PROCESS ENGINEER - WELDING

The Welding Process Engineer owns all facets of their assigned process including training, production support, corrective action, continuous improvement, and maturity.

The Welding Process engineer will develop new techniques, tools, methods, and equipment to improve the maturity of their process as they work to meet the goals and metrics of the business. Additionally, the Process Engineer will provide technical support for production, address manufacturing issues, disposition non-conforming product, and perform root cause corrective action to prevent future issues.

Welding processes at Chromalloy Mexicali consist of Resistance, TIG, and Laser welding of superalloys used in the manufacture and repair of turbine engine components. As the owner of the welding process the engineer will be responsible for creating and maintaining WQPs/WPSs for production processes, equipment support and improvement, yield improvement / rework reduction, and development of new methods.

Responsibilities include:

• Apply CI tools and concepts on product/process subsystems or manufacturing systems
• Optimize the production process, product design using a robust lean problem-solving methodology, with quantifiable impact to business metrics
• Develop KPIs to effectively manage process and product outcomes
• Utilize project management skills to lead assigned projects/programs to successful completion considering technical, budgetary, manpower and schedule requirements
• Own technical aspects of assigned components and or processes from initial concept through all manufacturing stages.
