Process Engineer

Job Description:

·      Develop, implement, and optimize manufacturing or operational processesto improve yield, quality, cycle time, and cost.

·      Analyze process performance using data, statistical tools, and root causeanalysis techniques.

·      Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve process issues, deviations, andbottlenecks.

·      Lead or support continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., Lean, SixSigma, Kaizen).

·      Select and qualify diamond tools based on material properties (ZnSe, Ge,Si, metals, polymers), and optimize feeds, speeds, and coolant usage tominimize tool wear.

·      Establish and maintain process documentation, including SOPs, workinstructions, control plans, and process flow diagrams.

·      Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as Production, Quality,Maintenance, R&D, and Supply Chain, ensuring processes comply with safety,quality, and regulatory requirements.

·      Support cost reduction and productivity improvement projects.
