Manufacturing Engineer (Special Tooling Program)

What Youll Do

Special Tooling Program (STP) manufacturing engineers will become the technical experts of STPs manufacturing processes provide training and support to plant personnel related to modeling and programming of machine shop equipment and provide insight to design engineers intended to improve the producibility of special tooling. Typical day-to-day responsibilities include spending time on the shop floors; learning manufacturing equipment capabilities capacities and limitations; supporting tooling fabrication issue resolution; and building relationships with tool makers and Tooling and Machine Design (TMD) design engineers. These activities will facilitate cost-efficient process improvements aimed at increasing onsite tool production capacity and expanding manufacturing capabilities while maintaining the highest standards for quality of product.

• Evaluate track and monitor tool fabrication processes machine shop equipment and facilities and identify opportunities to improve safety quality usability cost-efficiency and performance of operations and equipment.
• Develop and maintain metrics that visualize fabrication process equipment and facility performance.
• Evaluate production costs and causes for fabrication delays.
• Design systems and implement process improvements both tactical and strategic that enhance tool fabrication efficiency expand fabrication capability are cost-efficient reduce wastefulness and tool fabrication issues and ensure high product quality based on relevant metrics.
• Develop and mature strategic initiatives that enable increased onsite tool fabrication capacity and expanded fabrication/manufacturing capabilities.
• Assist with identifying and scoping equipment purchases to maximize return on investment and impacts to increasing fabrication capacity and capabilities.
• Assess develop requirements and facilitate improvements to planning and scheduling tools/software used to plan and execute work on special tooling.
• Provide insight and guidance on manufacturing techniques and other relevant manufacturing processes and skills.
• Assist tool makers crafts and TMD engineers with questions/issues related to tool manufacturability.
• Serve as a liaison with TMD to facilitate timely resolution of tooling fabrication issues.
• Review tooling designs for manufacturability and provide feedback to design engineers.
• Responsible for the maintenance development operation and documentation of the manufacturing systems required to produce Special Tooling.
• Assist in training plant personnel on Creo functionality and modeling techniques.
• Assist in training plant personnel on machine shop equipment programming and use with an emphasis on decreasing fabrication times while maintaining the quality of the end product.
