Senior DFx Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Advanced knowledge of and the ability to incorporate DFx best practices to optimize product cost, quality and manufacturing cycle time. Leads medium complexity programs in DFX BKM process and tools development. Monitors industry and marketplace trends, exploring new tools and techniques. Mentors more junior DFX engineers.
• Analyzes high complexity designs to ensure components and assemblies are manufacturable and produceable.

Collaborates with key suppliers on manufacturability and produceability improvements on designs. Leads medium complexity programs with cross-functional teams to develop produceability, manufacturability, and assembly-related BKMs. Coaches more junior engineers on how to identify and execute manufacturability, produceability, and assembly improvements according to DFx principles.

• Evaluates and implements high complexity cost reduction ideas to reduce part/assembly costs in the machined, sheet metal, frames, and plastic commodities.

Identifies use cases for commonly used OEM's to leverage re-use. Very good knowledge of how cost apportionment drives cost reduction opportunities and priorities. Leads medium complexity programs to develop and improve BKM's in product cost tools and processes. Complexity -complex BTP parts, OEM's, and medium complexity assemblies ; $500 - $1500

• Advanced knowledge of ITO principles. Identifies and implements opportunities to maximize core content, and ensure late configurability in the manufacturing sequence on highly complex modules or products. Leads medium complexity programs with cross-functional teams to develop ITO BKMs. Coaches others on how to identify and execute ITO improvements.
• Advanced understanding of shipping/cargo restrictions by mode of transportation, customer facilities restrictions, and proper labeling.

Ensures proper crate packaging on highly complex assemblies/modules to prevent product damage during transportation. Coaches others on how to identify and execute transportability improvements. Leads medium complexity programs with cross functional teams to develop tools and processes that improve transportability. Researches, pilots and implements intelligent packaging technologies.

• Performs virtual review of highly complex assembly/module 3D models and review of initial physical builds to identify and eliminate aesthetic issues (cable routing, color, consistency of mating features/surfaces, etc). Leads medium complexity programs with cross functional teams to development aesthetics-related BKM's. Leverages lessons learned from like products to ensure aesthetic consistency.
• Participates in design reviews, providing advanced level of DFX input focused on manufacturability, produce ability, cost, assembly, test, transportability, and aesthetics.

Lead PLC DFX workshop (partner with Program Manager) to align on scope for DFX review (functional description, cost apportionment, mfg strategy, etc). Leads medium complexity programs with cross functional teams to develop BKM's in DMU and DFX workshop processes and tools.
