Responsibilities

Manufacturing Line & Facility Industrialization: Support the industrialization and startup of facility and Center of Excellence, executing hands-on manufacturing engineering activities to enable a stable ramp to LRIP and full-rate production

Layout, Flow & Line Design: Develop overall and station-level manufacturing layouts (2D/3D as applicable). Design and validate production flows supporting mixed-model builds, modular and parallel processing, and process branching/merging to ensure efficient throughput and scalability

Capacity Modeling & Line Balancing: Build and validate line balance models, TAKT alignment, station loading, and WIP levels. Physically test and verify cycle times, identify bottlenecks, and support equipment sizing and resource planning

Tooling, Fixtures & Automation: Coordinate with tooling and automation teams regarding facilities requirements, installation logistics, and factory verification. Identify opportunities for automation and advanced manufacturing technologies to improve safety, quality, and productivity

Quality & Yield Improvement: Support definition and integration of quality checkpoints, inspection methods, and test equipment. Perform FPY analysis, support pilot runs, and drive corrective actions to achieve 95% yield through ATP during validation builds

Material Flow & Handling: Design and improve material handling processes to minimize touchpoints and prevent damage. Define standard WIP, kanban loops, material presentation methods, and internal inventory buffers to support uninterrupted production

Process Documentation & MES Support: Oversee creation of work instruction documentation, standard work, and routing implementation. Support routing updates and integration of work instructions into MES and related digital manufacturing systems

Pilot Runs, Validation & Training Support: Support physical line installation, pilot builds, and final validations. Assist with operator training, LRIP readiness, and initial go-live activities to stabilize production

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Manufacturing, Design Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Operations teams to resolve production issues, support supplier quality containment, and continuously improve manufacturing processes
