**What you'll do**:
**PRIMARY FUNCTION**
Coordinate and manage manufacturing engineering activities in production areas in order to support existing production line, new product development and new production lines, product transfers, equipment specifications and maintenance, lean manufacturing and EQS deployment, MESH initiatives, and product and quality cost improvements.
**ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS**
- Determine manufacturing methods and machine or line loading to produce parts, sub-assemblies, and assemblies for new products or customer orders requiring extensive planning consistent with overall division objectives. Plan all tooling such as jigs, fixtures, special tools, and similar items.
- Evaluate existing machinery, fabrication equipment, tooling, etc for safety, capacity, capability, effectiveness, etc. Develop detailed technical specifications for new equipment and manage capital projects.
- Outline the required workflow and material handling devices including storage areas, work areas, and workplace layout. Prepare complete operation line-ups to manufacture all parts for a product line or for a section. Provide training, guidance and technical support to leaders, operators and team members.
- Support Lean, Six Sigma, and Pro Launch through the creation of Process Maps, Standard Work, Takt Times, Potential Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, Design of Experiments, Control Plans, and Job Safety Analysis for production lines.
- Estimate the time required to manufacture all parts for a product line or a section based on the most economical methods developed through manufacturing planning in conjunction with methods, tools, work, plant layouts, and design engineering. Actively reduce current standard times.
- Compile complete cost analyses for a product line or section based on extension of hourly rates, burden and material costs, cost of new machine tools and the handling of equipment. This includes specifications for such items as layouts, tooling, machine tools, and material.
- Follow all cost reducing methods through installation and successful operation.
- Recommend replacements and dispositions of equipment and facilities for a given area and maintain applicable records.
- Plan and control expenditures of the annual facility programs encompassed in the respective area of responsibility and maintain applicable records. Prepare reports on new methods.
