Wauseon Machine / McAlister Design and Automation
Manufacturing Engineer
Wauseon Machine / McAlister Design and Automation, Wauseon, Ohio, United States, 43567
Description
Process Development:
Design, develop and optimize machining processes, primarily focused on turning operations, to achieve optimal production efficiency and quality. Analyze existing manufacturing processes and identify areas for improvement to reduce waste, increase throughput, and enhance quality. Enhance manufacturing and inspection efficiency and effectiveness. Lead reverse engineering, continuous improvement for machining processes (SMED, TPM, Standard Work and 5S) Troubleshooting equipment and processing issues
CNC Programming:
Develop, evaluate, and improve CNC lathe manufacturing processes and programs. Collaborate with operators to troubleshoot and resolve machining issues.
Quality Assurance:
Implement quality control measures and conduct regular inspections to ensure compliance with specifications and standards. Analyze and address non-conformance issues, implementing corrective and preventive actions.
Collaboration:
Ensure best use of equipment and labor resources including equipment capability. Support estimating, sales and operations as required. This includes routing steps, times, determining the materials, tools, and gauge needs prior to releasing the orders to production. Work closely with customers to ensure manufacturability of new product designs and GD&T. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including production, quality, and supply chain, to meet production goals. Collaborate with maintenance team to ensure equipment functionality via planned TPM and repair support.
Documentation and Reporting:
Maintain accurate documentation of processes, tooling, and machine setups. Prepare reports on production metrics, process improvements, and project statuses for management review.
Training and Support:
Provide training and guidance to production staff on new processes and equipment. Assist in the development of work instructions and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Collaborate with maintenance team to ensure equipment functionality and improve capabilities. Enhance professional and technical skills by participating in educational workshops, seminars and conferences.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Minimum of 5 years of experience in manufacturing engineering, with a strong focus on precision machining and turning operations with various raw materials. Proven experience with CNC programming and operation of turning machines. Proficiency in CNC programming languages (e.g., G-code, M-code) and CAD/CAM software (MasterCam) and SolidWorks. Familiarity with machining tools, fixtures, and setups used in turning operations. Strong understanding of machining processes, materials, and quality control methodologies.
