This role will involve engineering Additive Manufacturing processes from job request through to component delivery, including but not limited to:
Main Responsibilities:
1. Creating manufacturing methods and sequences.
2. Quoting job requests for lead-time and cost.
3. Creating robust build files that will be used to produce components across a series of additive machines.
4. Managing technical projects from initial quote through to a delivered product.
5. Resolving non-conformance to ensure an in-specification product is delivered to the customer.
6. Working with the customer to optimise the design of products (DfM) to ensure an optimum manufacturing method can be generated.
7. Optimising current manufacturing capability to ensure continuous reduction of waste.
8. Managing the introduction of new manufacturing capability into the workshop.
9. Influencing the creation and deployment of future manufacturing capability roadmap to ensure world-class processes are operated.
10. Developing and coaching Technicians in manufacturing processes.
11. Operating manufacturing processes to deliver the customer deliverables.
12. Sharing lessons learned and best practices with the engineering teams.
The ME role is to turn a customer demand (a specification) into a method of manufacture that can then be executed to meet the customer demand within the required lead-time and cost. The ME has responsibility to continuously improve manufacturing methods in order to reduce lead-time, reduce cost and minimise the chance of non-conformance. As highly skilled practitioners, MEs are expected to be involved in the operation of the manufacturing processes to deliver the final product. Working with the research themes, their practical insight will be used to influence technology roadmaps to ensure that future manufacturing capability is developed and deployed into the Workshop to further optimise our manufacturing methods. The role also includes the operation of the manufacturing processes to deliver the final product. Manufacturing Engineers will manage non-conformance, to create methods to bring non-conforming product back within specification.
