Surface Engineering - Manufacturing Design Engineers (MDE - IC) Job Summary : The Surface Engineering Manufacturing Design Engineers (MDE) are responsible for the development and implementation of crucial Surface finishing processes during our prototype development builds through high volume production. Key Qualifications : 5+ years of experience supporting new product launches from a manufacturing engineering or product development perspective Experience with fabricating parts or jigs, fixtures, tooling, injection molding, plastics, ceramics, metas Proven understanding of Design of Experiment (DOE), GD&T, SPC and mechanical fabrication techniques. CAD experience for part and fixture design Hands on experience and understanding of Surface treatment and surface finishing processes like Polishing, Tumbling, Blasting, Lapping, Grinding, plasma process, cleaning and fine material removal technologies. Ability to set up and troubleshoot Surface finishing processes to control surface roughness, color, glossiness and provide corrective actions to achieve the design specification. Experience with different cleaning technologies and process optimization. Hands-on experience in data collection and analysis using JMP, Minitab & Six Sigma experience is a plus Experience with DFM (Design for Manufacturing) feedback to industrial or product design teams to optimize a design for surface engineering processes. Good experience of on-site build support and work from OEM factories. A team player who is self-motivated, results oriented and detailed oriented. Ability and willingness to work independently and travel frequently (mainly in India). Description: In this highly visible role, you will manage selection, implementation & optimization of surface engineering and finishing manufacturing processes for mechanical enclosures and housing for our legendary products. Design best-in-class surface engineering and finishing process based on product drawing and cosmetic specification, mapping out proper process flow and ERS which includes processing equipment selection, corresponding fixture design, and DOE design that informs the optimal parameters. Develop single automation or integrated automation line with new technologies implemented to ensure high levels of product assembly quality, which is used to fulfill the entire manufacturing process of our different types of enclosure & housing parts including but not limited to: Polishing, Tumbling, Blasting, Lapping, Grinding, plasma process, cleaning and fine material removal technologies. Utilize your mechanical engineering experience to provide guidance on equipment design, machine layout, part flow, assembly and movement mechanism, fixture design, accuracy control, standard components selection, robot & CCD implementation, SW flowchart, system integration, etc. Be involved in the entire equipment development cycle, including: initial automation proposal, machine selection, prototype machine testing & evaluation, leading DOEs to validate machine stability as well as process capability. Would also be working on existing machine continuous improvement, cycle time reduction, OEE improvement, modification or retrofit. Coordination of activities and direction through clear communication between the Asia and US-based teams, and vendors is a necessity. Work closely with Cupertino-based MDEs in the development of above said processes. Work with Global Supply Managers to develop new equipment from RFQ through factory implementation, and manufacture and deliver material to downstream supply chain nodes on time and on cost. Work with MQE to drive yield improvement through SPC, Pareto data review to take activities accordingly. Education & Experience: Bachelors / Masters in Mechanical / Production / Industrial Engineering or equivalent with 5+ years of relevant Experience. AGG
