- Select appropriate materials, tools, and equipment for stamping operations.
- Collaborate with design engineers to optimize parts for manufacturability.
- Design or oversee the design of stamping tools and dies.
- Ensure that tooling and dies are capable of producing parts to required specifications.
- Implement improvements to tooling and dies to enhance production efficiency and quality.
Process Optimization and Improvement:
- Continuously improve stamping processes to increase productivity and reduce costs.
- Conduct root cause analysis and implement corrective actions for process-related issues.
- Implement lean manufacturing principles to streamline operations.
Quality Assurance:
- Perform process capability studies and ensure adherence to quality standards.
- Address quality issues and implement corrective actions as needed.
Project Management:
- Manage stamping projects from concept through production launch.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams including tooling, manufacturing, and quality departments.
- Ensure projects are completed on time and within budget.
Documentation and Reporting:
- Create and maintain documentation related to stamping processes and procedures.
- Prepare reports on process performance, quality metrics, and project status.
- Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards.
Skills and Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degree (e.g., Master’s) may be preferred.
- Proven experience in stamping processes, tooling design, and manufacturing operations.
- Strong knowledge of metal forming principles, materials, and equipment.
- Experience or knowledge of cold heading operations a plus
- Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks) and familiarity with simulation tools (e.g., Finite Element Analysis).
- Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to perform root cause analysis.
- Project management skills with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks.
- Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders.
- Will require domestic and international travel to suppliers, customers, and other company locations.
