PAINTING/ COATING ENGINEER

JOB PURPOSE:
Develop and optimize manufacturing processes by analyzing and solving product development issues through analytical thinking, conducting trial builds to improve product appearance and dimensional accuracy, and preparing high-quality samples along with PPAP deliverables throughout the development phase.
JOB DESCRIPTION:
Develop, validate, and optimize painting processes for carbon fiber/ composites parts (pretreatment, primer, clear coat).
Define key process parameters (temperature, flow rate, pressure, viscosity, paint thickness, curing time).
Select and approve paints, thinners, and coating materials in coordination with suppliers and R&D.
Establish Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Work Instructions (WI), and Control Plans.
Conduct process capability studies (Cp, Cpk) and implement DOE for process optimization.
Provide technical support to daily painting operations (manual, robotic, or electrostatic systems).
Troubleshoot paint defects (orange peel, paint flow, pinholes, different color, dust, etc.) and implement corrective actions.
Monitor and control process parameters (paint booth conditions, oven temperature, humidity, air balance).
Ensure proper maintenance and calibration of paint application and curing equipment.
Participate in product and color development stages with design and R&D teams.
Validate new paint materials, colors, and coating systems during pre-production trials.
Support painting process setup for new models, tooling, and fixtures.
Approve surface finish and appearance per customer standards (color, glossiness,…).
Bachelor’s degree in Industrial/Mechanical/ Chemical Engineering or a related field desired. Equivalent education and experience required.
Hands-on experience in using 2D/3D software.
Hands-on experience in manufacturing.
Understanding of paint system parameters (viscosity, film thickness, curing profile, humidity control)
Familiar with paint defect diagnosis and corrective techniques.
Knowledge of automotive paint standards (appearance, adhesion, corrosion, durability).
Experience with robotic painting systems (Yaskawa, etc.) is an advantage.
Working knowledge of APQP, FMEA, MSA, SPC, and PPAP is desired.
