- Analyze manufacturing and test data (yield trends, paretos, Cpk) to identify improvement opportunities and drive corrective actions
- Troubleshoot complex issues across optical, electro-mechanical, and system-level builds and tests
- Partner cross-functionally with Design, Quality, and Production to resolve issues and improve product robustness
- Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation (work instructions, standard work, control plans, BOMs)
- Execute change management activities (COs, TDNs) to ensure controlled process updates
- Identify and implement improvements to yield, cycle time, cost, and equipment performance using Lean principles
- Support equipment qualification, tooling improvements, and production readiness activities
- Provide hands-on support on the production floor and in cleanroom environments
- Train and support technicians and production staff on processes and best practices
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial, or related Engineering field
