Job Description
How you will make an impact as a Manufacturing Engineer:
* Evaluating and understanding of the design intent, manufacturability, GD&T of components and assemblies specs for transition into the mass production.
* Reviewing design documents and specifications and working with the design team to finalize them.
* Detailed assessments and critical DFM review of engineering designs/drawings/specifications of components and assemblies.
* Providing analysis and recommendations for feature and manufacturing cost tradeoffs during the design phase.
* Identify the manufacturing technologies relevant to new design concepts, advising the design team on the best and effective means to execute.
* Identifying improvements and driving actions back to design or advancing processes working with the sourcing team at the supplier or tooling improvements.
* Evaluating and finalizing inspection and test requirements.
* Working with the sourcing team to develop strategy for these designs and provide estimates or review quotes of cost and tooling required to execute.
* Working with the sourcing team to develop comprehensive, cost-effective manufacturing strategies, including supplier selection, to drive product team decisions on sourcing to achieve cost targets.
* Working with design team and suppliers on DFMEA, PFMEA.
* Develop manufacturing cost models to feed advisory information to the design teams.
* Working with CM to drive quality and cost.
* Evaluating and finalizing on a scaled launch approach for design concepts, matching time and concepts to execute with appropriate maturity of design (e.g., machined approach to start through to a tooled approach in later time).
* Managing this maturity and progression through to full execution, including ROI justifications.
* Managing the manufacturing of prototypes used in new product development, including selecting the most appropriate prototype methods and executing prototype development to support new product design trials.
* Conceiving, designing, developing, and implementing fixtures and jigs for prototype and production line.
To be successful in this role you will need the following skills:
* BS Degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar with Manufacturing focus.
* 5+ years in a manufacturing engineering role which includes NPI or CM experience.
* Experience manufacturing electro-mechanical products at scale, including machined, cast, forged, PCBA, cables, and plastic components.
* Experience taking a product from launch to scale.
* Design skills including GD&T, design validation, and inspection.
* Demonstrated Pro-E/Creo and/or Solidworks proficiency.
* Experience in should-cost analysis and models to evaluate Cost of Goods.
* Experience with Six Sigma tools and Lean Manufacturing concepts.
