Engineer II, Process

About the role

As an R&D Process Engineer you will develop, validate and industrialize manufacturing processes for new microwave antenna products, ensuring a smooth transition from prototype to high‑volume production.

Key responsibilities

• Design and implement manufacturing tooling, fixtures, gauges and assembly aids for repeatable production.
• Lead Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) activities to optimise cost, quality and yield.
• Create and maintain process documentation such as flow charts, work instructions, SOPs, control plans and specifications.
• Conduct PFMEA, risk assessments and process capability studies to mitigate early‑stage manufacturing risks.
• Define critical process parameters, acceptance criteria and validation requirements.
• Plan and execute prototype, engineering and pilot builds, incorporating lessons learned into final processes.
• Collaborate with design, quality, supply‑chain and manufacturing teams to ensure seamless product industrialisation.
• Drive continuous‑improvement initiatives targeting yield, cycle‑time reduction, automation and cost‑effective solutions.
• Prepare comprehensive process transfer packages for hand‑over to NPI and manufacturing engineering.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Electronics & Communication, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
• Minimum 7 years of experience in R&D or manufacturing process engineering.
• Proven track record in process development, industrialisation and validation for electro‑mechanical products.
• Experience in medium‑volume mixed‑technology environments, preferably with RF/microwave antenna products.

Required skills

• Process development and validation
• Tooling, fixture and gauge design
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA)
• Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis (PFMEA) and risk assessment
• Process documentation (flows, SOPs, work instructions, control plans)
• Lean Manufacturing and structured problem‑solving methodologies
• Microwave antenna / RF background
