The position emphasizes improving product quality through the implementation of rigorous quality control processes and enhancements to the workstation design for cable manufacturing.

Responsibilities :

Wire Harness Manufacturing :

  • Design and establish workstations and production flows aligned with lean manufacturing principles (e.g., 5S, Visual Management, Kitting).
  • Update processes, work instructions, and Bill of Materials (BOMs) to integrate hardware and software changes.
  • Develop and implement inspection protocols to ensure high-quality products.
  • Determine and validate standard process times for operations to meet capacity targets and balance workflows.

Team Collaboration :

  • Build strong relationships with technicians to ensure smooth implementation of process changes in collaboration with the team.
  • Operational Improvements :

  • Complete projects to enhance operations, such as introducing automation, insourcing tasks, and deploying innovative tooling solutions.
  • Enable vertical integration by identifying opportunities to streamline production, reduce costs, and accelerate iteration cycles.
  • Support New Product Introduction (NPI) :

  • Participate in prototype builds and first articles, providing input on Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).
  • Address continuous improvement opportunities such as refining work instructions and troubleshooting assembly line issues promptly to achieve production goals.
  • Digital Factory Operations :

  • Ensure proper execution of workflows (e.g., work orders, inventory management, kitting) and lead process optimizations for virtual factory operations.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, or a related field).
  • 2-3+ years of experience in an engineering role, focused on supporting production activities, with a track record of increasing responsibilities.
  • Experience in New Product Introduction (NPI), particularly in scaling production capacity for new product launches.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills for cross-functional collaboration.
  • This job offers an opportunity to work on innovative technologies while implementing best practices to refine manufacturing systems and deliver quality products efficiently.
