SCHEDULE

On-site, M-F (1st shift). Role Overview You will be embedded on‑site at a supplier (non‑client facility) to maximize throughput and ship rate for a new server product line. You'll partner with supplier technicians and client engineers to triage test/repair/debug issues in real time, optimize test/repair/diagnostic flows, and drive First‑Pass Yield (FPY) and cycle‑time improvements using data from test logs and factory systems. Daily work blends hands‑on line support, data analysis (Excel/SQL) , and tight cross‑functional coordination. Task Breakdown/Workflow The overall goal of this role is to maximize throughput / ship the most servers .

Best estimates for time allocation:

20% — meetings / standups / escalations 30% — independent analysis (logs, failure paretos, cycle‑time, WIP tracking) 50% — collaborative floor work with supplier techs & client engineers This role will be on-site at a supplier (non-client owned building). They will need to sync with other engineers that work for the client on overall program status and the tactical daily plan / top issues. From there, their work may include gathering more information through: Physical inspection on the factory floor Reviewing logs, Excel data, etc. from their laptop

MUST HAVES

BSME, BSIE, BSEE, or related engineering degree (There is no particular degree or certification needed.) 5 years of experience in an engineering and/or quality role. 3 years is acceptable if that time has been spent in a factory working directly on electronics.

Candidates may have 3 years of experience plus a BS in an engineering discipline, or 20 years of experience with no degree if they worked their way up in a factory. Consumer electronics product manufacturing or repair experience with ownership in test/repair/diagnostic environments (e.g., consumer electronics, EMS/contract manufacturing, battery modules/packs, server or PCBA‑based assemblies). Ownership should include driving FPY/throughput and reducing rework/scrap. Demonstrated success improving test/repair cell performance (e.g., cycle‑time reduction, FPY lift, bottleneck removal) with published KPIs/dashboards. Strong factory‑floor presence: comfortable leading standups, directing technicians, and resolving issues under ship pressure.

Data fluency:

proficient with Excel (pivot tables, lookups, charts; comfort wrangling test logs) and building actionable trends.

Manufacturing/process engineering fundamentals:

WIP flow, queueing, standard work, error‑proofing, containment, understand how factory flows work and how to optimize them, and corrective action. Communication & leadership: clear, concise escalation and cross‑functional alignment with suppliers and internal engineering teams.

NICE TO HAVES

Experience in server/data‑center hardware (servers, motherboards/baseboards, backplanes, PSUs) or PCBA‑centric assembly/test. Exposure to test stations (e.g., functional/end‑of‑line, burn‑in, AOI/X‑ray) and collaboration with test engineering on limits/sequences. Experience with SQL (querying MES/test databases) and/or Power BI for KPI automation. Bckgrnd in repair/remanufacture/RMA/refurbishment flows; authoring diagnostic & final repair standards.
