Description

JOB SUMMARY:

To analyze product designs of parts and assemblies to determine the manufacturability of components, assemblies, and tooling and/or provides technical guidance in the solution of manufacturing customer related difficulties or improvements. Develops NC processes and programs to support the manufacture of detail parts of various size and complexity.

Conducts methods and systems studies to optimize machining programs and supporting manufacturing processes. Researches, improves and cost justifies manufacturing techniques, processes, and procedures to reduce costs while maintaining schedules and improving the product.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Proficiency in CATIA V5/V6 to model cutting paths and program for 2 to 5 axis machines including mills, lathe's and router's.
• Collaborates with Engineering regarding production capabilities, tooling and build plan methodology and gives input/feedback on associated design criteria; analyzes engineering design to determine manufacturability of components and assemblies.
• Determines manufacturing processes, tooling methodology, discrete manufacturing operations and associated time standards to be used to produce new parts/assemblies from detail component fabrication thru job level installation; authors and maintains process plans for shop floor methods/work instructions.
• Supports integration of new components and assemblies into manufacturing. Develops learning curve and actual hour projections for new program production incorporation; analyzes actual performance and makes necessary process improvement recommendations.
• Reviews manufacturing Bill of Material (MBOM) to break engineering product structure into logical manufacturing methodology and sequence to enable MRP processes for order release, scheduling, and purchased component sourcing activities.
• Independently and in coordination with NC Machine OEM's and Tool Manufacturer's, identifies tool solutions to support new and current production manufacturing requirements.
• Provides technical guidance to initiate and drive Root Cause / Corrective Action (RCCA) on production issues related to engineering design, material, tooling, specifications, and processes.
• Analyzes/Interprets engineering drawing, manufacturing operation sequence, tooling function, and process specifications and issues engineering change requests (ECR) to improve or eliminate manufacturing issues in sustaining production operations.
• Works with cross functional personnel to analyze and solve production flow issues stemming from sequence of work, balance of tasks, tooling/equipment constraints, and manpower allocation/training.
• Identifies, justifies, and implements new technology and manufacturing techniques to improve safety/ergonomics, reduce manufacturing cost labor, material, inventory, scrap, and improve product/process quality.
• Gathers, analyzes, and summarizes production process data for their use in valuing and prioritizing process continuous improvement opportunities; utilizes Lean/CI methodologies to lead, implement, and track improvements and to conduct check and adjust activities to verify sustainment.
