• Interfaces with Engineering functions to coordinate the release of New Products or/and product improvements. Owns Module/Product on PLC/CIP Program
• Launches, releases, approves, and implements engineering change orders as required to support design engineering and floor for new/existing products. Owns Single Master BOM (SMBOM) release to support phase exits
• Ability to process Non-Standard Request (NSR) for Systems and NSO
• Supports New Product documentation by OMS Creation for NPI/CIP Builds
• Creates/maintains Master layout in UG/NX (Models of New Products)
• Performs Virtual Analysis / Virtual Build to proactively discover and prevent issues in build and assembly or at outsourced manufacturing sites
• One should have demonstrated the knowledge on the products, configurations, Teamcenter and Options and Variants.
• Hands on experience in creation and maintenance of new options and providing variant conditions.
• Requires knowledge necessary to perform the job function such as an understanding of the engineering change order process, DFx (Design for Excellence) engineering principles, product development process, value engineering, engineering specification waiver process, producibility / manufacturability analysis, product structure, bill of materials, product safety requirements, material handling, and root cause analysis.
• Develops project methodology and/or project proposals.
• Participates in preparation of concept and feasibility studies.
• Interfaces between operations, design engineering and Global Product Management to implement most feasible solution.
• Makes recommendations for tooling and process requirements. Uses DFx principles to reduce manufacturing and/or product costs and improve delivered product quality.
• Participates in new product builds and champions issue resolution. Determines root cause analysis for issues that arise during assembly and/or test of systems; provides long term corrective action.
• Engages with Volume Manufacturing Engineers, New Product Manufacturing Engineers, NPT PMs, Materials, Manufacturing Techs and Suppliers to transition from NPI operations to Volume Manufacturing
• Evaluates work methods, procedures and policies.
• Participates in the development and maintenance of new business processes; edits as necessary to ensure current practices are documented
• Performs other duties as assigned. Duties will vary according to the project in progress and/or the specific goals of the department in which the incumbent works.

Job Specific Knowledge:

• Product structure, bill of materials, product safety requirements, material handling, and root cause analysis.
• Requires demonstrated knowledge of manufacturing engineering discipline, theories, practices and principles.
• Requires knowledge necessary to perform the job function such as an understanding of the engineering change order process, DFx (Design for Excellence) engineering principles, product development process, value engineering, engineering specification waiver process, producibility / manufacturability analysis.

Skills:

• Requires strong skills in Product technology, change management, problem solving, communication skills, customer orientation, personal effectiveness, team skills, and quality.
