Manufacturing Engineer

Job Information

Position Summary:

Responsible for overseeing all welding operations, ensuring compliance with industry standards. This role involves managing welding projects, from initiation to Hand Over and ensuring quality control, safety, and continuous improvement in welding processes. A key objective is to build up the processes which will assure continues improvement on headcount reduction, efficiency increase, safety level and quality aspect improvement.

Role & Responsibility

Manufacturing:

• Optimizing current welding processes.
• Initiate process improvement initiatives to enhance efficiency and reduce cost using appropriate methodology. (Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, 5S…). Support BU’s on execution.
• Consult BU’s on root cause analysis and apply corrective actions for process deviations, using appropriate methodology (5 Whys, Ishikawa, Pareto Analysis, Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), 8D,…).
• Develop and implement welding process standards to streamline activities and improve performance.
• Establish clear technical specifications for suppliers and negotiate to minimize initial and eliminate additional costs.
• Coordinate the ECN implementation to production environment with different BU’s.
• Follow latest LRP and SIOP, identify resource risks as well as action needed to cope with production volumes.
• Making sure latest work standard is available for implementation
• Maintain MES/ERP data

New project Development & Engineering contribution:

• Lead welding projects from initiation to final Hand Over.
• Analyze engineering drawings, 3D CAD models, and Design for manufacturing (DFM) concepts.
• Conduct process failure mode and effects analysis (PFMEA) and tooling design validation.
• Participate in Factory Acceptance testing at the supplier site and provide the technical feedback making sure the delivered equipment is based on specification. Validates the equipment on Site acceptance test.
• Stay updated on welding technology advancements and industry best practices.
• Evaluate existing or future factory manufacturing processes, systems, equipment and technology used.
• Creating Welding Maps, Process related work instructions.
• Industrial welding line design, covering all needed equipment, standard times, headcount, other related infrastructure.
