Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineer

About the role

As a Manufacturing Sustaining Engineer, you will support products after they move from design into full production, ensuring reliability, buildability and cost‑effectiveness throughout the lifecycle. The role blends factory‑floor investigation with long‑range product stewardship.

Key responsibilities

• Own post‑launch product support, addressing issues that arise during production, assembly, and field use.
• Troubleshoot manufacturing defects by analyzing process data, yield trends, returned units and operator feedback.
• Lead root‑cause analyses and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to improve product and process stability.
• Manage engineering work requests (EWRs) and work on Engineering Change Notifications (ECNs) for component changes related to manufacturability, cost, reliability or value engineering.
• Support supply chain continuity by evaluating alternates when components face obsolescence, long lead times, or cost spikes.
• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, supply chain and design engineering teams to keep product intent intact as changes are rolled out.
• Analyze yields and process capability (Cp/Cpk) to identify where the production line needs tuning or tooling adjustments.
• Optimize manufacturability by refining assembly steps, tooling, test procedures or quality checkpoints.
• Review and update production documentation including 3D models, drawings, test specs, BOMs, labels, manuals, etc.
• Champion product reliability, feeding lessons learned back to design teams and ensuring consistent performance in the field.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Mechatronic Engineering.
• Hands‑on experience in manufacturing environments with line troubleshooting.
• Strong root‑cause analysis skills using methods such as 5 Whys, Fishbone, DOE, FMEA.
• Familiarity with machining, molding, SMT, assembly, testing and inspection processes.
• Proficiency with CAD (SolidWorks preferred), PLM and ERP systems.
• Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, schematics, GD&T tolerances and test data.
• Excellent communication and cross‑functional teamwork.
• Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma or continuous improvement is a plus.
• Fluent in English.
