Responsibilities
- Support development, implementation, and validation of metal joining processes for repeatability and manufacturability
- Assist in evaluating risks related to galvanic corrosion, thermal expansion mismatch, and electrical resistance/joint performance
- Observe production operations to identify and improve manufacturing process inefficiencies, quality issues, and safety risks
- Troubleshoot production issues, support root cause analysis and corrective actions
- Support data collection for product development, Lean, and continuous improvement
- Assist with new product sample creation and testing
- Support NPI launches, pilot builds, and training
- Provide material selection feedback and basic manufacturability input to the design
- Create, maintain, and revise work instructions and SOPs
