Headcount:1
Position:Manufacturing Engineer
Manufacturing Engineers manage and assess risk of Product Life Cycle for products throughout all Phase Gate processes by identifying exposure to key issues for each Phase Gate.
Phase ResponsibilitiesPhase 1 (Concept):Provides early vendor and supplier input along with input of new and/or similar manufacturing processes of concepts presented, highlighting probability of success through risk assessments and mitigation.
Phase 2 (Feasibility):Gives early input to engineering using DFx and DFMA processes and identifying Key Supplier requirements. Estimates cycle times based on Proof-of-Concept designs and creates processes for manufacturing based on FMEA. Develops preliminary QA plan for 1st article inspection and process tracking.
Phase 3 (Development):Drives PLC requirements and performs proof of manufacturing on beta systems, ranking of supplier selection, i.e., weak and unique single source conditions. Creates robust test plans for manufacturing and scales up production for release to manufacturing. Develops and designs tooling and fixtures based on capital equipment requirements and updates risk and mitigation plan.
Phase 4 (Scale-Up):Continues to drive PLC requirements and demonstrates all proof of manufacturing activities and PLC management, including ECO Management, QA metrics and Key Performance Indicators, i.e., (First Pass Yield, In Box Quality, Out of Box Quality, Material Obsolescence, Scrap and BOM management, etc.)
Job Responsibilities:
Providesustaining engineering expertise and project management of in-sourcing strategies, including sustaining production requirements, quality improvement, and project management such as product transition, cost reduction, inventory reduction, and/or sourcing change.
Execution of manufacturing quality improvement strategy through final functional verification process (Final Test), managing non-conforming parts in process (NCMR), and closed loop corrective action (CLCR).
Development of Manufacturing Documentation, Tooling, and Test Fixtures for both contract manufacturing and operations. Identify and execute on opportunities for Gross Margin improvements through Risk and Mitigation plans per PLC and sourcing strategies.
Lead projects related to Best Cost Manufacturing aligned with business objectives. Examples may include Insourcing, Outsourcing, and/or Cost Reductions - Value Engineering.
Lead product ownership from Proof of Manufacturing through Obsolescence.
BOM Maintenance, Engineering Changes, Design Improvements, Lean Manufacturing, DMAIC, DFMA and DFx in NPI.
