Lead Method Engineer

• During specification and preliminary design phases:
• Bring ideas to the Process Engineer or the PIM to guide product definition in order to improve the product manufacturability and achieve QCD targets.
• Participate to the product design reviews when required.
• Estimate Method Time.

• During detailed design phase and before Serial Go:
• Participate to P-FMEA.
• Participate to validation of prototypes if any.
• Request tooling when needed and write tooling specifications.
• Depending on the domain: perform ERP routings, Work Instructions, Inspection Instructions, program for CNC machines. And this ensuring good EHS and ergonomic conditions.
• Perform work stations task sequencing.
• Validate product design and industrialization through FAR and FAI.
• Calculate precise Method Time.

• After serial Go:
• Industrialize retrofit after engineering changes: Routings, Work Instructions, and tooling.
• Support Production to achieve manufacturing QCD targets.
• Participate to continuous improvement workshops. (Ex: SWIP)
• Contribute to industrial REX on manufacturing processes.
