1.Identify and implement opportunities to improve manufacturing environment and capability
-Augment standard work instructions and advise on process as necessary
-Create visual aids, production aids, jigs and fixtures for production and quality as relates to manufacturing
-Investigate and arrange manufacturing equipment and tooling procurement, work with tooling vendors to see through the building of tooling
-Document justification for purchase/ROI analysis of tooling or aids
-Identify training needs for manufacturing related to assembly process, arrange or conduct training as appropriate
2.Provide engineering support to Manufacturing, Design Engineering, Purchasing, QC and Management
-Identify, research, implement solutions to issues related to assembly/manufacturing, engineering documentation and quality on new product and product released to production
-Lead Taiwan manufacturing engineering team and work closely with US Team to implement solutions
-Identify, evaluate and implement design changes to improve manufacturability, improve quality, reduce costs and reduce material variances
-Complete any associated drawing mark-ups/revisions and ensure any required BOM revisions are completed with design team
-Problem investigation and resolution of field reports, service and warranty, and supplier issues
-Create, approve, and coordinate any temporary deviations required
-Attend/facilitate meetings with manufacturing and purchasing to ensure communication and review issues/opportunities
-Provide feedback to Design Engineering group to ensure incorporation into new designs
3.Cost Reduction and Standardization
-Identify, evaluate and implement changes to assembly process to reduce material and labor costs
-Identify standardization opportunities relating to assembly, work flow and tooling
4.Provide input on new designs
-As new designs are released, provide feedback to the design group as to the manufacturability of design and capability of assembly line to produce design
