Role Overview

As a Manufacturing Engineer, your core mission is to bridge the gap between innovation and execution, ensuring a seamless product lifecycle from concept to delivery. You will drive product excellence through early engagement, Design for Excellence (DFx) feasibility reviews, and vendor capability assessments to ensure factory readiness and high-quality production outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Product & Process Development

  • Lead DFx reviews and generate DFM reports during concept readiness to eliminate design risks before design freeze.
  • Validate production readiness using Run-at-Rate validation, line balancing, and takt vs. cycle time analysis.
  • Develop process flow diagrams, manufacturing strategies, and material presentation plans to optimize factory logistics.

Quality & Risk Management

  • Lead PFMEA activities with risk reduction targets and implement mitigation plans.
  • Conduct Pareto analysis, root cause analysis (8D), and corrective actions for manufacturing issues.
  • Review process capability reports (Cpk > 1.33), control plans, and Gage R&R during pilot production.

Supplier & Factory Readiness

  • Execute vendor capability assessments and factory readiness gap analysis.
  • Manage supplier technical evaluations and ensure compliance with quality standards.
  • Support engineering change orders (ECOs) and re-validation of tooling and fixtures.

Manufacturing Optimization

  • Validate test strategies, tooling, and fixture designs with engineering teams.
  • Ensure smooth integration of electromechanical assemblies, cooling systems, and networking hardware into production.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives using Lean and Six Sigma methodologies.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.
  • 8+ years of manufacturing engineering experience in data center equipment, electronics, or automotive production environments.
  • Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes, tooling, and production systems.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Six Sigma Black Belt / Lean Manufacturing certification.
  • Experience with supplier qualification and relationship management.
  • Knowledge of data center infrastructure standards and cooling technologies.
  • Experience with engineering design and analysis tools.
  • Ability to lead complex projects and mentor junior engineers.
  • Strong data analysis skills to identify defects and improve performance metrics.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Experience in data center hardware manufacturing, server racks, cooling systems, or electromechanical assemblies.
  • Proven track record in scaling production from prototype to mass manufacturing.
  • Strong leadership, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
