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

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

  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.
