Human Resources Assistant | Arts Enthusiast | Creative Storyteller
Main Responsibilities
Lead the design, validation, and optimization of stamping processes for ladder frame structural components.
Define press selection (600T–6,000T transfer and tandem presses), die design parameters, and forming strategies for HSLA, AHSS, and UHSS steels.
Oversee forming simulations (AutoForm, PAM-STAMP, DYNAFORM) to ensure manufacturability, springback control, and cost efficiency.
Drive tooling standardization across global ladder frame programs to reduce lead time and cost.
Act as the technical authority for stamping operations, leading troubleshooting of forming issues (splits, wrinkles, galling, springback).
Develop and enforce best practices for die setup, press operation, and tool maintenance.
Support production ramp-up, ensuring throughput, OEE, and safety metrics are achieved.
Coordinate with welding, e-coat, and assembly teams to ensure stamped parts flow seamlessly downstream.
Quality & Compliance
Lead dimensional quality control for ladder frame parts, implementing SPC, MSA, and GD&T adherence.
Own PPAP, APQP, and PFMEA deliverables for stamping processes.
Collaborate with quality teams to implement corrective actions and ensure compliance with OEM specifications.
Conduct root cause analysis and develop countermeasures to reduce scrap, rework, and customer returns.
Manage relationships with steel suppliers, tool shops, and press equipment vendors.
Support sourcing decisions, supplier audits, and technical reviews for stamping feasibility.
Act as the stamping subject matter expert in OEM technical reviews, providing justification on capability and limits.
Represent stamping engineering in cross‑functional program teams (manufacturing, product engineering, supply chain).
Introduce innovative solutions such as servo‑press optimization, digital twins, and predictive analytics for die wear.
Drive lean initiatives, cost‑reduction programs, and yield improvement projects.
Mentor engineers, toolmakers, and production staff, developing organizational stamping expertise.
Standardize best practices across multiple plants/programs for stamping consistency.
