1. Electrical + mechanical assembly

This is not just machining or general production. They want someone who has supported electronics, electromechanical assemblies, soldering, epoxy dispensing, tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing equipment.

2. Manufacturing process development

They need someone who can write and maintain work instructions, process flows, procedures, validation documents, and engineering documentation.

3. NPI / transfer to production

A big part of this job is taking products from design into production and making sure the process is scalable, repeatable, and documented.

4. APQP / PFMEA / Control Plans / MSA

These are important keywords. The job specifically calls for APQP documentation including process flow diagrams, PFMEA, control plans, MSA studies, and process validation protocols.

5. Validation experience

Ask about IQ/OQ/PQ, process qualifications, capability studies, and process control. That is a major clue this may be medical device or regulated manufacturing.

6. ISO 9001 / ISO 13485

ISO 13485 is medical-device quality. The job says medical-device manufacturing is preferred and specifically mentions ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 compliance.

7. Lean / Six Sigma / Kaizen / SPC / CAPA

They want continuous improvement, root cause, failure investigations, corrective actions, and cost reduction—not just design engineering.
