Senior Engineer - Engineering

About the Opportunity:

An established international industrial manufacturing group with a long-standing presence in precision engineering and tooling solutions. Its Malaysian operation serves as an important Asian production centre, supporting global markets with precision-manufactured products and strong emphasis on quality, reliability and manufacturing excellence.

What You'll Be Doing:

Take ownership of manufacturing engineering activities across machinery, processes, technical improvement and maintenance support, while strengthening production capability, equipment reliability and operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead day-to-day manufacturing engineering activities supporting machining, production equipment and manufacturing processes.
• Review existing manufacturing processes and identify opportunities to improve productivity, cycle time, quality, yield and overall equipment effectiveness.
• Troubleshoot recurring machine, tooling, process and technical issues and implement sustainable corrective actions.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives involving process optimisation, machine capability, workflow, tooling and manufacturing methods.
• Work closely with Production to ensure machines, processes and technical resources are capable of meeting output and quality requirements.
• Coordinate preventive and corrective maintenance activities to improve equipment reliability and minimise unplanned downtime.
• Analyse machine breakdowns and recurring equipment issues using structured root-cause analysis and corrective-action methodologies.
• Support machinery upgrades, modification, installation, commissioning and capital expenditure projects.
• Develop and improve engineering standards, work instructions, process parameters and technical documentation.
• Evaluate manufacturing equipment, tooling and engineering solutions from technical and commercial perspectives.
• Liaise with equipment suppliers, contractors and technical service providers for maintenance, improvement and engineering projects.
• Support facility, utility and plant-related technical matters where engineering involvement is required.
• Promote preventive engineering practices rather than relying primarily on reactive maintenance.
• Coach technicians, operators and junior engineering personnel on machine capability, troubleshooting and good engineering practices.
• Work closely with Quality, Production and Management to resolve manufacturing constraints and strengthen overall operational performance.
• Support longer-term engineering capability development and progressively assume broader ownership of the plant's engineering function.

What We're Looking For:

• Degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechatronics or a related technical discipline.
• Approximately 7–10 years of relevant engineering experience within a manufacturing environment, preferably with several years at senior engineer level.
• Strong exposure to manufacturing processes, production machinery, machining or precision engineering environments.
• Practical experience in process improvement, machine troubleshooting and manufacturing problem-solving.
• Sound understanding of preventive maintenance, equipment reliability and root-cause analysis.
• Exposure to CNC machining, grinding, cutting tools, tooling, metalworking or other precision manufacturing processes would be advantageous.
• Experience handling machine installation, modification, improvement or CAPEX-related engineering projects is preferred.
• Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing, 5S, Kaizen, OEE, TPM or similar continuous-improvement methodologies.
• Strong hands-on engineering orientation with the ability to work effectively on the production floor.
• Able to coordinate across Production, Maintenance, Quality, suppliers and management.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem-solving capability.
• Able to work independently and progressively take broader ownership of the engineering function.
• Good communication skills in English; additional language capability is advantageous.
