Industrial Engineering Manager (final assembly)
Managing the SMT and DIP production lines, implementing industrial engineering methodologies, and ensuring efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness in the assembly processes. The candidate will lead a team of engineers and technicians, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
Key Responsibilities:
Process Optimization and Efficiency:
- Analyze and improve SMT and DIP production processes to reduce cycle times, improve throughput, and enhance productivity.
- Develop and implement time studies, process flow analysis, and balance lines to maximize efficiency.
- Evaluate and refine layouts, material flow, and workstations to meet production targets.
- Identify bottlenecks and provide actionable solutions to enhance production capacity.
Cost Reduction Initiatives:
- Monitor material usage, labor efficiency, and equipment performance to identify cost-saving opportunities.
- Evaluate alternative methods, tools, or technologies to reduce operating costs.
- Implement lean manufacturing principles such as 5S, Kaizen, and Six Sigma to drive continuous improvement.
Quality Assurance:
- Work closely with the quality team to ensure SMT and DIP assemblies meet customer and industry standards.
- Investigate and resolve process-related quality issues such as soldering defects, misalignment, or assembly errors.
- Support root cause analysis and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) for process improvements.
New Product Introduction (NPI):
- Collaborate with R&D, product development, and design teams to ensure smooth introduction of new products on SMT and DIP lines.
- Review and provide feedback on design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA).
- Validate process parameters, fixtures, and tools required for NPIs.
Team Management and Development:
- Supervise and mentor a team of industrial engineers and technicians.
- Provide training to the team on new technologies, standards, and methodologies.
- Conduct regular performance evaluations and foster a culture of continuous learning and professional growth.
Equipment and Technology Management:
- Oversee the maintenance, calibration, and upgrades of SMT and DIP equipment.
- Assess and justify investments in new machinery or automation technologies to improve production efficiency.
- Manage relationships with equipment suppliers for procurement and ongoing support.
Data Analysis and Reporting:
- Collect, analyze, and present metrics related to machine utilization, yield rates, scrap rates, and other performance indicators.
- Generate and maintain work instructions, process documentation, and operational records.
- Forecast capacity requirements and provide input on production planning.
Safety and Compliance:
- Ensure that all production processes adhere to safety, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
- Implement and enforce policies to maintain a safe and healthy work environment for the team.
Qualifications:
Education:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field. MBA or advanced certifications in engineering/management is a plus.
Experience:
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in final assembly supervisory/managerial role.
- Proven expertise in SMT and DIP processes and equipment, including reflow soldering, wave soldering, and selective soldering.
- Strong experience in implementing lean manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies.
Technical Skills:
- Proficiency in manufacturing software/tools such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, MES (Manufacturing Execution System), and ERP systems.
- Understanding of IPC standards (e.g., IPC-A-610, IPC-J-STD-001).
- Familiarity with statistical tools and data analysis software (e.g., Minitab).
