- Own the technical development of a tool for plastic injection or stamped sheet metal components
- Drive clarity of design benefits, risks, impacts through DFM between supplier and eero engineering.
- Analyze mold flow, simulation software, drawings, and other data to determine scope of work, estimated cost, and lead-time for fabrication.
- Evaluates tool designs, drives completion of tool qualifications, first article inspection, cosmetic quality, process validation, failure analysis, process changes and risk analysis
- Deliver a qualified, repeatable, production process which yields industry best-in-class cosmetic components.
- Plan for maintenance and engineering changes
- Employ statistical principles for part qualification
- Collaborate with product design team and manufacturing design engineer on product architecture to ensure success in mass production.
- Partner with SQE to drive yield improvement at supplier
- Monitor and validate existing molding processes and molds to identify improvement opportunities
- Track defects and address failure Pareto for technical modifications contributing to improvement.
- Deliver daily updates as to tooling status, readiness, issues and reasons for downtime
- Drive vendors to justify all modifications
Beyond Plastic Injection Molding tools:
- Work cross functionally with the in-region mechanical team to support plastic part related DOE's at the CM and plastic supplier
- Be a mechanical resource for secondary operations for molded plastics
- Assist in production related issues during FATP relating to custom tooled components
- Perform root cause analysis on assembly failures caused by custom tooled components
- Work cross functionally with all departments to ensure all components and assemblies meet or exceed eero's cosmetic standards
