Job Description Summary
We are seeking a technically strong and improvement-focused professional to support the manufacturability and continuous enhancement of HVDC Transformers. This role is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of engineering design and manufacturing, helping ensure products are not only technically robust, but also practical, efficient, and cost-effective to build.
The position will focus on reviewing and improving transformer designs for manufacturability, supporting the development of tools, jigs, and fixtures, and partnering closely with manufacturing process engineers to strengthen production methods, documentation, and process performance. You will play an important role in improving existing products and components while contributing to initiatives that enhance safety, quality, delivery, and cost.
This role has a strong execution focus and meaningful impact on departmental operations. While it follows established engineering practices and procedures, it also offers the opportunity to apply sound judgment, collaborate across functions, and contribute to continuous improvement in a highly specialized manufacturing environment.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Key Responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Review transformer designs — including core, windings, winding assembly, active part, tanking, and final assembly — to ensure they are optimized for manufacturability.
- Use 3D and 2D design tools such as Inventor and AutoCAD to assess compatibility between product design and plant capabilities, identifying practical improvements that simplify production and improve efficiency.
- Work closely with design engineers, manufacturing process engineers, production teams, procurement, quality, and external vendors to align design intent with manufacturing reality. This includes supporting design-for-manufacturing improvements, resolving shop floor challenges, and identifying opportunities to reduce complexity, cost, and cycle time.
- Design and develop jigs, fixtures, molds, dies, and other customized tools that improve ease of manufacturing and operational performance.
- Help create and maintain critical manufacturing documentation such as Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Work Instructions (WI), and CTQs, while contributing to structured improvement methods such as DFMEA and PFMEA.
