Main Tasks

• Drive process efficiency by optimizing dies, tooling, and stamping processes to ensure product quality, safety, and compliance with production standards.
• Operate and optimize manufacturing equipment, including deep drawing (can forming), stamping, progressive presses, blanking/punching, welding, assembly, and seaming.
• Implement SMED methodology to reduce changeover time and eliminate downtime.
• Lead tooling design improvements and oversee preventive and corrective maintenance to extend tool life and improve process robustness.
• Analyze and optimize process parameters to maximize productivity and minimize scrap, waste, and cost.
• Manage new die and process projects, from fabrication through commissioning, ensuring timelines and budget adherence.
• Ensure quality compliance by validating stamped components against dimensional and regulatory requirements in collaboration with Quality.
• Work cross-functionally with Production, Quality, Tool Room, Maintenance, and Advanced Manufacturing teams to resolve technical issues and drive continuous improvement.
• Support new product launches, transfers, feasibility studies, and quotation phase evaluations.
• Monitor KPIs and lead continuous improvement initiatives, including layout optimization and cost-reduction projects.
• Maintain process documentation (PFMEA, work instructions, drawings) and implement defect prevention systems.
• Address customer quality issues and warranty claims with effective corrective actions.
• Promote safety, ergonomics, and workplace organization.
