About the position
At Nextracker we develop cuttingedge technologies to optimize utility solar power plants transforming the way we utilize energy from the sun. Our commitment to quality and efficiency is paramount and we are seeking a talented Sr. Manufacturing Process Engineer to play a critical role in optimizing our production processes. In this role you will leverage your expertise in Lean Six Sigma methodologies to partner with internal and external stakeholders ensuring a smooth transition of new electronic products from development to highvolume production. You will work collaboratively across various departments including engineering sourcing quality and program management to analyze existing processes identify areas for improvement and implement datadriven solutions that enhance efficiency yield and overall product quality. Your key responsibilities will include collaborating with R&D teams to manage the transfer from prototype to mass production and partnering with external suppliers to document and analyze manufacturing processes for mechanical and motion control products. You will identify and implement critical to quality (CTQ) characteristics and create control plans to ensure product quality and consistency utilizing tools like Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Process Flow Mapping (PFMEA) to define potential failure modes and their impact on CTQs. Additionally you will analyze production data to evaluate yield and capacity identifying opportunities for process improvement using statistical process control (SPC) techniques. Implementing Lean Six Sigma methodologies will be a significant part of your role where you will optimize manufacturing processes reduce waste and improve efficiency through techniques such as Value Stream Mapping (VSM) Kanban systems PokaYoke methods and Design of Experiments (DOE). You will also develop and maintain process documentation conduct process audits and manage projects related to process optimization adhering to DMAIC (Define Measure Analyze Improve Control) methodology. Staying up to date on industry best practices and new technologies related to highvolume manufacturing including advancements in automation and AI process modeling will be essential to your success in this position.
