About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Generate new VE/CE ideas from productivity events, design reviews, BOM reviews, supplier inputs, manufacturing feedback, field issues and benchmarking
- Check each idea for technical feasibility, cost saving potential, risk, validation needs and implementation effort
- Convert approved ideas into productivity or savings projects and drive them from concept to implementation
- Deliver savings while maintaining design intent, product performance, quality, safety and certification compliance
- Identify and execute Value Engineering and Component Engineering opportunities for PA products
- Review product designs, drawings, BOMs and manufacturing processes to find cost, quality, manufacturability and supply continuity improvements
- Generate cost-saving ideas through product teardown, benchmarking, supplier discussions, plant inputs and engineering reviews
- Evaluate ideas for savings value, technical feasibility, certification impact, quality risk and implementation timeline
- Prepare business cases for approved ideas and convert them into productivity or savings projects
- Lead savings projects from idea stage through design update, validation, qualification, ECO release and implementation
- Support alternate material, alternate supplier, localization, part commonization and design optimization projects
- Perform engineering assessments to ensure proposed changes meet product performance, reliability, safety and customer requirements
- Prepare and review 2D production drawings, 3D CAD models, design calculations, DFMEA, tolerance stack-up, qualification documents, ECN packages and technical reports
- Support certification and qualification impact assessments for design changes, including HazLoc products where applicable
- Work with sourcing and suppliers to evaluate alternate components, manufacturing processes and cost reduction proposals
- Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for product, manufacturing and field issues where design changes are needed
- Participate in design reviews and provide recommendations focused on cost, manufacturability, reliability and quality
Requirements
