Sr. Process Engineer

Job Description & Skill Requirement

•    Ensure highly capable processes are developed and demonstrated ahead of detailed equipment design. Measure process capability and evaluate limit samples.
•    Internalize responsibility to factory production metrics during equipment design (quality, yield, rate, and availability).
•    Build and lead a world-class manufacturing development team responsible for deploying cell and module assembly processes from prototype to high-volume manufacturing.
•    Drive PFMEA (Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis) and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) considerations as early as possible in product development to simplify, reduce non-value add steps, and achieve significant performance/quality/cost improvements.
•    Utilize statistical analysis tools and methodologies to analyze process data, identify trends/correlations, and make data-driven decisions for process optimization.
•    Partner with product design, R&D, quality, and supply chain teams to integrate DFM (Design for Manufacturing) considerations, process control, and simplicity to enable high volume and cost targets.
•    Actively engage with vendors to ensure the selection of appropriate technology, automation levels, and pricing for the scale and maturity of the production line.
•    Define, develop, and implement metrology, quality control methods, statistical process control, and inspection methods (incoming, outgoing, and in-process) to ensure process capability and reliability.
•    Conduct process capability studies, utilize statistical analysis tools (e.g., Design of Experiments). Lead troubleshooting efforts to identify root causes of manufacturing issues and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence while optimizing processes.
