Define clear roles, target expectations, and capacity plans.
Foster a continuous learning environment, feedback culture, and innovative thinking.
Manage team capacity and technical competency matrices to support ongoing production and pipeline requests.
Serve as the primary technical and process interface to the central MODI team in Germany to ensure standard design guidelines and engineering changes align with core global standards.
Work in lockstep with the US Application team to understand customer-specific requirements, translating regional field inputs into localized engineering changes.
Act as the first line of engineering escalation for the localized production plant, ensuring quick issue resolution, safety compliance, and minimum downtime.
Oversee the mechanical modification and design changes of standard mechanical conveyance assemblies to meet client-specific layouts.
Ensure high-quality execution of BOM (Bill of Materials) setups, configuration management, and the release of engineering changes in PLM/SAP databases.
Implement structured engineering change management (L3) processes to keep drawings, documentation, and tooling synchronized.
Champion "Design-to-Cost" (DTC) and Value Engineering initiatives on existing product lines to reduce material and manufacturing costs.
Act as the technical partner to the localized purchasing/procurement teams.
Support local vendor qualification when needed, review technical capabilities, and validate raw material or component substitutions without compromising quality and safety.
Lead and coordinate day-to-day sustaining engineering work packages and local customer custom-modification requests.
Synchronize regularly with the DE MODI and US Application teams through structured joint reviews to maintain cross-border alignment.
Analyze value streams and production feedback to close the development loop, applying learnings to future standard product updates.
Evaluate and sign off on mechanical designs, tolerance analyses, and material selection for cost-reduction initiatives.
Support technical auditing of new localized supplier parts to facilitate smooth component localization and purchasing success.
Report department performance, engineering release status, and cost-saving metrics to the Department Head.
