# Sr. Manager, Process Engineering **Company**: Magic Leap **Location**: Austin, Texas **Work arrangement**: onsite **Experience**: senior **Job type**: full-time **Salary**: $140,000-$155,000 USD **Category**: Engineering **Industry**: Technology **Apply**: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/magicleap/jobs/7967972?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply **Canonical**: https://yubhub.co/jobs/job_46ec3197-aa1 ## Description A new paradigm of computing Magic Leap is a pioneer in Augmented Reality (AR) optics, display systems, platforms, devices, and services. It has developed ultra-lightweight waveguides and display systems that advance what is possible in AR. The Senior Manager of Process Engineering will be a critical leader responsible for developing and scaling robust manufacturing processes that enable consistent product performance, yield, and reliability. This role demands a strategic leader with deep experience in translating complex technologies into stable, high-performing production processes who can effectively bridge the gap between development and high-volume manufacturing. The leader will build and lead a high-performing team of process engineers, driving process capability, reducing variation, and advancing continuous improvement across critical manufacturing workflows. Success in this role requires strong technical depth, structured problem-solving skills, and the ability to influence across organisational boundaries to accelerate learning cycles and improve manufacturing readiness. Key Responsibilities: - Build and lead a high-performing process engineering team supporting critical manufacturing processes and product performance requirements. - Serve as the primary technical and operational point of contact for process-related readiness, capability, and performance across development and manufacturing environments. - Establish clear, quantifiable manufacturing readiness expectations for process capability, yield performance, variation reduction, and process stability. - Provide direct management and strategic guidance to the core team of process engineers, enabling strong technical execution and talent development. - Ensure alignment across Product Development, Equipment Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Operations to drive design-for-manufacturability and scalable process integration. - Develop and execute process strategies that enable predictable yield, throughput, and product performance, including CTF / CTQ, consistency. - Define and drive process capability metrics, including Cp, Cpk, defectivity, and process variation improvement. - Lead structured root cause investigations to resolve yield excursions, reliability risks, and process performance gaps. - Establish robust process control strategies, including SPC, DOE, DFSS, FMEA, and monitoring frameworks that enable rapid learning cycles. - Drive continuous improvement initiatives that improve process capability, cycle time, cost efficiency, and manufacturability. Requirements: - 10+ years of experience in process engineering within advanced technology manufacturing environments such as semiconductor, photonics, optics, display, and related industries. - Demonstrated expertise in developing, characterising, and optimising complex manufacturing processes, including variation reduction, yield improvement, and process capability enhancement. - Proven ability to manage and lead high-performing technical teams of process engineers, fostering strong execution, accountability, and continuous improvement. - Excellent communication, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills, capable of setting expectations with both internal stakeholders and external partners. - BS/MS in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or equivalent). It's exciting if you also have: - Strong experience applying data-driven methodologies, including DOE, DFSS, SPC, FMEA, and statistical analysis to improve process stability and performance. - Demonstrated success driving root cause investigations and implementing corrective actions to resolve yield excursions and reliability risks. - Ability to translate complex technical challenges into actionable plans that improve manufacturability, cycle time, and cost efficiency. ## Skills ### Required - process engineering - manufacturing process development - yield improvement - process capability enhancement - team leadership - communication - problem-solving - cross-functional collaboration - data-driven methodologies - statistical analysis --- Source: [Apply at job-boards.greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/magicleap/jobs/7967972?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
