Jobs at Knowles Corporation

Lead development, optimization, and control of high-reliability capacitor manufacturing processes. Drive yield, throughput, quality, and cost improvements using DOE, SPC, PFMEA, Lean, and Six Sigma. Provide hands-on floor support, root-cause analysis, tooling design, equipment validation, and cross-functional collaboration to stabilize and scale production.

Design and develop acoustic test solutions for production and R&D. Follow hardware processes from requirements to PCB layout and calibration. Build and validate electronic test systems, perform statistical analysis to characterize acoustic tests, and collaborate with cross-functional teams locally and internationally.

Hands-on process engineer responsible for sputter deposition tool sustainment, running experiments, yield improvement, training operators, authoring work instructions, participating in MRB/FRB root cause investigations, and supporting ISO/ESD/OSHA compliance in a clean-room manufacturing environment.

Own the Think Film product line to drive revenue, profitability, and market growth. Lead cross-functional teams, secure design wins, develop product roadmaps, support new business from concept through ramp-up, run SIOP and operational cadences, and collaborate with sales and marketing to translate customer and market feedback into growth initiatives.

Lead and improve ceramic plate fabrication processes (batching, casting, green plate fabrication, bake out, firing, finishing) to drive yield and efficiency. Implement SPC, FMEA, MSA, and qualification plans, mentor engineers, collaborate across transfer, operations, and metallization teams, update procedures, troubleshoot production issues, and evaluate suppliers and maintenance impacts.

Lead introduction, debugging, maintenance, and upgrades of automated MLCC production equipment. Support process optimization (DoE), SPC control, documentation, training, and 24/7 production reliability.

Manage a team of process engineers to develop and optimize manufacturing processes, introduce automation, ensure process capability and stability, define control plans and PFMEAs, drive yield/scrap financial targets, manage production qualifications, and support cross-functional NPI and capital projects.

Coordinate and expedite material and product flow through manufacturing to meet delivery schedules. Create and monitor production schedules, resolve shortages, coordinate with purchasing/stockroom, generate production reports, and ensure WIP moves per plan to meet On-Time Delivery KPIs.

Lead governance and continuous improvement of master item data (BOMs, routings, compliance, shipping). Manage Philippines-based data entry team, partner with Engineering/Operations/IT, support ERP migration to Oracle, enforce data standards, monitor quality metrics, and drive process improvements.

Lead master item data governance and lifecycle across engineering and ERP, manage a Philippines data team, drive data quality, support Oracle ERP transition, and partner cross-functionally on BOMs, routings, compliance, and shipping data.

Lead and improve ceramic plate fabrication processes (batching, casting, green plate, bake out, firing, finishing). Drive yield and efficiency improvements using data collection, SPC, FMEA, and MSA. Mentor engineers, coordinate with operations and metallization teams, execute qualification plans for processes and equipment, troubleshoot production issues, and support supplier and maintenance decisions.

Lead day-to-day capacitor production operations to meet safety, quality, delivery, cost, and productivity targets. Drive Lean/Six Sigma continuous improvement, stabilize processes, manage P&L elements, support product introductions, and develop shop-floor teams. Coordinate with cross-functional partners (Quality, Engineering, Maintenance, Production Control, Sales) and enforce standard work and operational discipline.

Lead governance and maintenance of master item data (BOMs, routings, compliance, shipping) across the item lifecycle. Manage a Philippines-based data entry team, partner with Engineering/Operations/IT on data requirements and ERP migration (Oracle), enforce governance, monitor quality metrics, and drive continuous improvement and SOPs.

Hands-on process engineer supporting sputter deposition and pre-sputter cleaning. Sustain and run deposition tools, lead yield-improvement projects, train operators, perform experiments, participate in MRB/FRB root cause investigations, author work instructions, and maintain compliance with ISO/OSHA/ESD cleanroom requirements.

Support product and process quality in a manufacturing environment: identify and resolve nonconformities, lead improvement projects, maintain quality metrics, support new product qualification and FAIs, investigate customer complaints, and maintain quality documentation and compliance.
