- Work with engineering on special design considerations.
- Review designs with Engineering before they are released to the floor to ensure ease of manufacture and identify problems and offer suggestions for design improvements (product review kick-off meetings).
- Document and deliver feedback to Engineering and other departments for corrections and/or areas of improvement.
- Develop and improve manufacturing processes and procedures to optimize quality, efficiency, and safety
- Be a change-agent with functional leaders to lower total overall costs.
- Makes recommendations & suggestions regarding materials, materials sourcing, specifications, techniques, practices, issues, or anything quality related.
- Collaborate with Design and Test Engineering teams to ensure seamless transition of products from design to production
- Create and maintain detailed work instructions, process documentation, and manufacturing routings
- Lead root cause analysis and corrective action efforts related to product or process non-conformances
- Design and specify fixtures, tools, and equipment to support manufacturing and assembly operations
