Sr. Product Engineer

SUMMARYProduct Engineers are responsible for the dimensional capability, integrity and tooling aspects of assigned part numbers. They coordinate closely with CCTC Tooling Department to ensure adherence to best practices and collaborate with CCTC Ceramic Cores to maximize core quality and subsequent casting yields. Additionally, product engineers support process (metallurgical/NDT) engineers with gating concept designs and solid model manipulations and work together as a team to maximize casting yields.ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES include the following. Other duties may be assigned.Review customer specifications and blueprints to determine the procedures, testing, and routing sequences required to meet the dimensional requirements.Utilize process knowledge, basic engineering principles, previous experience, and creativity as necessary to develop processes that result in the production of quality castings that conform to customer specifications and time tables.Participate in plant initiatives to support the reduction of scrap, rework and overall casting cost.  Initiatives include but not limited to daily scrap reviews, development of Statistical Process Control (SPC) for significant process steps and participation in cost improvement teamsDevelop and maintain manufacturing work instructions and Engineering Specifications.Develop new technology to support part number and plant initiatives.Reviews all layouts, tool reworks and tool construction as necessary to ensure consistency and repeatability of process results.Other duties as assigned.
