- Ability to define manufacturing process, including layout and concepts
- Introduce New Product (NPI) to a line and help problem solve and trouble shoot
- Demonstrate the ability to review labor quotes versus actual times, and implement process improvements where opportunities arise
- Ability to review Engineering Change Orders (ECO) and provide feedback on labor impact of change
- Proficient understanding of manufacturing process controls and the statistical applications associated
- Assists with Manufacturing Readiness Reviews (MRR's)
- Advanced knowledge of Plexus Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Guidelines
- Ability to apply DFM principles to perform analysis of new and existing customer, as well as internal assembly designs, and submit modification recommendations to the appropriate customer
- Proactively questions specific technical requests from the customer, ensuring feasibility and ultimate mutual success
- Makes recommendations as to what formation (e.g. take-n-reel vs bulk, etc) to review raw material in, to optimize the manufacturing process
- Able to determine facility requirements (floor space, utilities, ancillary equipment, etc) for new processes or equipment, adhering to safety and ergonomic practices
- Cognizant to low test yields, and able to determine root causes of manufacturing-related defects
- Able to take a supporting role in Process Validation activities, per SOP 37, as required
- Participates on customer support teams, representing manufacturing and engineering
- Experience with validation
- Minimal travel may be required to meet the needs of the business (estimated <10%)
