Quality Process Engineer

Quality Process Engineer

Summary

As a Process-Quality Engineer, you will be the backbone of efficient, high-quality production. You’ll develop and maintain process documentation, drive continuous improvement initiatives, and ensure products are made reliably, safely, and cost-effectively. You’ll work cross-functionally to support new product introductions, troubleshoot process issues, and implement lean manufacturing strategies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and document process routings and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for new and existing products
• Collaborate with design and production teams to ensure feasibility, manufacturability, mistake-proofing and accuracy of job setups and product assemblies
• Configure and maintain ERP system entries for parts, products and processes
• Analyze production cycles and optimize takt time based on customer demand and line balancing
• Monitor process efficiency, identify bottlenecks, and recommend throughput improvements for SMT, AOI, Wave Soldering, Coating and Final Assembly
• Lead creation and updates of Process Flows, Control Plans and PFMEAs (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) to establish manufacturing processes and identify risks and mitigation plans
• Facilitate cross-functional reviews for risk assessment and design-for-manufacturing initiatives
• Conduct routine audits for ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) control compliance and particle count environments
• Implement and monitor product contamination and cleanliness control protocols
• Collaborate with quality teams to close process audit gaps and ensure industry-standard practices
• Drive continuous improvement projects using Lean methodologies (Kaizen, 5S, Value Stream Mapping)
• Identify and eliminate waste in manufacturing processes to enhance productivity and cost efficiency
• Train operators and staff on lean principles and improvement techniques
• Investigate process failures, defects, and yield loss through root cause analysis (Fishbone, 5 Whys, etc.)
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop corrective action plans and verify effectiveness
• Define metrics and systems to measure First Pass Yield (FPY) , Poor Quality Cost and Scrap across production lines
• Communicate results and improvement strategies to stakeholders
• Evaluate manufacturing processes for cost, quality, and efficiency
• Implement automation, layout improvements, and process standardization initiatives
• Support new equipment specification, installation, and validation
• Support New Product Introduction (NPI) by validating manufacturing readiness and production capability including PPAP and FAI
• Collaborate with design and R&D teams to ensure smooth transition from prototype to mass production
• Maintain up-to-date documentation including work instructions, and training materials

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent
• 3+ years experience in process engineering within electronics manufacturing.
• Proficient in SMT/AOI manufacturing processes and Wave soldering technology, with practical production-floor experience
• Demonstrate leadership skills including the ability to analyze production data, coach, assess, evaluate, train, develop, motivate and empower others.
• Strong knowledge and experience in IPC Standards and Quality Management System (i.e. ISO 9001/13485/16949/14001)
• Experience working in an automotive, aerospace or medical production environment will be considered an asset.
• Proficient in process and quality tools: Control Plan, FMEA, SPC, MSA, CAPA, 8D, DFM/DFX, KPI, OEE, LEAN SIX SIGMA, 5S
• Good computer skills and familiarity with Microsoft Suite.
• Manual dexterity and ability to lift heavy objects.
• Ability to read and interpret production documentation, including schematics and Engineering drawings.
• Strong organizational and prioritizing capabilities with a high attention to detail.
• Strong expertise in analytical methods, quality systems and continuous improvement methods
