What you'll be doing:
- Bring up Lidar assembly line from NPI phase to mass production.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, quality, operations, and supply chain to define project scopes and objectives.
- Develop equipment and processes with contract manufacturer (CM) that meet product design specifications.
- Develop and analyze line design with contract manufacturer to meet annual production targets.
- Develop and track Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) metrics. Identify gaps and corrective actions needed to bridge to target performance.
- Manage BOM for production ramp and mass production.
- Collaborate with engineering and CM to install assembly line equipment, perform GR&R analysis, review work instructions and operator training requirements, and track yield, line availability and takt time.
- Drive DFM/DFA/DFT and PFMEA to ensure production manufacturability.
- Establish yield tracking / reporting methodology and drive corrective actions with engineering and CM. Identify yield bridge to line targets.
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams, manufacturing, and quality assurance to troubleshoot issues and improve product performance.
- Ensure on time delivery from NPI through mass production.
- Drive the development and implementation of automation and line scaling supporting production volume projections.
- Manage quality in the line by routinely monitoring KPIs and present reports to operations and management teams.
- Prepare roadmap and capacity plans for product ramp and next-gen NPI.
What you'll have:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Optical engineering, or related field) or equivalent practical experience.
- Prior experience with TeamCenter, Jira, and Confluence.
- Proficient in data analysis and interpretation, using statistical techniques and software tools such as JMP.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot technical issues effectively.
- Experience with Engineering Change Orders and Product LifeCycle management.
- Minimum of 7-10 years of experience in manufacturing / technical operations in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders.
