Job Description
Scope of Work: NPI (New Product Introduction) and mass production, for assigned product (module, sub-assembly, or instrument level).
Product Quality, Yield, and Cycle Time: Lead cross functional team to drive continuous product and quality performance improvement i.e. factory yield, DEFOA, warranty/Annual Failure Rate and production efficiency (yield and cycle time).
Product Development: Collaborate with R&D in product development and validation throughout product life cycle. Works with R&D to design, develop and release new tools or process technologies and is a resource for risk assessments and design for manufacturability. Provide engineering support throughout the product development process. Influencing the design of the product and/or process to ensure manufacturability and conformance with the global supply chain, enabling prototyping while in the R&D lab, testing the reliability of prototypes, scale-up, and managing the transition into production. Develop manufacturing and test for new product i.e. responsible for the development of product manufacturing process, assembly fixture/tooling and test system. Design test procedures to optimize test time or troubleshooting. Actively participating in design reviews and providing input on electronic circuit designs and obsolescence redesigns. Develop product test plans and perform production tests based on manufacturing process instructions. May drive alignment between the NPI strategy and internal stakeholders as well as external suppliers.
Product Sustenance: Provide technical support to day-to-day product issues. As the technical owner, provide technical support to all product related issue, which include customer quality issues, production line trouble shooting, product/part/process change validation, etc. Maintain compliance to quality standards through proper execution of test methods, procedures, training, qualification etc. May be assigned as the technical leader to assist operating manager or as project lead for new or current product engineering and improvement i.e. equipment and test enhancement, NPI, product transfer, Value Engineering Projects or CPE (current product engineering) projects.
Support and implement the transition of products and manufacturing processes from prototype to full production (NPI) and through the entire life cycle of the product. including influencing the design of the product to ensure manufacturability and conformance with the global supply chain, product test methodology and tester development, enabling prototyping while in the R&D lab, testing the reliability of prototypes and managing the transition into production.
Supply Chain related: Collaborate with procurement and material engineering in the specification, sourcing and qualification of materials used in the design and production of Agilent products to meet quality, cost and manufacturability goals.
Process Improvement and Compliance, Lean Manufacturing: Ensure compliance with engineering change order (ECO) procedures and work instructions. Collaborate with design engineering to transition design prototypes into cost-efficient, manufacturable (DFx) high-volume products. Implementing Lean Manufacturing principles within the plant. Design jig/fixtures for new product, to ensure product manufacturability. Supports and implements the transition of products and manufacturing processes from prototype to full production and through the entire life cycle of the product. May redesign products to meet cost objectives, obsolescence, and customer requirements. Utilizes digital solutions to optimize and maintain state of the art manufacturing processes. Performs a variety of engineering duties to support manufacturing operations. Improves products, processes and applications to meet agreed-upon objectives.
