About the Role
This role involves collaborating with internal functions, including programmes, engineering, quality, and Supply Chain, to provide solutions and solve moderately complex problems. The aim is to deliver projects on-time, on-quality, and on-budget. You will identify best practices and determine product design and build requirements, ensuring New Product Development (NPD) proactively addresses safety issues. You will also work with Engineering & Test Systems to develop and refine test specifications and procedures, control manufacturing processes and procedures to increase yield and eliminate quality failures. Furthermore, you will track, identify, and report opportunities to improve cost performance through various options, including influencing design, process improvement, automation, and make vs. buy decisions. You may be required to carry out duties off-site based on project needs.
You will troubleshoot and resolve issues, estimating time requirements for operations, and recommend and implement improvements and/or modifications in the sequence of operations, equipment utilisation, and related matters to increase efficiency and cost savings.
Responsibilities
- For assigned products, understand the Value Creation Plan (VCP) and, through the identification of time or cost-saving measures, achieve annual targets.
- Work closely with the Integrated Project Team (IPT) to support the product family.
- Identify design improvements and work with Engineering to implement them.
- Support the definition of outsourcing & capex strategies (alongside the Shopfloor Support Team, Project/CI Team, and Supply Chain).
- Working with the Shopfloor Team (and other teams such as Test Systems as required), address product quality issues, High Production Unit (HPU) reduction, and yield improvement activities, driving Root Cause Corrective Action (RCCA) to prevent reoccurrence.
- Act as the Operations Point of Contact (PoC) for 8D activity for the assigned product family, leading investigations and bringing in appropriate stakeholders as required.
- Support New Product Introduction (NPI) activity as required, including:
- Bid Estimates, including generation of work packages.
- Design for Manufacture/Test (alongside Test Systems as required).
- Support to Engineering & Production to generate prototypes.
- Operations Management Plan generation (along with any other documentation required to support the Lifecycle Management (LCM) process).
- Development of routings, processes, and documentation leading to handover to production.
