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.

* WHAT WE OFFER:

• Health care insurance (after probation)

• Long year services award

• Public holidays and company day bonus

• Year end bonus

• Team dinner

• Provided with on-the-job training, technical skills development, and company-specific industry courses.

* OTHER INFORMATION:

• Off all Saturdays, leave office at 4 pm on Friday.

• Free Shuttle bus from Ho Chi Minh / Bien Hoa / Ba Ria.
