• Support process control for resistance spot and seam welding, TIG welding, brazing, and heat treat by monitoring parameters, verifying setups, and flagging deviations from specifications.
• Read and interpret blueprints and GD&T for sheet metal assemblies, and help resolve fit-up, distortion, weld quality, and dimensional problems.
• Support nonconformance and quality-escape investigations by collecting data, helping identify root causes, and carrying out corrective and preventive actions within established procedures.
• Participate in lean and continuous-improvement projects, including standard work, 5S, setup reduction, and flow improvement, to improve safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
• Collaborate with Quality, Production, Materials, Tooling, and senior Manufacturing Engineers, and understand how work in the assigned area connects to upstream and downstream operations.
