Job Description
Job Summary The Production Engineer supports and optimizes daily electroplating operations to ensure consistent product quality, efficient production flow, and compliance with safety and environmental standards. The role requires strong knowledge of plating processes, chemical bath control, equipment maintenance, and continuous improvement. Key Responsibilities 1. Process Parameter Control Perform daily checks on all process parameters (temperature, pH, current, bath levels, flow, pump condition). Audit operators to ensure each process step is carried out according to specification and SOP. Train operators on proper equipment usage: valve operation, pump priming and air-trap checks, chiller operation, and basic line troubleshooting. Ensure timely correction actions when deviations are found. 2. Process Optimization Identify opportunities to improve loading efficiency (fixture design, part orientation, racking method). Work with Production and Process Engineering to increase throughput and reduce bottlenecks. Support improvements on cycle time, workflow, and chemical usage. 3. Quality Troubleshooting Participate in root-cause investigations for defects (e.g., poor adhesion, uneven colour, stains, white spots, roughness). Work closely with QA to verify findings and implement corrective actions. Escalate complex technical issues to senior Process Engineers when deeper subject expertise is required. 4. Equipment & Line Readiness Support preventive maintenance activities for pumps, agitators, rectifiers, chillers, filtration systems, and plating/anodizing tanks. Assist maintenance team in diagnosing equipment abnormalities that affect production stability. Ensure calibration of basic instruments (pH meter, conductivity, thickness gauges) is done on time. 5. Documentation & Reporting Complete production forms, bath check sheets, process logs, and operator audit records accurately. Update SOPs and work instructions when process changes occur. Prepare daily reports on proce
