• Establish and drive long-term manufacturing strategies, technology roadmaps, and process standardization across operations.
• Serve as the technical authority for machining, providing guidance on complex engineering problems and influencing design for manufacturability decisions.
• Lead resolution of highly complex manufacturing issues, applying in-depth analysis of data, process interactions, and variable factors.
• Define and implement innovative solutions using advanced statistical tools, modeling, and engineering judgment.
• Champion and lead 8D problem-solving teams, ensuring effective root cause analysis, corrective actions, and prevention strategies aligned with customer expectations.
• Drive and govern cost reduction initiatives (scrap, cycle time, changeover, yield improvement) with measurable business impact.
• Own CNC programming strategy and governance, ensuring precision, standardization, and scalability across operations.
• Oversee development and validation of processes for machining and supporting equipment (e.g., tumblers, lasers, bead blast).
• Direct the design, fabrication, and lifecycle management of complex fixtures and tooling systems.
• Own Management of Change (MOC), including V&Q, FMEA, PCN, and ensure robust risk mitigation and compliance.
• Lead justification, selection, procurement, installation, qualification, and validation of capital equipment.
• Analyze current and future capacity requirements, developing data-driven recommendations for capital investments and resource allocation.
• Evaluate and implement advanced automation and digital manufacturing solutions where appropriate.
• Utilize advanced analytics and statistical tools to identify trends, optimize performance, and predict risks.
• Present complex technical data and strategic recommendations to senior leadership, customers, and external stakeholders.
• Own master data integrity (routings, cost models, scrap factors, work centers) and engineering change processes (ECRs).
• Lead cross-functional initiatives involving engineering, operations, quality, automation, supply chain, and external partners.
• Influence stakeholders across functions and sites to align on priorities, standards, and execution plans.
• Collaborate closely with design engineering to ensure manufacturability, cost efficiency, and product robustness.
• Act as a mentor and technical coach to engineers, technicians, and machinists, elevating team capability.
• Define best practices, standard work, and training frameworks for machining and manufacturing processes.
• Promote a culture of continuous improvement, accountability, and engineering excellence.
