- Design and procure tools for cab and vehicle assembly in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders, gather inputs and work as a team - fastening tools, lifting systems (crane systems and below-the-hook fixtures), material supply carts, fixtures, jigs, assembly aids, hand tools
- Implement tooling and equipment with a “zero disturbance” mindset in operations – zero safety issues, zero quality issues, zero un-planned downtime - promote manufacturing safety, ergonomics, and efficiency.
- Apply tooling and maintenance standards and best practices when designing, re-designing, or purchasing new equipment for cab and vehicle assembly – utilize previous learnings to maximize equipment reliability and availability
- Active participation in new product development to give inputs on tooling solutions and interface to product – mitigate risk by developing tooling concurrently with product design.
- Participate in major industrial projects – investigation, planning, design, execution, startup – act as the technical expert for equipment installations and work to implement cost-effective solutions that meet production, quality, and safety needs – these solutions can be developed and built in-house or sourced with purchasing team – as needed, provide guidance to project management teams on budget and timeframe of tooling implementation for new product introduction and major industrial projects.
- Support EEM projects and design reviews throughout equipment development – secure the tooling and maintenance deliverables are met and escalate issues to project leader.
- Perform kaizen and use MPS problem solving tools in PDCA cycle – this is done with engineering, production, and maintenance teams to develop long term solutions to problems with existing equipment in the factory.
- React to issues impacting production with a sense of urgency, promptly assessing the issue, developing a feasible action plan, and following it through to successful completion.
- Participation in the global engineering networks to develop optimal process and tool designs across all sites; work collaboratively with production engineering team to implement GTO standards and best practices in the plant in line with the One Factory concept.
- Coach and train junior tooling engineers to build competency in the designated competence or technical area.
- Masters or Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical preferred) or Associate’s degree & equivalent experience required.
- Minimum 3-5 years of Tooling and Equipment Engineering experience.
- Experience in Catia, Creo, and AutoCAD – working knowledge of 2D/3D engineering drawings is a must.
- Knowledge of ENOVIA, Windchill or other PDM Systems.
- Cost estimates & business case experience required.
- Ergonomic standards and practical application required.
- General awareness of OSHA guidelines and standards, ISO, ANSI.
- GD&T knowledge and practical experience is required.
- Excellent computer skills; proficient in Excel, PowerBI, PowerPoint, OneNote, Word and other O365 apps.
- This position is to be on-site to support our customer’s Heavy Truck Division.
- Experience with the Core responsibilities supporting the assembly plants for any of the following industries will be considered: Heavy Trucks, Military Vehicles, Aircraft, Train, Automobile, large Agriculture equipment, heavy Machinery, or heavy Construction equipment
