Responsibilities

1) Translate Customer Requirements into Shopfloor Reality

  • Convert customer specifications and standards into CTQs (Critical-to-Quality), control plans, and work instructions for operators/technicians.
  • Facilitate requirements breakdown sessions with Engineering, NPI, and Production to ensure design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) are addressed.
  • Author/validate Manufacturing Quality Plans (MQPs) including inspection points, sampling, SPC charts, and acceptance criteria.
  • Ensure operator training & certification aligns with the latest specs, drawings, test limits, and rework codes.

2) Product & Production Quality Control (Electronics & RF)

  • Define and monitor quality gates: incoming inspection, AOI, X‑ray (BGA, voiding), ICT, FCT, boundary scan/JTAG, burn‑in, and RF functional tests (e.g., sensitivity, output power, EVM, BER, spectrum mask).
  • Lead first article inspections (FAI) and process capability studies (Cp/Cpk) for soldering, assembly, calibration, and RF alignment steps.
  • Drive root cause analysis and CAPA (8D, 5 Why, Ishikawa) for test failures, field returns (RMA), and escaped defects.
  • Maintain DFMEA/PFMEA, MSA (gauge R&R), and ensure test equipment calibration and traceability.

3) 9S Shopfloor Excellence

  • Lead implementation of 9S methodology on the shopfloor to improve order, safety, standardization, and sustainability.
  • Run 9S audits and action plans, ensuring visual controls, point-of-use storage, ergonomic flow, and audit trail of improvements.
  • Coach team leaders and operators, fostering a culture of discipline and pride in workplace organization.

4) Audit Readiness & Compliance

  • Prepare internal/external audits (e.g., ISO 9001 and customer audits): evidence packs, process mappings, document control, calibration records, and training matrices.
  • Conduct mock audits, close non‑conformities with sustainable CAPA, and maintain audit readiness (always‑ready status).
  • Ensure compliance with electronics and radio regulations/standards applicable to your products (e.g., IPC workmanship, EMC/EMI, product RF performance, CE/RED in the EU, FCC as applicable).

Qualifications

  • Minimum: Bachelor’s degree in Electro‑Mechanical Engineering (or Electronics, Electrical, Mechatronics).
  • Experience: 5–7+ years in product/production quality within electronics manufacturing (PCBs/assemblies) and radio‑communication / RF equipment.
  • Demonstrated success implementing 5S programs and sustaining results on the shopfloor.
  • Strong command of root cause analysis tools (8D, Fishbone, 5 Why) and FMEA/Control Plan development.
  • Practical knowledge of ISO 9001 systems and audit preparation; experience with customer audits highly valued.
  • Excellent communication; able to translate technical requirements into clear, actionable operator guidance.
  • Proven leadership, empathy, coordination, and a catalyst mindset
  • Familiarity with IPC-A-610 / IPC-A-600 (workmanship & PCB acceptability), ESD controls (IEC 61340‑5‑1), and RF standards/regulations (e.g., RED 2014/53/EU, EMC, CE marking; FCC if applicable).
  • Automotive or aerospace quality exposure (APQP/PPAP) for structured NPI launches.
  • Experience with MES/ERP, quality modules, and data visualization (e.g., Power BI).
