Job Responsibilities
Process Optimization: Analyze existing manufacturing processes to identify areas for improvement in efficiency, productivity, and cost‑effectiveness. Support Process Technicians as needed, troubleshoot and diagnose processing issues, develop and implement process improvements, conduct time studies, cycle time analysis, and process simulations to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
Team Collaboration: Work with internal and external teams to ensure proper tools, fixtures, and equipment are in place to meet productivity, quality, and cost objectives. Participate in tooling, fixture, gauge, and equipment development and design, and communicate program status with relevant stakeholders.
Quality Assurance: Establish quality control measures and standards to ensure automotive parts meet specifications and customer requirements. Develop and implement quality inspection processes, investigate root causes of quality issues, and implement corrective and preventive actions. Assist in APQP documentation such as Flow Charts, PFMEA, Standardized Work Instructions, and Open Issues Lists.
Equipment Maintenance and Reliability: Collaborate with maintenance teams to ensure manufacturing equipment is properly maintained and optimized for performance. Develop preventive maintenance programs, analyze equipment performance data, and implement reliability improvement initiatives to minimize downtime.
Safety and Regulatory Compliance: Ensure compliance with safety regulations, environmental standards, and industry best practices. Identify and mitigate safety hazards and ergonomic risks, conduct safety audits, and promote a culture of safety and continuous improvement.
Data Analysis and Reporting: Collect and analyze data related to manufacturing processes, generate reports and dashboards, and present findings and recommendations to management and stakeholders.
Continuous Improvement: Lead or participate in Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, Kaizen events, and other continuous improvement initiatives to drive efficiency gains and cost savings.
Planning: Participate in the development of annual business plans, long‑range plans, and other action‑oriented plans as directed by management.
Job Qualifications
Education: Engineering degree or equivalent experience.
Skills & Experience:
Technical Skills: 2‑4 years of Injection/Blow Molding experience in the automotive industry.
Understanding of Manufacturing Processes: Knowledge of casting, machining, forming, welding, and assembly processes used in automotive part production.
CAD/CAM Skills: Proficiency in CAD and CAM software for designing parts, creating tooling/fixtures, and programming CNC machines.
Process Optimization: Ability to analyze manufacturing processes, identify inefficiencies or bottlenecks, and develop process improvements.
Quality Control and Assurance: Understanding of SPC and quality assurance principles to ensure parts meet specifications.
Problem‑Solving: Strong skills to troubleshoot process issues and implement corrective actions.
Data Analysis: Proficiency in analyzing production metrics, quality indicators, and performance trends.
