Responsibilities What you’ll do...
Drive 'Voice of Manufacturing' throughout product development lifecycle to ensure robust, feasible, and manufacturable stamped panels.
Deliver production work – Meet all modeling timing & quality deliverables.
Create models for each die operation based off quality improvement requirements
Run FEA simulations, obtain results from models and analyze
Analyze data for correction loop implementation requirements
Create morphs
Modify die face models (spring back compensation / formability) until product quality intent is achieved
Create / Update line die face models to address nest, forming tool geometries, etc.
Optimize die face models iteratively to achieve required panel quality
Analyze and update holes & trim edges to address morphing results
Update stamping die process information for the communication of continuous improvement feedback for future model usage.
Perform simulations of stamping processes for comprehensive formability evaluation.
Optimize stamping processes: Perform draw and line die simulations and remain extensively involved in taking corrective measures to resolve stamping concerns through the refinement of product design and the stamping process until the launch of production to ensure that the manufactured stamping quality is in adherence to Ford standards.
Support die design and tooling problem resolution during tool construction and tryout.
