Yibi Precision is searching for a Manufacturing Engineer to contribute to our Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and precision metal components projects serving global industrial and technology clients. This position interfaces closely with engineering, tooling, production, quality, and commercial teams to assess manufacturing feasibility, develop prototypes, enhance processes, and oversee mass production.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate customer drawings, technical specifications, product requirements, and tolerances to determine manufacturing feasibility.
• Assist in design-for-manufacturing (DFM) reviews, sample development, pilot runs, and process validation for MIM and precision metal parts.
• Collaborate with tooling, production, and quality departments to identify risks and implement manufacturing improvements.
• Support new product introduction phases from initial technical appraisal through to steady mass production.
• Analyze manufacturing challenges and contribute to enhancing process stability, product uniformity, yield, and operational efficiency.
• Optimize manufacturing workflows concerning materials, tooling, forming, sintering, machining, surface finishing, and quality assurance.
• Compile and manage technical documentation, process logs, sample reports, and project updates.
• Coordinate internally to fulfill customer expectations, delivery schedules, and resolve technical issues.
• Promote continuous improvement activities targeting quality enhancement, cost reduction, on-time delivery, and production effectiveness.

Candidate Profile

• Experience in manufacturing related to precision metal components, MIM, CNC machining, powder metallurgy, tooling, or production of automotive, electronics, or medical device parts.
• Competence in interpreting technical drawings, product specifications, tolerances, and fundamental manufacturing prerequisites.
• Knowledge of production workflows, sample development procedures, process enhancement, quality control, and troubleshooting manufacturing problems.
• Strong practical problem-solving skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Effective communication abilities and a team-oriented mindset engaging with engineering, production, tooling, quality, and business units.
• Eagerness to learn MIM processes and assist project phases from technical assessments to mass manufacturing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior work with MIM, powder metallurgy, small precision metal parts, locking mechanisms, tooling components, automotive/electronics/medical device parts.
• Experience in design-for-manufacturing scrutiny, sample validations, process optimization, product launches, or scaling production volumes.
• Familiarity with quality and lean manufacturing standards such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949, APQP, PPAP, FMEA, 5S, or Lean Manufacturing methodologies.
• Proficiency in English communication, particularly for international or cross-border collaboration.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to contribute to innovative MIM and precision metal manufacturing projects supporting global high-technology sectors.
• Exposure to diverse applications including security systems, power tools, consumer electronics, automotive, and medical industries.
• A collaborative environment synergized across engineering, tooling, production, quality, and commercial teams.
• Career advancement potential within Yibi Group's precision manufacturing platform.
