Job Description:

Develop and design manufacturing process workflows for ultra-clean product assembly in semiconductor and life science applications.
Develop, transfer, and industrialize new manufacturing processes for the production of optical fiber assemblies and related products.
Implement customer cleanliness requirements and cleanroom process specifications to ensure stable and repeatable production.
Optimize assembly processes and manufacturing procedures to improve productivity, quality, efficiency, and cost.
Lead continuous improvement initiatives and mentor team members to enhance assembly processes and operational excellence.
Translate customer requirements into practical engineering solutions, design specifications, and detailed manufacturing documentation.
Create conceptual and detailed engineering drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), routing, assembly instructions, and supporting documentation for prototype and production builds.
Support prototype assembly, product validation, testing, and the transition from development to mass production.
Conduct tolerance stack-up and GD&T analyses to ensure product manufacturability and compliance with design requirements.
Review and maintain engineering documentation, including Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), engineering data packs, DFMEA, and other product lifecycle documents.
Maintain accurate BOMs, routing information, and master data within the ERP/PLM system.
Prepare, maintain, and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and other technical documentation.
Translate engineering drawings and technical documents from German to English (where applicable) and upload documentation into local systems.
Support design reviews, technical discussions, project meetings, and risk assessments.
Collaborate closely with R&D, Process Engineering, Production, Quality, Supply Chain, Sales, and Marketing teams to ensure successful product development and manufacturing.
Ensure compliance with Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) requirements and quality management systems, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 13485, and AS9100D.
Provide project documentation and administrative support for engineering and R&D activities as required.

Job Requirements:

Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
At least 3–5 years of experience in mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, process engineering, or product development within the semiconductor, precision engineering, photonics, optics, or related manufacturing industries.
Experience in optical fiber assembly or precision optics manufacturing is highly preferred.
Experience in new product introduction (NPI), manufacturing process development, and process transfer to production.
Hands-on experience in maintaining Bills of Materials (BOMs), routing, master data, and engineering documentation.
Experience supporting prototype builds, product validation, testing, and production ramp-up.
Knowledge of mechanical design principles, engineering drawings, GD&T, and tolerance stack-up analysis.
Familiarity with 2D/3D CAD software and engineering document control practices.
Understanding of Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), DFMEA, and product lifecycle documentation.
Knowledge of contamination control and cleanroom manufacturing practices is an advantage.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings; proficiency in translating technical documents from German to English is an added advantage.
Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to detail.
Good communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional and international teams.
Self-motivated, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Committed to continuous improvement and compliance with quality, environmental, and safety standards.
