Our client is a premier, automotive systems and components manufacturer supplying major global and local vehicle brands. The company is heavily investing in building up robust, in-house technical capabilities to optimize line processes and minimize external engineering dependencies.
This position is highly practical, active, and shopfloor-driven. Acting as the "Mechanical Doctor" for the assembly floor, the successful candidate will focus heavily on hands-on equipment fabrication, technical troubleshooting, and process stabilization.
the job.
Design and physically fabricate custom in-house tools including functional testers (electrical/mechanical), assembly jigs, precision fixtures, pressing tools, and manufacturing aids to directly reduce reliance on external automation vendors.
Independently diagnose and repair critical tester breakdowns, focusing heavily on electrical and control-related system faults. Provide rapid emergency response for specialized assembly machinery, specifically Heat Staking and Ultrasonic Welding equipment.
Execute thorough Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on chronic, repeated mechanical failures to eliminate shopfloor variations, such as heat staking inconsistencies, ultrasonic weld defects, and jig/fixture misalignments.
Read, map, and interpret complex electrical circuits, industrial sensors, and low-voltage control systems to actively support the enhancement and upgrade of internal automated tester mechanisms.
Collaborate closely with Production and Quality teams to close out daily operational challenges. Actively train, mentor, and upskill local maintenance technicians and junior engineers to foster long-term internal technical capabilities.
the experience.
A minimum of 5 to 8 years of direct, hands-on engineering experience within an automotive assembly, precision electronics, or high-volume discrete manufacturing environment.
Proven track record in physical machinery troubleshooting, circuit repair, jig/fixture fabrication, and functional electrical wiring.
Direct, practical familiarity with Heat Staking/Thermal Pressing and Ultrasonic Plastic Welding applications.
Absolute capability to interpret technical electrical diagrams, trace faults independently, and execute hardware repairs without relying on original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) or external service vendors.
Basic PLC logic familiarity (e.g., Siemens, Omron), experience in specialized automated tester development, or basic literacy in CAD software for structural jig concepts.
