Process Engineer (Sheet Metal)

Job Scope & Responsibilities

• Create CAD models, flat patterns, and manufacturing drawings for sheet metal components using SolidWorks, AutoCAD including BOM and Process flow as required.
• Develop complex sheet metal parts, assemblies and fabrication drawings based on customer specifications, engineering standards and manufacturing requirements.
• Design and optimize sheet metal products to meet customer requirements, manufacturability (DFM), cost, quality and delivery objectives.
• Lead New Product Introduction (NPI) activities, including feasibility studies, process planning, risk assessment, prototype builds, and production readiness.
• Provide technical engineering support to production, fabrication, welding, assembly and quality teams to resolve manufacturing issues and improve productivity.
• Develop manufacturing processes, work instructions (WI), standard operating procedures (SOP), process flow, PFMEA and other engineering documentation.
• Design and implement innovative tooling, jigs and fixtures to improve productivity, reduce manufacturing cost, enhance product quality and improve process efficiency.
• Conduct engineering evaluations, root cause analysis, corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Liaise with customers, suppliers, internal engineering teams, production personnel and quality departments to ensure successful project implementation.
• Support process validation, first article inspection (FAI), production trials, qualification builds and engineering change implementation (ECN/ECO).
• Travel frequently to customer and supplier sites, both locally and overseas, to support project implementation, technical discussions, process improvement, equipment commissioning, production start-up and issue resolution. Short-term overseas assignments may be required to oversee production follow-up, project execution and customer support.
