Job Purpose: 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.
Duties & Responsibilities:
1. Creating manufacturing methods and sequences.
2. Quoting job requests for lead-time and cost.
3. Creating Milling/ turning CNC programs for components in 3/4/5 Axis.
4. Resolving non-conformance to ensure an in spec product is delivered to the customer.
5. Working with the customer to optimise the design of products (DfM) to ensure an optimum manufacturing method can be generated.
6. Optimise current manufacturing capability to ensure continuous reduction of waste, for example reduced tool wear or SMED.
7. Managing the introduction of new manufacturing capability into the workshop.
8. Influencing the creation and deployment of future manufacturing capability roadmap to ensure world-class processes are operated.
9. Develop and coach Technicians in manufacturing processes.
10. Operate manufacturing processes to deliver the customer deliverables.
11. Sharing lessons learned and best practices with the engineering teams.
Candidate Specification: The candidate will be required to:
1. Influence in a positive way following the MTC Right Way.
2. Solve complex manufacturing problems.
3. Communicate effectively at all levels of the organisation and across all departments.
4. Lead a team to deliver customer requirements.
5. Think strategically about the future manufacturing capabilities.
6. Work as part of a team to introduce new manufacturing capabilities.
7. Have a focus and passion for continuous improvement.
Key Deliverables:
1. Timely creation of manufacturing methods and sequences and associated aspects (see above).
2. Production of the customer deliverable.
Person Specification Competencies / Behaviours:
1. Excellent problem-solving and root cause analysis skills.
2. Lead by example and address poor behaviour when it is witnessed.
3. Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
4. A high level of technical and scientific knowledge and the ability to apply this knowledge to practical problems.
5. Good oral communication skills and confidence in dealing with a range of people, including clients, contractors, designers, directors and plant operators.
6. Precise and concise written communication skills.
7. The ability to work well within a team.
8. IT skills, including computer-aided design.
9. IT skills, including computer-aided manufacturing.
10. Creative and out of the box ability and thinking.
11. The ability to work under pressure.
12. Organisational skills, such as time and resource planning.
Desirable: A track record of continuous improvement and project management.
Technical Skills and Knowledge:
1. Significant and proven experience and technical expertise in a manufacturing discipline.
2. Degree qualified in an Engineering, Industrial, or Manufacturing discipline.
3. Experience of developing and producing method of manufacture.
4. Ability to translate customer requirements/ technical drawings into a MoM.
5. Ability to use CAD software (Solidworks/ NX or similar).
6. Ability to use CAM software (NX/ HyperMill or similar).
7. Desirable Lean manufacturing principles.
8. Experienced in using Solidworks and NX for CAD/CAM.
