Senior / Industrial Engineer (MES) - Bedok

Sanmina Corporation (Nasdaq: SANM) is a global powerhouse in integrated manufacturing solutions serving the fastest growing segments of the global Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) market. We are a global engine providing the end-to-end manufacturing backbone for the world's most essential and innovative brands. Whether it's autonomous vehicles, life-saving medical tech, next-gen aerospace, or AI/cloud infrastructure - our integrated solutions don’t just meet standards—they redefine them.

Summary

We are seeking an analytical, systems-driven Manufacturing Execution System (MES) Engineer to take ownership of the configuration, operational deployment, and continuous optimization of our 42Q MES platform on the production floor. In this role, you will tailor MES workflows to product-specific manufacturing lines, troubleshoot real-time line system issues, and serve as the plant's primary technical liaison to the Corporate 42Q Development Team. You will maintain Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) configurations, ensure compliance with stringent medical software validation standards (ISO 13485), analyze production and yield data, and partner with cross-functional manufacturing teams to implement digital process improvements.

What You'll Do

• Configure and deploy 42Q MES parameters, routings, and settings to align with product-specific manufacturing requirements across shop-floor lines.

• Serve as the primary plant liaison to collaborate with, provide technical feedback to, and escalate site enhancement requests to the Corporate 42Q Development Team.

• Maintain, monitor, and troubleshoot the site's active 42Q MES environment to secure high platform uptime and peak performance.

• Ensure the continuous accuracy and integrity of Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) setups, traceability rules, and medical software validation documentation.

• Rapidly investigate and resolve real-time line system escalations to minimize shop-floor disruption and downtime.

• Analyze production execution data, cycle times, and yield trends from the MES system to identify operational bottlenecks and drive yield improvements.

• Create, review, and maintain comprehensive Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and technical documentation governing MES usage.

• Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to identify and execute digital continuous improvement initiatives utilizing advanced MES functionalities.

• Train, coach, and mentor junior technical staff and end-users on MES standard practices and system navigation.

• Provide coverage and operational stand-in support for team members as needs arise.

• Carry out additional systems engineering and operational support duties as assigned by leadership.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Industrial, Manufacturing, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

• Minimum 5 years of relevant engineering experience in a PCBA, SMT, or Box Build electronics manufacturing environment, featuring direct hands-on experience in MES administration and deployment.

• Deep familiarity with PCBA, SMT, and electromechanical box-build manufacturing workflows and shop-floor principles.

• Hands-on background in manufacturing data analysis, dashboarding, and KPI reporting.

• Proven project management capability with strong interpersonal and cross-functional communication skills.

• Practical understanding of industrial automation interfaces, shop-floor control architectures, and scanning/tracking hardware.

• Strong working knowledge of medical device manufacturing quality standards (such as ISO 13485) and Computerized System Validation (CSV) / software validation protocols is highly preferred.

• Foundational understanding of enterprise system integration methodologies (e.g., ERP-to-MES data bridges, equipment API connections) is an added advantage.

• High proficiency in Microsoft Office applications or Google Workspace tools.

How to Stand Out

The ideal candidate unites deep shop-floor electronics manufacturing fluency (PCBA/SMT/Box Build) with specialized expertise in 42Q MES deployment and medical validation governance. You differentiate yourself through a track record of bridging the gap between corporate software developers and shop-floor operations, a structured approach to CSV and ISO 13485 compliance, and the ability to leverage data-driven MES insights and API integrations to automate line controls and eliminate downtime.
