What are the responsibilities and job description for the Engineer I position at Hendrickson?
Job Summary:
Responsible for the implementation of manufacturing product & processes to meet safety, quality, delivery, & cost standards. Manufacturing Engineers work closely with design engineering & other operation support team members to smoothly launch new parts into manufacturing production. Manufacturing Engineers implement new part standards through completing APQP elements, designing tooling & fixturing, & conducting 3P event pilot runs. Manufacturing engineers are to make decisions based on the priority of safety first, quality second, delivery third, & cost/continuous improvement fourth.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities:
Ø Set up new manufacturing processes to achieve safety, quality, delivery, & cost performance
Ø Implement Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) elements for production parts
Ø Lead Production Preparation Process (3P) events & pilot runs for new part implementation
Ø Implement equipment & tooling needed for production needs
Ø Create & modify programs for production equipment such as robotics, CNC machines, lasers, press brakes, scales, machine vision, & torque systems
Ø Manage initial training of operators on new part and new process launches
Ø Manage the new part handoff from manufacturing engineering to production
Ø Manage Goal Deployment Plan (GDP) bowler & action plans
Ø Complete cost estimations on parts & processes
Ø Establish new processes using lean principles & continuous improvement methods
Ø Enter & verify work center router locations, times, & lot sizes
Ø Perform time study analysis & cycle time reduction through waste reduction methods
Ø Create work instruction, process flow diagrams, process failure mode effect analysis (PFMEA), & other process documents
Ø Work with quality in implementing control plans, inspection sheets, & FLIP forms
Ø Problem-solve identified issues with effective & sustainable corrective actions
Ø Implement error-proofing devices (poka-yoke) to ensure product quality
Ø Research & implement new technology to mitigate production risk
Ø Implement cost reduction projects & other capital expenditures
Ø Complete safety incident reports & turn in to HR within 24 hours of injury for both OSHA recordables & near misses involved in new product launches
Ø Conduct initial ergonomic analysis to set up new processes for safe operation
Ø Work with operators, leads, & support team to identify & implement safety improvements
Ø Request ordering of indirect material & supplies as needed through purchase requisitions
Ø Investigate & countermeasure scrap & lost part issues
Ø Implement & sustain standards outlined in Quality Management System (QMS)
Ø Set up work center 5S condition to be sustained by production
Ø Complete verification & documentation of permanent & temporary process changes
Ø Develop preventative maintenance (PM) activities & frequencies for equipment & tooling
Ø Develop total productive maintenance (TPM) activities for equipment & tooling
Ø Complete plant layout designs & updates as needed
Ø Participate in layered process audits, shop floor audits, & other audits as assigned
Ø Assist in coaching & training supervisors, leads, & operators in lean/continuous improvement
Ø Assist in coaching team members in corrective action & error-proofing
Ø Assist in the execution of initial training & cross training to meet department goals
Ø Assist in improving labor utilization of shop floor employees
Ø Assist in the development & improvement of the Material Review Board (MRB) of questionable & nonconforming items
Ø Assist in implementing & maintaining part & tool identification & status across the plant
Ø Assist in developing & maintaining traceability of product & subcomponents
Ø Assist in completing PPAPs, MSAs, capability studies, calibration, & layouts inspections
Ø Assist in customer concern response activities & nonconforming item containment as needed
Ø Assist in implementing engineering changes (ECs) & deviations in a timely & effective manner
Ø Assist in implementing & improving Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metrics across production work centers
Ø Assist in implementing streamlined Kanban replenishment systems
Qualifications / Training / Skill Requirements:
Ø Must be a technical problem solver who enjoys working with &/or training others
Ø Strong desire to meet performance standards & exceed targets
Ø AutoCAD / SolidWorks or equivalent applications.
Ø CNC programming
Ø Robotic programming
Ø Ability to make timely decisions
Ø Disciplined approach to workplace & people management
Ø Excellent project management skills
Ø Excellent communication skills
Ø Excellent problem-solving skills
Ø Strong desire to improve oneself
Ø Drive to provide a safe working environment for employees
