Key Responsibilities

· Prepare and release process sheets, setup sheets, and routing plans for machining operations.

· Design and/or select jigs, fixtures, and tooling (mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic) to support efficient machining.

· Conduct machining feasibility studies and provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) inputs.

· Estimate cycle time, tooling, and part costing for machined components, including overheads.

· Standardize workholding, tooling, and inspection methods across machines and vendor base.

· Drive lean manufacturing initiatives (Kaizen, SMED, 5S) to improve productivity and reduce waste.

· Support vendor development team with process audits, capability assessments, and technical guidance.

· Define and implement inspection stages, tolerances, and in-process checks in line with GD&T; and quality requirements.
