Mold Design - Process Engineering

• Design and develop compression molds, injection mold manufacturing processes.
• Create detailed 3D models and 2D drawings using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD)
• Continuously seek opportunities for process improvement and cost reduction in mold design and manufacturing.
• Ensure the coordinated support of all daily, weekly, process and administrative checks. To ensure engineering activities and support day to day operations in the manufacturing area/s.
• Understand equipment use and limitations, work with Engineering and Maintenance to improve.. Coordinate the Identification of poor production mold, raise awareness to production support, ensure that investigations are thorough and mold demands are submitted for replacements/preparing.
• To ensure all processes are aligned with an emphasis on safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
• Assist in all quality deviations identified, initiate immediate action plans, monitor output, trial, and implement initial and or long-term fixes and changes.
• Provide support for cross functional teams on customer returns to investigate, trial, and implement initial and or long-term fixes and changes. Uses standard problem-solving tools, e.g., 8D, 5 Whys, Fishbone.
• Analyses new product specifications and translates these into manufacturing processes to achieve expected quality levels and establish the reliability of the finished product.
• Responsible for the completion of the design and development of optimal, cost-effective, and reliable manufacturing processes.
• Performs DOEs, and participates in the development of control plans, Process Maps, and PFMEA documentation.
• Develops and documents standard operating procedures (SOP) and trains manufacturing personnel on SOPs.
