Underbody Process Engineering Standards Specialist-Machining

The Underbody Process Engineering Standards Specialist - Machining will develop, validate, deploy, and maintain advanced manufacturing process specifications, standards, and process sheets for propulsion systems machining across North America.

Working through simultaneous engineering with Product Engineering, Industrial Strategy, Quality, plant engineering, tooling, and equipment suppliers, the role will translate product requirements into robust machining concepts, process flows, equipment and tooling specifications, and design-to-manufacturing rules.

Near term, the role will also develop advanced machining process cost estimates, assumptions, and methods.

This responsibility will transition to Industrial Strategy once the applicable standards, documentation, estimating methods, and formal handoff requirements are established.

The Underbody Process Engineering Standards Specialist-Machining will be responsible for the creation, validation, deployment, and maintenance of machining process standards and specifications, including:

• Single point referent for North America in collaborating with global Machining to contribute towards machining standards communization/communication of unique requirements for North America where applicable
• Develop and maintain propulsion machining process specifications, standards, design-to-manufacturing rules, process sheets, and standard process flows
• Lead advanced machining process development, prototype trials, validation, and continuous improvement for engine, transmission, e-Drive, and e-Motor components
• Translate product characteristics and quality requirements into machining operations, datum strategies, equipment, tooling, gauging, automation, material handling, coolant, filtration, and facility requirements
• Define process parameters, capability targets, validation criteria, and standard assumptions for cycle time, tool life, scrap, quality, labor, and throughput
• Develop near-term advanced machining process cost estimates, investment assumptions, and standard estimating methods
• Establish the documentation, readiness criteria, and formal handoff required to transition advanced process costing responsibility to Industrial Strategy
• Support product and process feasibility, tolerance reviews, PFMEA development, process capability analysis, and design-to-manufacturing workshops
• Develop concept layouts and process representations and support equipment supplier assessments, technical evaluations, and capability verification
