We are looking for an experienced Senior Process Engineer to join our US team to manage and continuously improve manufacturing processes, bring strong improvements to assembly methods, and, develop deep expertise on manufacturing processes for current and future products.

As a Senior Process Engineer you feel equally comfortable working hands-on at the factory floor as you do in driving Design for Manufacturability in new product development projects across all levels of leadership.

You will contribute to product design through DFM work and collaborate closely with R&D Engineers, factories and external partners, as needed.

What You will do:

• Lead process development, validation, and transfer for consumer electronics products from EVT/DVT through PVT and mass production ramp
• Own process documentation suite: assembly flow diagrams, process FMEA (PFMEA), control plans, and visual work instructions
• Conduct Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews in close collaboration with mechanical and electrical engineering teams
• Drive yield improvement and defect reduction using DOE, SPC, root cause analysis (8D, 5-why, Ishikawa), and corrective action programmes
• Manage process qualification milestones and factory readiness reviews at ODM/OEM/EMS manufacturing partners
• Define process capability requirements and execute capability studies (Cp/Cpk, GR&R, MSA) on critical assembly operations
• Apply lean manufacturing principles (value stream mapping, Kaizen, 5S, standardised work) to eliminate waste and improve throughput
• Collaborate with quality engineering to establish AQL inspection standards, incoming quality criteria, and containment plans for process escapes
• Represent manufacturing requirements at NPI stage-gate reviews and communicate readiness status to senior stakeholders
• Mentor junior engineers and factory technical staff; develop and deliver process training programmes
