Manufacturing System Engineer

Responsibilities

About the Role

Drive resolution of existing manufacturing gaps and strengthen production stability by improving system, process, and operational effectiveness. Actively partner with NPI/NTI teams to identify and mitigate manufacturing ramp risks, with strong focus on Safety, Quality, and Process Control in alignment with Automotive IATF requirements, ensuring a robust and reliable transition to high-volume manufacturing (HVM).

1. Manufacturing HVM Enablement & Customer Readiness

• Own and drive resolution of existing manufacturing gaps across operations, MES, DM/IDM systems to ensure stable and controlled production execution with minimal disruption
• Act as the central integration and escalation lead across Production, Equipment Engineering, and IT/MES to enable structured problem resolution and sustained system robustness
• Partner with NPI / NTI teams from early stage to:
• Identify and mitigate manufacturing ramp risks
• Ensure readiness aligned to Safety, Quality, and Process Control requirements
• Drive compliance with Automotive IATF standards prior to HVM
• Ensure controlled and risk-free transition to High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) by embedding robust process, system, and operational controls
• Drive product and process knowledge capability across manufacturing teams to strengthen execution discipline and reduce ramp-related risks

2. Quality & Operational Excellence

• Own and lead Quality and Operational Excellence across manufacturing, ensuring full compliance with IATF 16949 and customer requirements, and always maintaining audit-ready operations
• Own and execute independent audit framework, ensuring:
• Adherence to defined processes and standards
• Timely and sustainable closure of identified gaps
• Lead and own reduction of human-induced defects and excursions:
• Establish structured improvement programs targeting operator-driven variability
• Drive data-driven corrective and preventive actions
• Own customer audit readiness and response, ensuring:
• Strong demonstration of process control, discipline, and compliance
• Continuous improvement aligned with customer expectations
• Own and deploy Operational FMEA, ensuring:
• Systematic identification and mitigation of operational risks
• Full integration of FMEA outputs into production execution, controls, and MES workflows
• Own ESD Compliance at production floor.

Essential Attributes

• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams.
• Knowledge of MES and manufacturing systems integration.
• Strong focus on quality and continuous improvement.
• Experience in Integration of manufacturing systems or production engineering.

Qualifications

Bachelors/masters in engineering (Mechanical, Electronics, Manufacturing or related).

Desired Experience Level

510+ years experience in semiconductor/OSAT/electronics manufacturing.
