Responsibilities
Process Design & Implementation: Lead the development, optimization, and standardization of powertrain assembly processes for engines, transmissions, and electrified drivetrains.
Operational Excellence: Drive initiatives to enhance efficiency, reduce cycle times, and minimize scrap. Take ownership of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) improvements through data-driven analysis.
Advanced Problem Solving: Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for complex production issues and quality escapes using structured methodologies (8D, 5 Whys, Fishbone). Implement robust permanent corrective actions.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as the primary manufacturing engineering liaison between Product Design, Quality, and Production teams to ensure seamless New Product Introductions (NPI).
Documentation & Compliance: Author and approve Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Work Instructions, Process Flow Diagrams, and PFMEAs. Ensure all control plans are strictly followed and updated.
Lean & Six Sigma: Lead Lean Manufacturing projects, including Value Stream Mapping (VSM), 5S audits, and Kaizen events to eliminate waste on the assembly line.
Equipment & Tooling Management: Manage the specification, selection, and installation of new assembly equipment, automated cells, and specialized fixtures. Oversee vendor management from procurement to final runoff.
Design for Excellence: Conduct and lead Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews, providing critical feedback to design teams to reduce assembly complexity.
Validation & Launch: Oversee the installation and commissioning of new lines. Lead validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) and ensure processes meet all safety and quality standards before mass production.
Mentorship: Provide technical guidance and mentorship to entry-level engineers and technicians.
Requirements
Education: Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related technical field.
Experience: 2-5 years of professional experience in an automotive manufacturing environment, specifically focused on powertrain or complex mechanical assembly.
