SUMMARY
The Manufacturing Process Control Engineeris responsible forowning defining and sustaining manufacturing processes to ensure consistent execution stability and quality across production. This role focuses on process discipline standardization and control using statistical process control (SPC) and data analysis as tools tomonitorperformance detect variation and drive corrective action.
This position is embedded directly on the SMT production floor and requires a continuous on-floor presence. The Manufacturing Process Control Engineer works alongside operators technicians Manufacturing Engineering Quality and Production teams on the line to establishclear process expectationsmaintaincontrol plans and reaction plans and ensure processes are followed understood and capable over time. This is a hands-on floor-based rolenot a desk-based or remote engineering position.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The essential functions of this position include but are not limited to the following:
Manufacturing Process Ownership
Own and sustain defined manufacturing processes to ensure consistent execution across shifts and product lines
Establish document andmaintainstandard work process flows and operating parameters
Ensure processes are clearly defined understood and followed by production teams
Regularlyobserveprocess execution on the production floor and address gaps in adherence or understanding
Maintain a consistent presence on the SMT production line toobservereal-time process execution support operators andimmediatelyaddress process variation or non-conformance
Process Control & Stability
Develop andmaintainprocess control plans and reaction plans for critical manufacturing processes
Define key process parameters (KPPs) and critical-to-quality (CTQ) characteristics
Use SPC and other monitoring methods to confirm process stability and capability
Lead response and corrective action when processes deviate from defined expectations
SPC & Data-Driven Enforcement
Implement and sustain SPC methodologies to support process control and early detection of variation
Selectappropriate controlchart types and sampling approaches
Analyze SPC data toidentifytrends special cause variation and opportunities for improvement
Ensure SPC results drivetimelyaction not just reporting
Continuous Improvement & Problem Solving
Lead and support root cause analysis related to process variation defects and escapes
Drive process improvements focused on variation reduction yield improvement and defect prevention
Support process validation qualification and change implementation
Validate improvements through defined process metrics and data analysis
Cross-Functional & Floor Engagement
Operate primarily from the SMT production floor partnering directly with operators technicians and supervisors rather than working from a traditional engineering office environment
Provide hands-on coaching and training to operators and technicians on process discipline and control
Support NPI process transfers and production ramp-ups byestablishingstable repeatable processes
Communicate process risks gaps and improvement opportunities clearly to stakeholders
Quality & Compliance Support
Ensure manufacturing processes and controls align with ISO AS IPC and customer requirements
Support audits CAPA activities and customer issues related to process performance
Maintainaccurateand controlled process documentation
QUALIFICATIONS
Required Qualifications
Bachelors degree in Manufacturing Industrial Mechanical Electrical Engineering Statistics or a related technical field
4-6 years of experience in SPC process control quality engineering or manufacturing engineering
Experience in a manufacturing environment
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in electronics manufacturing or regulated manufacturing environments preferred
Knowledge Skills and Abilities
Advanced knowledge of statistical process control and process capability analysis
Experience with SPC methodologies control charts and reaction planning
Working knowledge of PFMEA control plans and process validation
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and manufacturing documentation
Strong analytical problem-solving and communication skills
Ability to work independently and influence cross-functional teams
