Tooling Engineer

• Evaluating new, existing processes, jigs & layouts and configuring manufacturing systems to reduce cost, improve sustainability and develop best practices within the production process.

Key responsibilities include the following:

• Review, update and design the best jigs, Equipment for working production process
• Create and update shop floor layout
• Define better and cost-effective standard tooling for manufacturing.
• Develop equipment’s specification when necessary.
• During ramp up, improve process capability and production volume while maintaining and improving quality standards to meet 2 cars per day.
• Develop and implement systems that optimize all phases of production process.
• Update Industrial Maturity Follow Up (IMFU).
• Update Equipment Maturity Follow Up (EMFU).
• Develop innovative solutions and ensure projects are completed on time.
• Maintain reliable and safe manufacturing systems while improving production rates, efficiencies, yields, costs and changeovers.
• Provide suggestions during incident investigations.
• Analyse issues observed during manufacturing and create action plans using tools like QRQC.
• Development of instruction sheets with all information required on manufacturing process of each part or assembly.
• Create rework procedures in case of non-conformance
• Define consumable materials to be used on manufacturing process and also quantities.
• Process all documentation giving make or buy view (considering structure available on shop floor) and splitting properly all material between workstations.
• Jigs verification during manufacturing phase to ensure good quality parts are produced.
• Participate on concurrent engineering or design reviews always pushing design engineering to have the best design considering QCD. Propose changes and improvements to be implemented on design.
• Create Industrial Data Sheets to analyse each installation considering tools and devices required on manufacturing process, EHS risk analysis, Ergonomics, Method time evaluation and Macro Process.
• Support method time calculation and task sequences creation.
