Senior/Production Manager - #1125989

Job Description

The Production Manager is responsible for leading and managing all production operations across CNC machining (4-axis & 5-axis), PCBA, weldment assembly, and box-builds assembly. This role oversees a team of manufacturing, process engineers and DL teams to ensure stable production, continuous improvement, and high-quality output for precision engineering and semiconductor products.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage a team of manufacturing and process engineers to develop, optimize, and sustain CNC machining and assembly processes.

• Drive production efficiency improvements, including cycle time reduction, tool-life enhancement, yield improvement, and process capability optimization using data-driven methodologies.

• Oversee the design, fabrication, and qualification of jigs, fixtures, cutting tools, gauges, and tooling required for precision manufacturing and assembly operations.

• Coordinate and manage NPI builds—from DFM reviews, prototype builds, and process validation to full-scale production implementation.

• Lead structured root cause analysis and implement corrective and preventive actions for production and quality issues using methodologies such as 8D, DMAIC, and FMEA.

• Implement Lean Manufacturing, 5S/6S, and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance productivity, efficiency, and product quality across CNC and assembly departments.

• Collaborate closely with Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Engineering teams to ensure on-time delivery and seamless production flow.

• Ensure compliance with all safety, quality, and regulatory requirements within the production environment.

• Perform any other ad hoc duties as assigned to support business needs.

Job Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline.

• Minimum 8 years of experience in precision manufacturing, including at least 3 years in an engineering or production leadership role.

• Strong technical expertise in engineering processes and precision manufacturing operations, including CNC machining, PCBA, weldment assembly, and box-build assembly.

• Proven experience in CNC machining operations — multi-axis programming, tooling/fixture design, machining optimization, and process development.

• Hands-on experience in developing, optimizing, and sustaining production processes to achieve efficiency and quality targets.

• Working knowledge of electro-mechanical / box-build assembly and integration processes is preferred.

• Proficiency in CAD/CAM tools such as SolidWorks, Mastercam, NX, or equivalent, with a strong understanding of GD&T.

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and project management skills, with a hands-on, shop-floor approach.

• Ability to perform under pressure, manage shifting priorities, and thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

• Demonstrated leadership capability — able to motivate, guide, and develop a high-performing engineering/production team.

• Willingness to work on-site at Changi North Crescent & available to join immediately or with minimal notice.
