About the role
Hands-on role managing line operations, ramp readiness, and engineering sustained excellence at contract manufacturing partner sites. Responsible for post-launch product manufacturing plans, line balancing, process/layout optimization, yield tracking, and labor efficiency improvements in a high-volume electronics environment.
Responsibilities
- Support CM factory bring-up and ramp execution. Participate in line bring-up, capacity planning, layout review, and material flow verification to ensure timely product delivery (ExF)
- Track daily CM production metrics, including output, labor allocation, line efficiency, and MES reporting. Identify operational risks early and escalate appropriately to meet operational targets
- Support Engineering Change Orders (ECO/PRQ) executions, line conversions, and equipment cross-qualification at CM facilities to ensure smooth implementation without impacting supply
- Audit FATP and SMT line layouts post-launch, driving cycle time (CT) reduction, bottleneck elimination, and labor optimization
- Drive Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) improvements, test cycle reduction, and retest rate minimization
- Maintain the functional yield bridge (FPY/LPY). Actively participate in Major Issue List (MIL) and technical issue forums (PIL/TIL), conducting deep-dive failure analysis and corrective actions (FACA) for process drift or yield drops
- Utilize data analysis tools (Python, JMP, Tableau) to build automated yield tracking dashboards, streamline daily reporting workflows, and speed up FACA root-cause identification
Qualifications
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in high-volume electronics manufacturing, specializing in manufacturing operations, sustaining process engineering, or hardware operations
- Solid technical understanding of FATP and SMT assembly/test processes, including yield analysis, cycle time reduction, and OEE optimization
- Hands-on experience with data analytics or scripting tools (Python, JMP, Tableau, or modern AI tools) for yield tracking, data visualization, and root-cause analysis
- Strong execution mindset with a proven ability to prioritize tasks, troubleshoot technical issues independently, and operate effectively in a fast-paced environment
- Effective communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate and hold CM partners and internal cross-functional teams accountable
- Ability to travel frequently across APAC and other global locations as needed
