What you’ll own

• New Part Introduction (NPI): lead estimating, project management, and process development for new parts.
• Process architecture: create process plans, standards, and work instructions that drive repeatability.
• Design for manufacturability: review prints/specs, interpret GD&T, and propose design or process changes that improve quality, cost, and throughput.
• Costing and quoting: estimate operational costs and cycle times; collaborate with—and sometimes lead—the quoting effort with our Estimation team.
• Production enablement: communicate capabilities and schedules to ensure smooth releases to production; prepare operational reports.
• Continuous improvement: implement new methods, equipment, or processes; analyze costs/benefits and evaluate production performance.
• Customer partnership: provide manufacturability feedback from quote through NPI.
