Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineer

About the role

This Manufacturing Sustaining Engineer supports products after they move from design into full production, making sure what comes off the line stays reliable, buildable and cost-effective throughout the product's lifecycle. The role blends hands-on factory-floor troubleshooting 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 using process data, yield trends, returned units and operator feedback.
• Lead root-cause analyses and implement durable corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
• Manage engineering work requests (EWRs) and work on Engineering Change Notifications (ECNs) for component changes related to manufacturability, cost, reliability or value engineering.
• Evaluate component alternates when facing obsolescence, long lead times or cost spikes.
• Analyze yields and process capability (Cp/Cpk) to tune the production line and tooling.
• Optimize manufacturability by refining assembly steps, tooling, test procedures and quality checkpoints.
• Review and update production documentation such as 3D models, drawings, test specs, BOMs, labels and manuals.
• Feed lessons learned back to design teams to champion product reliability.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (Mechanical, Industrial or Mechatronics).
• Hands-on experience in manufacturing environments, including troubleshooting on the line.
• Fluent in English; open, honest and team-oriented, willing to learn new technologies.

Required skills

• Root-cause analysis methods (5 Whys, Fishbone, DOE, FMEA)
• Familiarity with machining, molding, SMT, assembly, testing and inspection
• CAD (SolidWorks preferred), PLM and ERP systems
• Mechanical drawings, schematics, GD&T tolerances and test data interpretation
• Lean, Six Sigma or continuous improvement knowledge is a plus
