MQE Product Engineer

Responsibilities

• 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)
• 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
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Reduce Production Defects
• with the MQE Team
• Lead
• product-level root-cause analysis for production defects and customer

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.
• 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.
• Establish Production
• Tracking from Material to Finished Goods

Implement

• end-to-end traceability: incoming material lots → PCBA serial numbers →
• sub-assembly → finished goods → shipment.
• 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.
• Deliver Key Milestones

About the Job

• The MQE Product Engineer is the product quality specialist
• Manager in improving the manufacturing quality of our products.
• 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:

What You'll Do

• returns using 8D, 5-Why, and fishbone methodologies.
• Define serialisation, labelling, and barcode/QR scanning requirements at each

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.

Education

Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.

Experience

Minimum of 3–5 years in product engineering, manufacturing quality, or a related engineering role for electronic products.

Language

Proficient in English (written and spoken); Bahasa Indonesia is an advantage for on-site collaboration in Batam.
