Job Description
- Prototype Build and Trial Production Support
- Participate in new product development projects, responsible for the fabrication, assembly, and preliminary testing of prototypes, ensuring timely delivery of samples required for design verification.
- Support small-batch trial production (NPI) activities; operate equipment according to trial process plans, execute production processes, and accurately record various parameters and data during trial production.
- Assist engineers in setting up and debugging temporary production lines or jigs and fixtures required for trial production, and participate in the on-site acceptance and debugging of new equipment and tooling, providing feedback from an operator's perspective.
- Production Issue Identification and Preliminary Analysis
- During prototype building and trial production, closely monitor and meticulously document all process, assembly, equipment, or material issues (e.g., assembly interference, performance deviation, equipment instability).
- Conduct preliminary analysis of problems based on hands-on experience, providing engineers with detailed observations and firsthand descriptions to assist in root cause analysis.
- Process and Documentation Assistance
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
- Equipment Operation Manuals
- Equipment Daily Check and Maintenance Plans
- Based on hands-on trial production experience, assist engineers in developing, optimizing, and creating necessary process documentation for both trial and mass production, including but not limited to:
- Ensure the practicality and usability of process documentation to lay a solid foundation for subsequent mass production.
- Participate in trial production reviews, providing feedback on process optimization from an operator's viewpoint
- Production Transfer and Knowledge Handover
- Play a key role in transferring process and operational knowledge to the mass production team during the transition from trial to mass production.
- Participate in training mass production operators, ensuring they master the correct operating methods and quality control points for the new product.
