Core Responsibilities
A. Extrusion Press Operations




- Own the complete operation of the 1400-ton aluminum extrusion press across all shifts
- Optimize extrusion parameters: ram speed, billet temperature, container temperature, pressure, and exit temperature for 6005 and 6063 alloys
- Manage die loading/unloading sequences, container alignment, and stem/dummy block integrity
- Achieve target extrusion speeds while maintaining profile dimensional accuracy within solar frame tolerances
- Conduct systematic troubleshooting of press-related defects: die lines, surface tears, profile distortion, speed cracks
- Drive productivity improvement programs targeting OEE >78% within the first 12 months

B. Billet Handling & Metallurgy
- Supervise billet cutting, charging, and heating operations with exact temperature control
- Ensure alloy-specific handling protocols for 6005 (higher strength, tighter process window) and 6063 (formability-focused) billets
- Monitor billet homogenization quality and coordinate with
