Role & responsibilities
Develop and establish manufacturing process routes, operation sequences, SOPs, and process

flow diagrams for sheet metal fabrication products.
Review engineering drawings, specifications, and BOMs to determine manufacturability, process

feasibility, and production requirements.
Perform bend allowance, bend deduction, K-factor calculations, and flat pattern validation for

sheet metal components.
Optimize CNC Laser Cutting, Turret Punch, and Press Brake parameters to improve productivity,

dimensional accuracy, and material utilization.
Develop nesting strategies using nesting software to maximize sheet utilization and minimize

scrap generation.
Define tooling requirements, punch tooling layouts, bending tools, fixtures, and jigs for fabrication

operations.
Establish and maintain Process FMEA, Control Plans, Standard Work Instructions, and Process

Validation documents.
Conduct cycle time studies, line balancing, capacity planning, and manpower optimization to

improve manufacturing efficiency.
Monitor and improve process capability through SPC, Cp/Cpk analysis, and implementation of

process controls.
Lead root cause analysis activities using 8D, 5 Why, Fishbone Diagram,



and CAPA methodologies

to resolve process and quality issues.
Support Recent Product Introduction (NPI), prototype development, pilot runs, First Article

Inspection (FAI), and production release activities.
Improve welding processes by optimizing weld sequences, fixture design, distortion control

methods, and welding parameters for MIG, TIG, and Spot Welding operations.
Drive Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, 5S, OEE improvement, waste elimination, and cost reduction

projects across fabrication operations.
Collaborate with Design, Production, Quality, Maintenance, and Supply Chain teams to

implement process improvements and engineering changes.
Analyze production performance metrics including OEE, rejection rates, rework, downtime,

throughput, and material utilization; implement corrective actions for continuous improvement

Preferred candidate profile
