• Establish and maintain global process standards, including process flows, routings, Bills of Process, Bills of Equipment, Statements of Requirements, sequence of operations, error-proofing, nonconforming-material handling, and backup-process strategies.
• Drive cross-site harmonization of tooling, cutting parameters, fixturing, gaging, cycle times, automation, and advanced machining technologies across DK68 manufacturing locations.
• Lead safety reviews, ergonomic evaluations, Safety Observation Tours, PFMEA and Control Plan development, capability studies, and validation activities for new and modified machining processes.
• Own technical resolution of machining-related ECRs, PPDRs, supplier quality rejections, dimensional nonconformances, process excursions, and quality escapes using structured problem-solving methods.
• Direct OEMs and machining equipment suppliers through design, build, debug, run-off, and launch activities while ensuring throughput, quality, safety, ergonomic, cost, and timing requirements are met.
• Manage program timing, risks, issues, spending, purchase orders, invoices, capital assets, supplier evaluations, lessons learned, and technical knowledge transfer across global sites.
• Provide program updates to leadership and mentor machining engineers across the Global Propulsion Systems Manufacturing Engineering organization.
