• Provide design‑for‑manufacturability input, participate in risk analyses, and support product and process qualification for new programs.

1. Continuous Improvement

• Implement error‑proofing solutions such as sensors and interlocks and lead Lean or Six Sigma activities to improve yield and reduce waste.

1. Collaboration & Training

• Address customer and internal quality concerns with clear technical reports and action plans, and train shop‑floor teams on standardized work and procedures.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or a closely related engineering discipline.

• Experience: 3+ years in assembly process or manufacturing engineering; experience with high‑volume or electronics/module assembly is a plus.

• Certifications: Six Sigma Green Belt, IATF 16949 Auditor, PMP preferred.

• Skills:

Proficient with 3D CAD tools and data analysis/visualization software; capable of bilingual communication for global collaboration.

Strong knowledge of robotic automation, assembly tooling, and error‑proofing concepts.

• Attributes: Analytical, hands‑on problem solver who can thrive in fast‑paced, production‑driven environments.

Additional Information

• Willingness to support extended hours during trials, launches, or critical production events.

• Role involves work in a production environment with noise and fluids; appropriate safety and electrostatic‑protection equipment will be provided.

• Role‑specific training on customer standards and development systems will be available after hire.
