Job Positions

Brief Introduction of the Department

【Process Engineering Department】

Process Engineering Department serves as the vital bridge between product design and final production. In an industrial or manufacturing context, its primary mission is to design, implement, and optimize the sequences and methods required to transform raw materials into finished goods as efficiently as possible.
The core responsibilities of the department revolve around process design and optimization. Engineers in this unit are tasked with defining the "how" of manufacturing: selecting the right machinery, designing the layout of the production line, and establishing standard operating procedures (SOPs). They constantly monitor production metrics to identify bottlenecks, reduce waste, and ensure that cycle times are minimized without compromising quality.
The team is also responsible for "industrialization"—taking a prototype and scaling it up for mass production. This involves rigorous testing, equipment validation, and troubleshooting technical failures on the shop floor.

Department Staff Number

- Less than 5 people

Internship Job Description

The candidate will gain insight into and be assigned sub-tasks for the following:

- Production process planning and workstation design: Designing manufacturing sequences and ergonomic workplace layouts.

- Manufacturing layout planning: Developing and optimizing the physical arrangement of production lines and equipment.

- Identifying and implementing process improvements: Focused on cost reduction, waste minimization, and increasing overall efficiency.

- Cross-functional collaboration: Working with other departments (Engineering, Production, Quality Assurance, Logistics) to ensure the seamless integration of new processes, technologies, and equipment.

- Process capability studies and statistical analysis: Data collection and analysis to monitor performance and ensure production goals are met.

- Implementation of improvement ideas: Utilizing LEAN and KAIZEN tools and methodologies to drive operational excellence.

- Detailed analysis and evaluation of existing processes: Identifying areas for improvement and preparing formal proposals for solutions.

- Monitoring and analyzing Process Performance Indicators (KPIs): Tracking metrics such as cycle time, yield, and scrap rates, then developing strategies to meet or exceed targets.

- Participation in multi-functional teams: Contributing to root cause analysis and the development of corrective and preventive actions.
