Assembly Engineer

What you’ll get to do:

• Develop assembly concepts, writing scope of work documents, designing, testing, and deploying tooling and automation.
• Work closely with external suppliers and manufacturers, supporting the development, fabrication and build of prototypes, pilot production and deployment of high-volume factory automation.
• Ability to bring the product design and product component together in an assembly process being it a manual or automated process understanding how the incoming processes effect the overall assembly process.
• Develop and document assembly processes, spare parts lists, and preventative maintenance plan.
• Prepare equipment and systems specifications.
• Work with a team to formulate the process step cycle times, efficiencies, yields and step relationships to include dynamic modeling as required for process and line balance assumptions. (Arrangement, Rates, Balance, Yield, Capacity)
• Define the process steps and sequence of operations, material handling and process control needs and to the extent possible, the preliminary process layout.
• Work with team on Product/Process Flows, PFMEAs, Quality Control Plans, and risk assessment activities.
• Work with team to define critical product/process parameters relating to product documentation nominals and tolerances and they are related to process functions.
• Evaluate Safety and Occupational health summary for process.
• Provide cost and operational criteria via internal and external resources for the justification and acquisition of major tooling. (ROI)
• Propose and implement cost reduction activities for mature assembly processes.

What will make you successful:

• Ability to read, analyze and interpret technical product drawings, interpret technical procedures, write reports, business correspondence, and procedure manuals. Ability to effectively present information and respond to questions.
• Ability to solve practical and technical problems and deal with a variety of variables in situations where only limited standardization exists.
• Proficient with solid modeling tools, (AutoCAD)
• Experience with automation, PLCs, Machine Vision and electrical controls
• Project Management Experience
• Experience with spreadsheet software (Excel) & presentation software (PowerPoint)
• Ability to communicate with technical & non-technical associates
• Ability to work in a dynamic, fast paced work environment
• Self-starter mindset with the ability to work in a team environment
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Ability to provide technical design and process information relating to product manufacturability, process and design costs, process risk assessment and product capability assessment.
• Ability to analyze and troubleshoot equipment and determine root causes for assembly issues.
