Essential Functions

Determines processes for sequences of manufacturing operations on new & existing products in accordance with manufacturing requirements
Ensure that current equipment, tooling, and processes meet customer quality requirements and are ergonomically sound for manufacturing
Responsible for designing tooling and implementing assignments affecting manufacturing equipment and processes to achieve desired production goals and quality standards
Develops innovative solutions to complex engineering and manufacturing production problems through identification and implementation of advanced manufacturing processes including conducting process analysis, applying knowledge of product design, fabrication, assembly, tooling, and materials, conferring with suppliers, and soliciting observations from the operators/production technicians
Refines and enhances processes by applying continuous improvement and key Lean manufacturing / production principles and techniques to areas of production.
Recommend product changes / improvements to Product Engineers
Improves manufacturing efficiency by analyzing and planning workflow, space requirements, and equipment layout. Coordinates input that may cross multiple teams or areas; makes recommendations and implements changes.
Assures product and process quality by designing testing methods, testing finished product and process capabilities, and establishing standards to confirm and validate manufacturing process requirements.
Determines root cause of failure using statistical methods (e.g., design of experiment, SPC) that may result in changes in design, tolerances, or processing methods
Evaluates capital equipment investments and prepare cost justifications. Designs and prepares concept drawings of new equipment or modifications to existing equipment. Manages the overall implementations of capital equipment projects
Develops tooling and fixtures for new products and processes and works with tooling vendors to supply such designs
Identifies and implements solutions for issues relating to safety, quality, productivity, and cost reductions
Prepares documentation for new manufacturing processes and engineering procedures.
Shares specialized knowledge with others. Represents Company on specific projects, leads and participates in project teams.
