The NPI Engineer is responsible for translating customer technical drawings and specifications into robust, scalable, and cost-effective manufacturing processes. This role is critical in ensuring a smooth transition from customer requirements to production readiness in a precision manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Review and interpret customer drawings, specifications, and technical requirements.

• Develop and document end-to-end manufacturing processes, including process flow, work instructions, tooling, and inspection plans.

• Conduct DFM (Design for Manufacturability) reviews to ensure product designs are optimized for efficient and cost-effective production.

• Lead PFMEA (Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) activities to identify and mitigate potential process risks.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Production, Quality, Procurement) to ensure manufacturability and compliance with customer expectations.

• Lead process validation and first article builds to ensure readiness for mass production.

• Identify and resolve manufacturability issues early in the product lifecycle.

• Ensure all documentation (e.g., BOMs, routers, Work Instructions) is accurate and aligned with Quality Management Systems (QMS).

• Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance process efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness.

• Coordinate with suppliers for tooling and material readiness as required.

• Ensure compliance with internal and external quality standards (e.g., ISO9001, AS9100).

Requirements:

• Degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial Engineering.

• 3–5 years of experience in NPI or manufacturing engineering, preferably in a precision manufacturing environment.

• Strong ability to read and interpret technical drawings, GD&T, and customer specifications.

• Proficient in CAD/CAM software (e.g., SolidWorks,  SolidCAM, MasterCAM, Unigraphics).

• Familiar with ERP/MRP systems and manufacturing documentation practices.

• Experience in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing.

• Familiarity with CNC machining, deburring, and cleanroom processes.

• Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement methodologies.

Skills & Competencies:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration.

• Detail-oriented with a focus on quality and process control.
