We are looking for an exceptional Laser Manufacturing Engineer who can…
- Manage the transfer of new product from design engineering to manufacturing sites for mass production, inclusive of transfer planning, facility preparation, production team training, build & test procedure, material and tools/equipment readiness.
- Develop and evaluate manufacturing processes by applying knowledge of product design, fabrication, assembly, tooling, and materials; conferring with design engineering, equipment vendors, production and field service teams.
- Generate assembly process flows, description and work instructions.
Timely resolve daily issues that impede fulfillment of production orders.
Improve manufacturing efficiency by analyzing and planning work flow, space requirements, equipment layout, etc. - Assure product and process quality by developing appropriate testing methods; analyzing process capabilities; establishing standards; and validating manufacturing processes.
- Effectively apply process control (e.g. statistical process control (SPC)) to monitor, analyze, and define errant processes, and to refine processes to reduce variability.
- Review production rejects, provide appropriate decisions and actions for disposition.
- Prepare product and process reports by collecting, analyzing and summarizing failure/defect information and trends; following up with corrective/improvement actions.
- Devise and submit engineering change orders (ECO) to refine processes and parts.
- Determine the calibration and maintenance processes for production tools and test equipment.
- Qualify supplier/design/procedure change by developing relevant test methods and documenting the outcome.
- Provide technical support to field service.
- Develop and implement continuous improvement projects, applying a systematic approach to problem-solving.
What will you bring to the team, along with your curiosity is:
- Good knowledge of solid-state and fiber-based lasers.
- Good knowledge of precision optics including lenses, polarization optics, modulators, optical harmonic generation & laser cavity design.
- Hands on experience with assembly and test of optical, electro-optical, electro-mechanical & laser systems.
- Experience in beam characterization using commercially available equipment, e.g. Spiricon M2 instrument & Ophir beam profiler.
- Experience in using multi-meter, function generator and oscilloscope.
- Ability to read and understand mechanical drawings and electrical wiring diagrams.
- Hands on experience using 3D CAD software for simple jig/fixture design will be an added advantage.
- Good working knowledge of MS Excel, MS PowerPoint and MS Words is essential.
- Experience in programming (e.g. Python, C#, VBA, data analytics, database, etc) will be an added advantage.
- Working knowledge of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems will be an advantage.
- Good knowledge of manufacturing best practices (e.g. ISO 9001, Kanban, LEAN, 8D, Design-for-Manufacturability, etc)
- Familiarity with SPC methodology for process management will be an advantage.
- Strong troubleshooting skills.
- Ability to multi-task in support of multiple product lines simultaneously.
- A good team player yet able to work independently and with minimal supervision.
- Willing to travel overseas when required.
- Bachelor's degree and above in laser, optic or electro-optical engineering.
- Candidates with a degree in Industrial or Manufacturing Engineering and with experience in the manufacturing of laser systems will also be considered.
