We're looking for a Senior Manager, Process Engineering to lead a team of process engineers driving process development, qualification, industrialization, and continuous improvement for our hardware products. You'll combine deep hands-on process expertise in miniature electronics assembly (gluing, fixturing, automation, process validation) with strong people leadership — setting team direction, coaching engineers, and representing manufacturing across cross-functional programs from NPI through mass production ramp.
What you will do
-
Lead, coach, and develop a team of process engineers — setting priorities, performance expectations, and development plans.
-
Define and drive the process engineering roadmap across new and sustaining programs, aligned with company and manufacturing readiness priorities.
-
Lead process development, validation, and design transfer from EVT/DVT through PVT and mass production ramp, through direct team leadership and factory engagement.
-
Drive Design for Manufacturability/Assembly with mechanical, electrical, product, quality, and operations teams to influence decisions early.
-
Lead complex troubleshooting, failure analysis, and corrective action (DOE, SPC, 8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa) across prototype, pilot, ramp, and sustaining production.
-
Own process engineering's contribution to NPI builds — readiness reviews, line preparation, issue escalation, and closure of action items.
-
Ensure successful factory ramp-up through readiness planning, process capability development, and issue recovery with internal teams and manufacturing partners.
-
Establish process capability and measurement discipline (Cp/Cpk, GR&R, MSA) and maintain core process documentation (PFMEAs, control plans, work instructions).
-
Drive yield improvement and operational efficiency by prioritizing high-impact issues and scaling solutions into robust standards.
-
Build strong relationships with global factory partners and suppliers, and communicate process readiness, risks, and tradeoffs to senior stakeholders.
What we would love to see
-
Strong people leadership experience — setting direction, delegating, developing talent, and holding a high bar for execution.
-
Proven consumer electronics manufacturing experience with miniature electronics assemblies (adhesives, mechanical assembly, flex/PCB, tooling, automation).
-
Deep hands-on expertise in process development, characterization, validation, and industrialization in high-volume manufacturing.
-
Strong track record in root-cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions and supporting NPI builds and ramp-up.
-
Ability to influence across engineering, operations, quality, and external manufacturing partners, converting data into practical priorities.
-
Clear written and verbal English communication; willingness to travel to development sites, factories, and suppliers.
Typical profile
-
Bachelor's or Master's degree in engineering or a related technical field.
-
Typically 8–12+ years in manufacturing/process engineering, including meaningful leadership of engineers or cross-functional technical teams.
