Manufacturing Process Engineer

About the Role

At Foreseeson Technology, we are redefining what modern electronics manufacturing looks like. We are seeking a Manufacturing Engineer who is a blend of a traditional process expert and a future-forward technologist. You won't just maintain the status quo; you will be the driving force behind our Lean Six Sigma journey and our transition into Industry 4.0.

The ideal candidate thrives on the factory floor, understands the nuances of SMT production, and is equally comfortable diving into data to identify efficiency gaps. You will play a pivotal role in integrating AI and Robotic Automation into our production lines to ensure Foreseeson remains a leader in operational excellence.

Core Accountabilities and Responsibilities

• Production Excellence: Establish and maintain best practices for SMT production, soldering operations, and general assembly processes.
• Process Optimization: Drive production flow improvements and ensure all equipment maintenance is executed with precision and timeliness.
• Operational Analysis: Perform rigorous efficiency studies, including Value Stream Mapping (VSM), time-motion studies, and the monitoring of OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) trends.
• Statistical Control: Apply statistical methods to monitor process stability, focusing on Cp and Cpk metrics to ensure manufacturing consistency.
• Advanced Problem Solving: Lead in-depth root cause analysis for quality issues using Design-of-Experiment (DOE) and Ishikawa (Fishbone) diagrams, collaborating closely with Quality and Process Engineering.
• Automation & Robotics: Lead the exploration and testing of emerging robotic technologies, including Collaborative Robots (Cobots) and Humanoid Robots, to enhance production capabilities.
• AI Integration: Design and implement processes to onboard new AI-driven technologies into the manufacturing environment.
• Other assigned tasks/ projects from time to time

Technical and Analytical requirements

• KPI Management: Develop and maintain critical operational metrics to support manufacturing, planning, and quality functions.
• Data Visualization: Create and manage real-time visual dashboards using Power BI and Excel to provide instant insight into production performance.
• Strategic Reporting: Partner with cross-functional teams to identify requirements and develop scalable reporting frameworks that support company growth.
• Continuous Improvement: Provide analytical support for CI initiatives to prioritize optimization opportunities for both cost reduction and quality enhancement.

Qualifications and Experience

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, or Industrial Engineering.
• Experience: Proven track record in a high-tech manufacturing environment (SMT experience strongly preferred).
• Methodology: Strong working knowledge of ISO 9001 and a deep commitment to the Lean Six Sigma philosophy.
• Tech-Savvy: A high degree of curiosity regarding AI and robotics, with the ability to bridge the gap between hardware and software.
• Communication: Clear, concise communication skills with the ability to lead and influence cross-functional teams.
• Ethics: A "quality-first" mindset and a strong work ethic that values people and process equally.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Success

• Operational Efficiency: Achievement of a defined % increase in OEE across primary SMT lines within the first year.
• Process Capability: Maintenance of Cp/Cpk values above 1.33 for all critical manufacturing processes.
• Quality Improvement: Reduction in internal scrap rates and rework costs through effective Root Cause Analysis and DOE implementation.
• Automation Milestone: Successful pilot or deployment of at least one robotic (Cobot/Humanoid) or AI process integration per annum.
• Data Democratization: Full adoption of real-time production dashboards by floor supervisors and management teams.
