Manufacturing Process Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Position SummaryThe Manufacturing Process Engineer is responsible for developing, maintaining, and improving manufacturing processes that support safe, efficient, repeatable, and high-quality production. This position owns manufacturing BOM structures and routings in SAP, supports engineering changes and new product introduction, and ensures product and process information is accurately translated into executable manufacturing requirements.
The role works closely with Engineering/R&D, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain to resolve manufacturing issues, improve cycle time and yield, reduce scrap, and ensure production processes, work instructions, fixtures, line layouts, testing, and calibration requirements support operational performance.Key Responsibilities

• Own and maintain manufacturing BOM structures and routings in SAP, including material numbers, configuration control, and manufacturing-related master data.
• Support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) by assessing manufacturing impact, implementing approved changes in SAP, and coordinating effective rollout to the production floor.
• Develop, document, and continuously improve manufacturing processes, work instructions, fixtures, tooling, and line layouts for assembly, soldering, testing, and related operations.
• Partner with Engineering/R&D during new product introduction to translate product designs into manufacturable BOMs, routings, processes, and production requirements.
• Support production readiness for new products, engineering changes, and process changes by ensuring documentation, tooling, materials, and manufacturing requirements are established before implementation.
• Troubleshoot BOM, routing, configuration, process, testing, and calibration issues that affect production execution, product quality, costing, or planning accuracy.
• Provide technical support to Production and Quality when manufacturing problems, recurring defects, equipment concerns, or process deviations occur.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on cycle time, productivity, first-pass yield, scrap reduction, process stability, and manufacturing efficiency.
• Analyze manufacturing data and production issues to identify root causes and implement sustainable corrective and preventive process improvements.
• Support the development and optimization of testing and calibration processes for electronic products and manufacturing equipment.
• Ensure manufacturing processes and documentation remain current, controlled, repeatable, and aligned with applicable quality and safety requirements.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Engineering to improve manufacturability, resolve operational constraints, and support production objectives.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field preferred.
• Experience in manufacturing engineering, process engineering, electronics manufacturing, or a related production environment.
• Working knowledge of BOMs, routings, engineering changes, configuration control, and manufacturing documentation.
• Electronics background with experience supporting testing and calibration processes.
• Ability to develop and improve manufacturing processes, work instructions, fixtures, tooling, and production layouts.
• Strong troubleshooting, root cause analysis, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work effectively with Engineering, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain teams in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Strong attention to detail with effective written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in electronics or automotive-related manufacturing.
• Hands-on experience with electronic product testing, calibration, soldering, assembly, or repair processes.
• Experience with ERP/MRP systems, including SAP BOM and routing management.
• Experience supporting new product introduction and Engineering Change Order implementation.
• Experience with Lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, yield improvement, and scrap reduction.
