Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineer

About the role

The Manufacturing Sustaining Engineer supports products after they move from design into full production, ensuring reliability, buildability, and cost‑effectiveness throughout the product 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 Engineering Change Notifications (ECNs) for component changes related to manufacturability, cost, reliability or value engineering.
• Support supply‑chain continuity by evaluating alternatives 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 needed line tuning or tooling adjustments.
• Optimize manufacturability by refining assembly steps, tooling, test procedures, or quality checkpoints.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Mechatronic Engineering.
• Hands‑on experience in manufacturing environments, including line troubleshooting.
• Strong expertise in root‑cause analysis methodologies such as 5 Whys, Fishbone, DOE, and FMEA.
• Familiarity with machining, molding, SMT, assembly, testing, and inspection processes.
• Proficiency with CAD (SolidWorks preferred), PLM, and ERP systems, and ability to interpret GD&T drawings and test data.

Required skills

• SolidWorks / CAD modeling
• PLM and ERP system usage
• GD&T interpretation
• FMEA and DOE analysis
• Machining, molding, SMT, assembly, testing, inspection
• Cp/Cpk process capability analysis
