Drive development of innovative manufacturing processes and equipment, working in cross functional teams and with internal/external suppliers.
Lead development projects from first idea, over proof of principle to implementation into high-volume productions lines.
Work w/ internal Cell Design Team to drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM).
Setup proof of principle (POP) trials, design required parts/fixtures, execute experiments and analyze results based on data driven diagnostics and analyzation.
Own individual workstations/tools/processes, run/troubleshoot/recover by PLC, HMI or tool management software.
Lead design reviews and generate documentation, including machine and process specifications, DFMEA, PFMEA, process flow charts, part drawings.
Drive development of existing production equipment and processes by characterizing baseline performance and capability of each system and drive actions to maintain or improve performance as measured by product quality and tool availability.
Drive root cause analysis through process and equipment expertise, correlate with upstream/downstream processes.
