• Leading complex problem-solving efforts across sub-assembly and final assembly processes, defining where and how issues are resolved

• Driving DfX reviews and providing actionable design feedback to improve manufacturability, assembly, and serviceability

• Directing multi-disciplinary teams and external partners in developing robust manufacturing processes and solutions

• Establishing and guiding manufacturing strategies, including equipment selection, automation analysis, process development, and implementation

• Influencing product and process decisions to ensure critical-to-quality requirements are consistently achieved at scale

• Serving as a key member of the global Product Development Operations team, acting as a bridge between Mechanical Engineering and the manufacturing supply base

• Partnering closely with Product Development to embed Design for Excellence (DfX) principles early in product concepting and architecture

• Architecting complex assembly processes, including jigs and fixturing, to ensure precise alignment of design-critical components

• Developing and scaling efficient, repeatable assembly processes across global suppliers and contract manufacturers, with deep expertise in areas such as adhesives, plastic welding, and fastening

• Identifying and driving opportunities for automation and process optimization to improve efficiency, consistency, and cost

• Building and maintaining strong relationships with global suppliers, integrators, and manufacturing engineering teams to enable seamless product introduction and continuous innovation

• Leveraging deep manufacturing expertise to guide tolerance analysis and ensure robust assembly performance in high-volume production

• Ensuring developed processes achieve and sustain high yield, quality, and reliability in mass production

• Mentoring and developing other engineers in assembly process development and manufacturing best practices

• Communicating effectively across global, cross-functional teams to align on priorities, surface risks, and drive timely decisions

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Manufacturing or Mechanical Engineering

• 10+ years experience in manufacturing process development of high volume mechanical assemblies.

• Deep experience in DFX analysis, application and measurement with focus on assembly, manufacturability and service/repair.

• A keen eye for highly cosmetic components, tight tolerances and extensive mechanical requirements

• Proficient skills in adhesive dispensing & curing and ultrasonic-thermal-IR welding of thermoplastic parts.

• Proven ability with kinematic jig & fixture design. 

• Knowledge in machine controls, inspection vision systems, and part handling automation.

• Available to be office based and to travel within Asia, expected 15%

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional product engineering teams in assembly equipment development, PFMEA application and process qualification.

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of mechanical part level processing techniques (CNC drilling/machining, paint application and ink printing) is helpful.

• Deep experience in DOE, GD&T, STA and Six Sigma.

• Knowledge of DFMEA, PFMEA, Control Plans, SPC. 

• Experience in 3D CAD modeling, specifically Siemens NX is a plus.
