Job description

Design/develop, order and install tools, process equipment and power tools

Experience required in one or more of these areas:

Hand tools, assembly aids/fixtures, material transport carts, overhead systems (cranes/hoists and below-the-hook tools), fastening tools/systems, automated systems (conveyors, robots, AGVs), additive manufacturing.

As a tooling and equipment engineer, you will have continuous opportunities to work cross-functionally within the engineering department and with other functions such as logistic engineering, environment/health/safety, production, and quality. These interactions are critical to the success of tooling and equipment projects and are a great opportunity to grow and develop as a tooling engineer and contributor to business goals.

Tooling and Equipment Engineering is a team of engineers responsible for supporting current and future assembly operations with all required tooling and equipment. The group works to develop and deploy several types of solutions - fastening tools, lifting devices (above-the-hook and below-the-hook), material supply carts, fixtures, assembly aids, hand tools, and automated equipment.

The Tooling & Equipment Engineer role is very dynamic - it requires efficient communication with stakeholders and project management skills to plan activities and track progress of projects. The qualified candidate will not be able to work remotely.

Main activities and responsibilities for this role:

• Lead the development of tooling and equipment solutions in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders, gather inputs and work as a team.
• Implement tooling and equipment with a “zero disturbance” mindset in operations – zero safety issues, zero quality issues, zero un-planned downtime - promote manufacturing safety, ergonomics, and efficiency.
• Establish and maintain the optimum tooling and equipment standards and best practices within the competency areas (fastening tools, lifting devices above-the-hook, lifting devices below-the-hook, material supply, fixtures, assembly aids, hand tools, and automated equipment).
• Collaborate with maintenance team in the development of tooling and equipment standards to ensure new equipment design incorporates best practices from previous learnings to maximize equipment reliability and availability.
• Active participation in new product development to give inputs on tooling solutions and interface to product – mitigate risk by developing tooling concurrently with product design.
• Participate in major industrial projects – investigation, planning, design, execution, startup – act as the technical expert for process equipment installations and work to implement cost-effective solutions that meet production, quality, and safety needs – these solutions can be developed and built in-house or sourced with purchasing team - provide guidance to project management teams on budget and timeframe of tooling implementation for new product introduction and major industrial projects.
• Lead effective design reviews throughout equipment development and ensure that manufacturing, quality, maintenance, environmental, safety, and ergonomic requirements are met with Early Equipment Management (EEM) guidelines Perform kaizen and use problem solving tools in PDCA cycle – this is done with engineering, production, and maintenance teams to develop long term solutions to problems with existing equipment in the factory.
• React to issues impacting production with a sense of urgency, promptly assessing the issue, developing a feasible action plan, and following it through to successful completion.

Critical competencies and experience:

• Displays professional behavior, positive attitude, and proactive mindset.
• Strong leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills - ability to manage change in a fast-paced environment - experience taking initiative, driving improvements, taking additional responsibilities, thinking outside the box, and going the extra mile.
• Problem Solving/Decision Making: Taking a well-ordered approach to solving problems and acting despite obstacles, resistance, or ambiguity - possesses strong analytical skills and demonstrated focus on process and Lean Manufacturing concepts Proven ability to review and apply technical specifications and requirements to the tooling and equipment – experience writing Requests for Information (RFI), requests for quotation (RFQ), and working with vendors on developing optimal solutions

Education and other specific skills:

• Masters or Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical preferred) or Associate’s degree & equivalent experience required.
• Minimum 3-5 years of Tooling and Equipment Engineering experience.
• Experience in Catia, Creo, and AutoCAD – working knowledge of 2D/3D engineering drawings is a must. Knowledge of ENOVIA, Windchill or other PDM Systems.
• Risk assessment and Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) experience is required. Ergonomic standards and practical application required.
• General awareness of OSHA guidelines and standards, ISO, ANSI. Advanced manufacturing knowledge (robotics, 3D scan & print) is preferred, but not required.
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA) experience is preferred, but not required.
• GD&T knowledge and practical experience is preferred, but not required.
• Experience in Sketchup software is desired, but not required. Excellent computer skills; proficient in Excel, PowerBI, PowerPoint, OneNote, Word and other O365 apps
