SUMMARY
The Manufacturing Process Control Engineeris responsible forowning defining and sustaining manufacturing processes to ensure consistent execution stability and quality across production. This role focuses on process discipline standardization and control using statistical process control (SPC) and data analysis as tools tomonitorperformance detect variation and drive corrective action.
This position is embedded directly on the SMT production floor and requires a continuous on-floor presence. The Manufacturing Process Control Engineer works alongside operators technicians Manufacturing Engineering Quality and Production teams on the line to establishclear process expectationsmaintaincontrol plans and reaction plans and ensure processes are followed understood and capable over time. This is a hands-on floor-based rolenot a desk-based or remote engineering position.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The essential functions of this position include but are not limited to the following:
Manufacturing Process Ownership
- Own and sustain defined manufacturing processes to ensure consistent execution across shifts and product lines
- Establish document andmaintainstandard work process flows and operating parameters
- Ensure processes are clearly defined understood and followed by production teams
- Regularlyobserveprocess execution on the production floor and address gaps in adherence or understanding
- Maintain a consistent presence on the SMT production line toobservereal-time process execution support operators andimmediatelyaddress process variation or non-conformance
Process Control & Stability
- Develop andmaintainprocess control plans and reaction plans for critical manufacturing processes
- Define key process parameters (KPPs) and critical-to-quality (CTQ) characteristics
- Use SPC and other monitoring methods to confirm process stability and capability
- Lead response and corrective action when processes deviate from defined expectations
SPC & Data-Driven Enforcement
- Implement and sustain SPC methodologies to support process control and early detection of variation
- Selectappropriate controlchart types and sampling approaches
- Analyze SPC data toidentifytrends special cause variation and opportunities for improvement
- Ensure SPC results drivetimelyaction not just reporting
Continuous Improvement & Problem Solving
- Lead and support root cause analysis related to process variation defects and escapes
- Drive process improvements focused on variation reduction yield improvement and defect prevention
- Support process validation qualification and change implementation
- Validate improvements through defined process metrics and data analysis
Cross-Functional & Floor Engagement
- Operate primarily from the SMT production floor partnering directly with operators technicians and supervisors rather than working from a traditional engineering office environment
- Provide hands-on coaching and training to operators and technicians on process discipline and control
- Support NPI process transfers and production ramp-ups byestablishingstable repeatable processes
- Communicate process risks gaps and improvement opportunities clearly to stakeholders
Quality & Compliance Support
- Ensure manufacturing processes and controls align with ISO AS IPC and customer requirements
- Support audits CAPA activities and customer issues related to process performance
- Maintainaccurateand controlled process documentation
QUALIFICATIONS
Required Qualifications
- Bachelors degree in Manufacturing Industrial Mechanical Electrical Engineering Statistics or a related technical field
- 4-6 years of experience in SPC process control quality engineering or manufacturing engineering
- Experience in a manufacturing environment
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in electronics manufacturing or regulated manufacturing environments preferred
Knowledge Skills and Abilities
- Advanced knowledge of statistical process control and process capability analysis
- Experience with SPC methodologies control charts and reaction planning
- Proficiencywith statistical analysis tools (e.g. Minitab Excel)
- Working knowledge of PFMEA control plans and process validation
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and manufacturing documentation
- Strong analytical problem-solving and communication skills
- Ability to work independently and influence cross-functional teams
Physical Demands
The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
