If your skills, experience, and qualifications match those in this job overview, do not delay your application.
Purpose and Scope of Job: Determines best ways to achieve Client’s Machine Shop Manufacturing goals. Plans and designs manufacturing processes (Equipment, tools & fixtures, manpower, machining cell layout) to meet prescribed product quality, throughput, profitability, and safety standards. Maximizes efficiency & productivity of Machining cells by analyzing statistical data and making data driven decisions. Manages Corporate and/or Departmental projects that have a strong Manufacturing focus. Essential Functions (other duties may be assigned):
A. CNC Programming: Team Lead for CNC Programming (G & M Code) for machining cells (turning, milling, drilling & reaming, precision welding, bending, forming, sheet metal fabrication, etc). Prepare and maintain detailed Process Sheets, Process Maps, Standard Operating Procedures and Poka-Yoke systems. Design Jigs & Fixtures for Machine tools; Research work holding solutions that reduce setup times and eliminate rework. Work closely with Machine shop supervisors, quality assurance, and maintenance personnel to proactively prevent problems with machining cells and tooling/fixtures. Ensure all manufacturing safety regulatory policies and procedures are implemented and always maintained. B. Process Improvement: Use SPC techniques and systematic Problem-Solving methods as required to analyze data and ensure efficient production methods and quality results. Conduct time studies to analyze processes & validate recommended process changes. Actively champion & maintain a culture of 5S (Sort, Set and Order, Shine, Standardize and Sustain) in the machine shop. Design, Introduce and Maintain Lean Manufacturing practices such as Single Piece flow systems, Perfect First pass yield, Autonomation & Visual factory. Analyze and design Lean Machining cells using effective systems and simulation tools to optimize the use of space, equipment, tools, material, and personnel. Increase productivity, eliminate waste, and influence new designs to minimize overall cost of operation. Research emerging/advanced manufacturing technologies that could increase operational efficiency in the Machine Shop. C. Project management: Direct & Manage planning, execution & closeout of large (> $1 Million) Manufacturing projects. Be a resource to other company projects. Minimum Qualifications: Requires associate’s degree in mechanical engineering, Mechanical technology, or another technical field. Bachelor’s degree preferred but not required. Requires at least 10 years of experience as CNC Programmer in a fast-paced work environment or equivalent experience Excellent grasp of CNC programming. Lean Manufacturing experience. Basic understanding of Lean Manufacturing techniques (Kanban, Kaizen, 5-S, Poka-Yoke, Value Stream Mapping, etc.), tooling / jig & fixture design for machining operations, ability to read, understand & create complex Engineering drawings/Blueprints, GD & T Basic knowledge of Statistical Process Control. Exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies such as Waterjet, Wire EDM, Laser, Robotics, Gear Manufacturing, etc. desired but not essential. Any additional essential skills and/or knowledge as shown in the HRIS Career & Education > Skills section for incumbents holding this job title.
