Duties and Responsibilities

1. Quality Rating / Continuous Improvement
Improve Quality Rating of the weld department by developing the production release strategy on specified components before release into TG2. A production release strategy includes establishing weld limitations using ESM criteria and repair experience, reviewing available or required tooling, modifications of work instructions, and collaborating with other engineers and department managers.
Drive continuous improvement by finding successful approaches to challenging weld repairs and implementing those as regular shop practices.
Use root-cause analysis protocols to resolve department errors and operational issues.
2. Repair Development:
Collaborate with weld technicians, weld shop leadership, and weld process engineers to design improved weld procedures and/or specific weld procedures for custom welding applications.
Control process parameters to maximize production repeatability and quality control accuracy.
Generate technical work instructions and comprehensive process documentation for complex weld repairs, including operation sheets and setup guides.
3. Analyze Results
Collaborate with production leadership, operators and technicians on the initial weld plan, and monitor the results of those repair plans as they travel through the shop.
Provide technical support and guidance as needed to aid in successful repair.
Diagnose repair defects to determine root cause and implement effective corrective actions.
4. Engineering
Review standard work instructions for points of risk and adjust repair plan for greater chance of success.
Read and comprehend technical documentation including OEM manuals, engineering drawings, blueprints, and material specifications.
Execute safety protocols to maintain compliance and minimize workplace hazards.
5. Personal Management & Communication
Adapt to the needs of the customer. Adjust schedule and plans to align with customer goals.
Communicate updates to repair processes, problem-solving initiatives, quality improvements, and process developments across all organizational levels.
Train operations staff on new process developments and standard procedure updates.
