Engineering Change (EC) Engineer - Mechanical

As a Manufacturing Engineer, you are responsible for developing and maintaining methods, operating sequences, and processes in the fabrication of parts, components, subassemblies, and final assemblies. You'll work closely with other engineering functions to coordinate the release of product improvements and new products, and you'll use engineering principles to estimate and reduce manufacturing costs, improve product quality, determine time standards, and make recommendations for tooling and process requirements. Your expertise in lean principles, automation, and continuous improvement will be instrumental in driving operational excellence and achieving higher levels of productivity and cost-effectiveness. You'll develop and use test procedures, evaluate test results, and assess work methods, procedures, and policies to identify root cause issues and solutions that ensure operational success.

MFG Engineer is responsible for the development and management of the Engineering Change Request process for assigned groups and/or product families or lines from documentation of initial problem statement through implementation and execution of the engineering change. Mediates problems across division lines to remove barriers preventing effective implementation of engineering changes. Ensures rapid and efficient processing of ECRs/ECOs, resulting in cost-effective change implementation.

Education B.E/B.Tech (Mechanical/Manufacturing/Industrial)

Experience - 5 to 8 Yrs

Essential Duties and Responsibilities: -

• Interfaces with other engineering functions to coordinate the release of product improvements and/or new products. Launches, releases, approves and implements or issues engineering change requests as required to support design engineering and Operations with new and existing products.
• Review ECOs for content completeness, Structure of Bill of Material, customer impact (internal and external), organizational impact, and functional product impact
• Estimates manufacturing costs, determines time standards and makes recommendations for tooling and process requirements. Uses DFx principles to reduce manufacturing and/or product costs, and improve delivered product quality.
• Gathers operational and test data and evaluates results; may takes corrective/continuous improvement actions.
• Determines root cause and corrective action analysis for issues that arise during assembly and/or test of systems; provides failure analysis report as required.
• Determines effect of ECRs/ECOs on products and processes; adequately ascertains who needs to be included in the evaluation, disposition, assignment, definition, approval and implementation of the ECO; routes ECOs.
• Coordinates with other impacted EC analysts; verifies that appropriate CIB (Change Implementation Board) members are included on the ECO based on Product Family, Product Line, Change Category, planner/buyer and product option tree, as applicable.
• Should be Capable of understating issue logged by different stakeholders pertaining to Engg drawing correctness, Design issues, manufacturing issues and make sure to address issues on time without delays
• Analyzes part structure to determine the scope / impact of product changes; conducts where-used searches.
• Trains / coaches ECO participants in their functional areas; advises ECO participants on possible solutions for ECO related problems, issues or situations; routinely mediates conflicts between ECO participants. Evaluates ECO process for continuous improvement opportunities; assists in KPI development, and document the process.
• Regularly participates in ECO PMs meetings.
• Participates in projects; may lead a ECO CIB project. Reviewing ECOs and recommending material related changes through the Change Control Board, identifying ECO impacted kits and assemblies and updating ECO notification summary comments to reflect current status.
