ESSENTIAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
• Define the process operations, and correct sequencing of these operations, to support the manufacture of quality mechanical components and assemblies.
• Design and develop fixtures, tooling, and gages using Solidworks as the primary CAD system, using best practices including DFM, DFA, DTC and stack analysis. May include the design and development of engineering and production test fixtures. A portion of this effort will require a working knowledge of AutoCad.
• Define the product configuration and part geometry in fully dimensioned 2-D drawings directly linked to 3-D files for each manufacturing operation. A solid understanding of GD&T is a must.
• Manage Bill of Materials, including a full definition of material selection and raw material configuration.
• Ensure proper documentation of design revisions for the full Technical Data Package including CAD, BOM, engineering masters, routings, etc.
• Initiate and participate in cross-functional design reviews to ensure new designs are optimized for manufacturability. Support the development and execution of project timelines.
• Provide technical input to Applications Engineering in support of process improvements to streamline the process from Design to finish product.
• Provide manufacturing floor support processing issues and promote continuous improvement initiatives.
• Work within a team that specifies, evaluates, justifies, and implements capital equipment projects throughout the plants and to continuously strive to evaluate technology as to its application at providing the most efficient process.
SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES
