In this role at GKN Driveline, you will lead and support engineering process improvement efforts within a dynamic and innovative environment. As a key player in the manufacturing process, you will serve as the primary point of contact for Process Engineering, specifically focusing on CNC programming, tooling, and troubleshooting process and equipment issues. Your responsibilities will include writing and modifying CNC programs for various production equipment such as turning lathes and mills, as well as designing and fabricating tooling either internally or through external suppliers. Collaboration with tooling vendors and suppliers will be essential to drive improvements in safety, quality, productivity, and cost efficiency. You will also be tasked with designing or modifying manufacturing processes aimed at enhancing safety, quality, and cost reduction, while managing Machin Risk Assessments (MRAs).
