it ends up in the field, in the hands of people for whom failure isn't an

option.

About the Job

The MQE Product Engineer is the product quality specialist

within the MQE team. Reporting to the MQE Manager, you will work alongside the

Process Engineer and Test Engineer to support the Contract Manufacturing (CM)

Manager in improving the manufacturing quality of our products.

While the Process Engineer improves how products are built

and the Test Engineer maintains the test systems, the Product Engineer

safeguards the product itself - its quality acceptance, defect disposition

through the Material Review Board (MRB), production automation, cost of

quality, and full traceability from incoming material to finished goods.

In close support of the CM Manager at our contract

manufacturer in Batam, Indonesia, this role turns quality data into action:

dispositioning non-conforming product, driving defect reduction with the

Process and Test Engineers, and building the automation and tracking systems

that make product quality visible and controllable.

What You'll Do

1. Support the CM Manager on

Product Manufacturing Quality Engineering

• Coordinate

  with the CM Manager, providing supporting Production Engineering related

  task.

• Define

  product acceptance criteria, Production quality specifications for each

  radio model.

• Monitor

  product-level quality metrics - SMT defect rate (PPM), MI/functional pass

  yield, and outgoing quality (OQC/ORT) - and escalate risks to the MQE

  Manager and CM Manager.

• Supporting

  and reviewing Product transferring from design completion to Operation,

  engineering changes (ECN/ECO), and alternate parts.

2. Support the Material Review

Board (MRB) Process

• Serve

  as the Doodle Labs technical representative on the MRB at the contract

  manufacturer.

• Disposition

  non-conforming material and products - use-as-is, rework, repair, scrap,

  or return-to-vendor (RTV) - with documented engineering justification.

• Lead

  containment and purge actions for suspect lots and verify rework

  effectiveness before release.

• Maintain

  MRB records and disposition turnaround time (TAT) metrics, and drive

  supplier corrective actions (SCAR) for material-related defects.

3. Reduce Production Defects

with the MQE Team

• Lead

  product-level root-cause analysis for production defects and customer

  returns using 8D, 5-Why, and fishbone methodologies.

• Partner

  with the Process Engineer on process-related corrective actions and with

  the Test Engineer on test escape and test coverage gaps.

• Drive

  corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to closure with verified

  effectiveness, and feed lessons learned into design-for-manufacturing

  (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) reviews.

• Analyze

  test yield data with the Test Engineer to identify top failure modes and

  prioritize defect reduction projects.

4. Manage Cost of Quality

(CoQ)

• Establish

  and track Cost of Quality: scrap, rework, retest, MRB holding, warranty

  returns, and inspection costs.

• Prioritize

  improvement projects by CoQ impact and report monthly savings to the MQE

  Manager and CM Manager.

• Reduce

  rework loops and material waste through poka-yoke and upstream defect

  prevention with the Process Engineer.

5. Establish Production

Tracking from Material to Finished Goods

• Implement

  end-to-end traceability: incoming material lots → PCBA serial numbers →

  sub-assembly → finished goods → shipment.

• Define

  serialisation, labelling, and barcode/QR scanning requirements at each

  production stage with the contract manufacturer.

• Build

  WIP tracking visibility so any unit can be located and its build history,

  test results, and material lots retrieved on demand.

• Enable

  rapid lot isolation for quality alerts, recalls, and engineering change

  cut-in tracking.

6. Deliver Key Milestones

• First Month: Complete product quality baseline for one high-volume

  model - defect Pareto, test yield, CoQ snapshot, and traceability gaps -

  documented in English and reviewed with the MQE Manager and CM Manager.

• First Three Months: Collaborate with CM manager to Stand up a

  functioning MRB cadence with disposition Turn Around Time (TAT) tracking;

  propose the material-to-FG production tracking plan and first automation

  project with ROI.

• First Six Months: Deliver serial-number-level traceability for at least

  one product line.

Who You Are

• Proven

  experience in product engineering, manufacturing quality engineering, or a

  related role for electronic products, preferably with contract

  manufacturers.

• Experience

  supporting or leading MRB: non-conforming material disposition,

  containment, rework verification, and supplier corrective actions (SCAR).

• Skilled

  in structured problem-solving: 8D, CAPA, 5-Why, and fishbone analysis.

• Exposure

  to production automation for electronics: automated data capture,

  vision/AOI data utilisation, barcode/RFID scanning, or MES integration.

• Experience

  implementing traceability or production tracking systems (MES, ERP

  shop-floor modules, or serial number tracking) from material to finished

  goods.

• Experience

  establishing quality metrics (PPM, FPY, yield) and Cost of Quality

  tracking.

• Strong

  analytical skills with data-driven decision-making; comfortable with

  Excel-based analysis, dashboards, and workflow automation tools.

• A

  team player who thrives in a matrixed setup - reporting to an MQE Manager

  while supporting a CM Manager and collaborating daily with Process and

  Test Engineers.

• Knowledge

  of radio or RF product manufacturing and IPC-A-610 acceptance criteria is

  a strong advantage.

Required

Qualifications
