ENGINEER II, NPI

IMPACT AND OPPORTUNITY

Electronic product launches and engineering changes. 

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Analyze work processes and/or methods to improve productivity.

• Conduct analyses to determine the need for tools, machinery, space, and labor.

• Define and document capacity requirements by comparing production volumes and plant production capacity. Identify risks and release the project team for the quotation stage.

• Create preliminary process flow diagrams and routings for quotation.

• Analyze and define costs, capacities, equipment requirements, and tooling. Determine if existing production technology can be used; otherwise, define the requirements specification for the new technology.

• Create the final process flow diagram and routings.

• Produce tooling drawings, ensuring the most efficient use of materials and minimal manufacturing time.

• Organize, direct, and drive the design and release of production tooling across all processes, and ensure that all tooling is available for manufacturing and/or PPAP executions.

• Ensure that design-related documents/changes are in PDM and SAP and maintained throughout the product lifecycle. (Including ECR/ECO processes)

• Generate ECRs in PDM related to process or product improvements.

• Review and approve process drawings, and provide feedback to designers.

• Track IARs generated by the manufacturing plant.

• Generate the necessary information to justify IARs.

• Gather information to budget for equipment, machinery, and production processes required for capacity or improvement projects, and for equipment replacement needs.

• Identify and improve product quality, process capability, product performance and reliability, and conduct a FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis).

• Review product design using design-to-manufacturing guidelines, and work with design and manufacturing engineering to ensure the product can be manufactured using existing equipment and processes.

• Provide interpretation of customer requirements and training departments to develop the necessary training for operators on new product requirements.

• Generate pre-production reports.

• Document design issues identified during pre-production builds and follow up with design engineering until closure.

• Participate in corrective actions if defective assemblies are found during pre-production builds.

• Continuously improve existing product designs and internal processes to increase customer satisfaction (CI initiatives) and participate in problem-solving.

• Responsible for understanding and meeting specific customer requirements with Zero Defects as the goal.

• Process Approach: Manage with a process-oriented approach to achieve objectives. This involves understanding, defining, and managing processes with a focus on PDCA and prevention.

• Risk Planning and Analysis: Utilize risk-based thinking with your team and across functions. This involves risk identification, cause and consequence analysis, risk level assessment, and treatment; documenting the above as evidence of control. (Applicable to IATF 16949, ISO 14001, ISO 45001)

• Life cycle perspective: Ensure the identification of environmental aspects throughout your area, considering process inputs and outputs.

• Participate in and comply with the requirements of the IATF 16949 quality management system and the ISO 14001/ISO 45001 environmental management system corresponding to your position. Prepare evidence of compliance and support audits.

• Authority: Stop/cancel any process that does not meet the established requirements.
