Manufacturing Engineering – Controlled Brakes

Miejsce pracy: Balice, małopolskie

(ref. ME brakes)

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Prepare manufacturing system elements: process concept, process flow, cycle time, line layout, equipment list, CAPEX estimate and direct labour content
• Be responsible for implementing new processes in the BWI plant: lead installation, commissioning and launch support on site until the process runs stably and is formally handed over to the plant team
• Review customer and BWI product drawings and specifications for manufacturability; give early Design for Manufacture/Assembly (DFM/DFA) feedback to Product Engineering.
• Lead process development according to APQP: Process Flow Diagram, PFMEA, Control Plan and Bill of Process
• Write equipment technical specifications (URS) for automated assembly, joining (press-fit, screwing), leak testing, end-of-line (EOL) functional testing, part marking and traceability.
• Manage machine and tooling suppliers (including overseas suppliers): design reviews, timing follow-up, Machine Qualifications MQ and buy-off against agreed criteria (cycle time, capability, run-off).
• Plan and run process validation: MSA (gauge R&R), capability studies (Cpk/Ppk) and DOE, to prove the process meets design requirements, including safety/special characteristics.
• Support prototype and validation builds (e.g. VP/PV parts) and carry the lessons learned into the series process.
• Prepare manufacturing engineering deliverables for PPAP and for customer and IATF 16949 / VDA 6.3 audits, including customer-specific requirements.
• Verify supplier quotations for equipment and tooling (technical scope and cost breakdown) and support Purchasing in negotiations.
• Apply lean principles in process design: standard work, line balancing, error proofing (poka-yoke), ergonomics and high value-added operations.
• Prepare and maintain engineering documentation according to BWI procedures (layouts, process sheets, work instructions, equipment specifications).
