We are seeking an experienced Senior Process Engineer to join our US team and own process development, qualification, and continuous improvement for our current and future hardware products. You will work across all stages of the product lifecycle to improve manufacturing processes and assembly methods. You will serve as the manufacturing voice in cross-functional programs, drive process excellence at internal sites and external partners globally, and develop deep expertise in manufacturing processes for current and future products.

As a Senior Process Engineer, you feel equally comfortable working hands-on on the factory floor as you do driving Design for Manufacturability in new product development projects across all levels of leadership. You will contribute to product design through DFM work and collaborate closely with R&D Engineers, factories, and external partners as needed.

What You will do:

• Lead process development, validation, and design transfer for consumer electronics products from EVT/DVT through PVT and mass production ramp
• Own the process documentation suite, including assembly flow diagrams, PFMEAs, control plans, and visual work instructions
• Conduct Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews in close collaboration with mechanical and electrical engineering teams
• Drive yield improvement and defect reduction using DOE, SPC, root cause analysis (8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa), and corrective action programs
• Ensure manufacturing readiness, on-time execution of prototype builds, and successful factory ramp-up
• Define process capability requirements and perform capability studies (Cp/Cpk, GR&R, MSA) for critical assembly operations
• Apply lean manufacturing principles (value stream mapping, Kaizen, 5S, standardized work) to eliminate waste and increase throughput
• Partner with quality engineering to establish AQL inspection standards, incoming quality criteria, and containment plans for process escapes
• Represent manufacturing in NPI stage-gate reviews and clearly communicate readiness status to senior stakeholders

We would love to have you on our team if you have:

• Proven track record in consumer electronics manufacturing, with hands-on experience in electronics assembly processes, automation, and factory collaboration.
• Experience with miniaturized product design.
• Ability to work collaboratively and effectively in complex environments with cross-functional teams, external partners, and factories.
• Systematic and organized way of working, with a strong ability to identify and prioritize tasks.
• Comfortable working in written and spoken English.
• Willing and able to travel up to 25% of the time.
