• Participate in early-stage product development to assess equipment requirements, process flows, and parameters; drive R&D-manufacturing alignment through DFM to shorten the NPI cycle.
• Identify potential risks in new process development, establish a tiered risk control mechanism, and drive closed-loop solutions.

• Drive lean manufacturing initiatives to improve production efficiency, reduce costs, and mitigate quality risks.
• Increase automation levels to ensure high process consistency and reliability, achieving cost reduction and operational efficiency.
• Lead and implement continuous improvement projects to deliver measurable results.
• Collaborate effectively with Quality, R&D, and Project teams to resolve critical technical issues.
• Apply engineering methodologies (e.g., SPC, DOE, FMEA) to analyze production anomalies and develop sustainable corrective actions.
• Execute TRN/ECN/PCN change notifications in a timely and compliant manner.

• Manage secondary development of the Manufacturing Execution System (MES), and leverage production data for analysis and decision-making.
• Develop standardized process documentation, including PFMEA, process flow charts, SOPs, and control plans.
• Ensure all team outputs follow industry-standard engineering practices and workflows.

• Lead and manage a high-potential manufacturing engineering team, fostering a culture of technical excellence and results-driven execution. Define clear individual and team goals with measurable KPIs.
• Build a robust talent pipeline through internal development and strategic hiring to enhance overall team capability.
• Conduct regular technical review meetings to align on process development plans and drive task execution to completion.

You might be a strong candidate if you have
