Overview The purpose of the site tooling engineers is:The purpose is to develop new tooling and technologies for near future implementation and define program-specific strategy and content. To benchmark industry trends to applications and use cases to integrate into future model manufacturing plans, provide innovative solutions to enable product and process enhancementsResponsibilities Investigate, develop, and vet new tooling technologies and vendorsBenchmark existing tooling technologies, vendors, and competitor strategiesSet and track tooling supplier performance targetsLead master schedule development, tracking and coordinationAct as liaison between Production, manufacturing Engineering and Product Development teams developing new technologies, strategies, and identifying implications of new product advances in the industry.Create, maintain, and update PFET - Plan for Every ToolSupport Investment EfficiencySupport PFMEA and SCCAF processes (led by SIT MEs)Create, maintain, and update Health Chart MappingEstablish content and strategy for future model studiesEstablish, maintain, and update tracking of equipment pedigree/useful life for Chihuahua Engine PlantProvide lookahead review of assets requiring replacement within 5 yearsIdentify funding opportunities for useful life asset replacement/refurbishmentDevelop and deliver tooling and equipment Scope of Works for issuance to supplier(s)Issue purchase order(s) to supplier(s)Support initial supplier kick offs and design reviewsProvide and develop Training strategy for al tooling cross-functional teams.Ensures that the tool setting rooms are in the best physical condition, 5s,furniture, equipment, personnel.Plans and coordinates the annual certification of all measuring equipment used in the tool setting rooms for the correct setup of tools throughout the siteManages and coordinates the plant's tooling CMS. Generates annual contracts for the provision of cutting tool-related services.Addresses issues related to cutting tools and coordinates investigations with the engineers in charge of each machining line. also provides support in the launch or modification of machined products.If required, also provides consulting services to suppliers on machining processes.Support to tooling engineers across each line monitor costs and develop coordinated strategies to deliver goal annual savings.#J-18808-Ljbffr
