Date（发布日期）: 2023-11-30
Summary（岗位介绍）
The Manufacturing Design Engineering (MDE) Team is responsible for evaluating technologies and identifying supply chain solutions that allow us to deliver products to market at scale. Tech Ops seeks a Manufacturing Design Engineer (MDE) focused on manufacturing, process development, supplier qualification and surface finishing process development. We are looking for an
individual willing to work independently to accomplish bold things.
This Mechanical/SME MDE is technically proficient enough to work with the engineering design and Operations teams for augmented and virtual reality products. This role requires experience in supply chain and manufacturing to develop hardware tooling/fixture, develop new surface finishing processes so to create new highly cosmetic surface finishes with new colors and textures and bring process and technology into mass production. Specific hardware development and fixture knowledge are required, and the candidate must have demonstrated extreme hands-on technical expertise on various tooling components and systems, understood key factors in both the development, process qualification and manufacturing aspects of secondary operations (i.e. metal or plastic CNC machining, welding (laser, Ultrasonic, etc.), glue dispensing, insert molding, sheet metal fabrication, sub-assembly processes, plastic painting, pad/silk printing, CMF (color, material and surface finishing – blasting, polishing, PVD coating or anodization). The role will be to act as the key driver for Tier II technical/process components interface between the Tech Ops Engineering (Quality, Reliability, OPM), Supply Chain, Hardware Engineering (Product Design, Industrial Design) and FATP teams. This role will also interact with the MDE and SQE Team in APAC to implement and execute comprehensive process and technical solutions for our products.
Qualifications（岗位要求）
BS, MS, or PhD in engineering (mechanical, chemical, material, or equivalent)
5+ years of experience in mechanical manufacturing, specifically in technical and process development at NPI, technical problem solving, fixture manufacturing or operation skills
Experience working on metal and plastic manufacturing processes, including molding, stamping, die casting, CNC machining, welding, glue dispensing, pad/silk screen, painting, surface finishing, and assembly
Experience in technical and process development at NPI, technical problem solving, fixture manufacturing or operation skills
Experience in conducting DOEs to drive process and data collection
Experience with statistical process control tools to analyze data from DOE and part qualification, and to provide solutions and recommendations to engineering team
Experience driving DFM to meet design intent and manufacturability
Experience in working with international supply chain vendors, especially in APAC
Description（岗位职责）
Work directly with USA commercial Team to identify the best supplier partners to meet product requirements from both technical perspective as well as supply chain and manufacturing considerations, and during NPI conceptual design – work on process and manufacturing proposal, provide process flow simulation, manufacturing cycle time simulation, process and cost analysis
Work directly with USA hardware engineering team to provide technical proposal, manufacturing solutions at Tier II secondary process operations (post tooling) from equipment selection, process recommendations, process set-ups and qualifications, manufacturability to mass-production with cost effectiveness, process exploration for NPI program and critical part features and review manufacturability of design. Make recommendations to modify part specifications and tolerances as necessary to adapt development processes for high volume production and support cost effective production
Investigate new technologies to create new surface finishing processes to achieve a highly cosmetic finish. Evaluate the existing manufacturing processes at earlier product development stage to define the key process parameters. Optimize the processes to control a tight color specification.
Work closely with design teams to provide technical proposal and manufacturing solutions to help define the CMF targets and tolerances, to optimize the mechanical surface preparation processes including blasting and polishing, and surface finishing techniques including anodization, plating, painting, and PVD to meet challenging CMF targets.
Participate in core team weekly review to present Tier II secondary processes technical proposals to cross-functional and executives to buy in
Work closely with the APAC MDE team to come up with technical proposals during NPI conceptual phases that are manufacturable for mass production, cost effective and high yield, review Tier II vendors’ DFM, develop fixture procedures and processes, process qualifications including FAI, Cpk, reliability, production and final acceptance, and drive suppliers to optimize processes for cycle time reduction, automation, cost saving, LEAN manufacturing of the product
Work closely with the APAC MDE and SQE team to conduct experiments and cosmetic control run to confirm the process capability to achieve an effective cost and high yield. Interface with SQE and ID to conduct color matching, to drive sample review with ID to define the reasonable specification for mass production
Responsible for MIP (Manufacturing & In-Process Plan) document control for each program throughout the whole process cycle (Proto to Mass Production) with vendor on our products
Moderate travel to suppliers (domestic and international) and work closely with internal team to establish technical and manufacturing processes required during product development
Additional Requirements（额外要求）
Masters degree in mechanical engineering
Direct experience in consumer electronics and wearable devices industries
5+ years of experience in developing finishing processes for different type of mechanical components. A hands-on experience on development of finishing processes such as anodization, plating, painting, and PVD is preferre
