Manufacturing and Process Engineer

Duties and Responsibilities: Set-Up Procedures for New Project Testing (Follow Engineering S.O.P.)  Follow the production Planner’s schedule to arrange the set-up process.  Obtain relevant information from the Production Coordinator for mold changes.  Organize machine workflow, including preheating materials in advance.  Ensure that Set-Up Technicians perform key checks before start-up, including:  Water channel and water usage verification.  Ensuring the core function and mold safety are secured.  Verify the robotic program and ejector limit switch are operational.  Follow the master parameter for starting the machine, and if out of parameter, immediately inform the Process Manager. Any changes to the parameter must be approved by the Process Manager.  Ensure that the current Manufacturing Order (MO) is completed before moving to the next scheduled mold change.  Submit the First Piece Form and sample for cosmetic verification. After verification, acknowledge the first piece part and include the parameter and water checklist.  QC will perform a full measurement based on customer specifications and provide approval within the agreed timeframe (coordinate with QC Dept).  Once the measurement is approved, QC and Production will sign off on the first piece.  Ensure the first piece part is handed back to the Manufacturing and Process Engineerfor continued process activities.  Ensure that the Set-Up Technician cleans the mold every day, with cleaning completed before 11:00 am. New Project Key Points (Information Sharing with Engineering)  Obtain customer parameters, process water flow, and core function details from the Engineering Department.  Ensure that all new transfer molds are tested in the tooling department before trials begin in production.  Confirm that the water flow pressure in the mold is at 0.5 flow rate; if otherwise, highlight the issue to Engineering.  Ensure that customer cycle time is achieved during trials; if not, notify Engineering.  When facing quality issues during trials, provide defect samples to both Engineering and Quality Control for corrective actions in mass production. Job Scope Arrangement for Set-Up Technicians  Monitor Set-Up Technicians to ensure they follow the production schedule.  Arrange for Set-Up Technicians to assist the Production Technician when there is no schedule for loading/unloading processes. Skills and Qualifications:  Minimum of a Diploma in Engineering or a related technical field.  At least 3 years of experience in a similar role within a manufacturing environment.  Knowledge of molding processes, machine setups, and production coordination.  Strong understanding of Standard Operating Procedures (S.O.P.) in engineering and production.  Ability to lead and manage a team of Set-Up Technicians.
