Global Process Engineer - Reliability & Maintenance

Global Process Engineer

The Global Process Engineer (GPE) will work closely with the Global Manufacturing Engineering Leader, the primary focus area will be developing and deploying global standards that improve the reliability, availability, and performance of Aero Alliance's manufacturing equipment and processes. They will analyze data, and work cross-functionally to implement proactive measures that improve processes. This person will also be responsible for cost reduction through standardization of equipment and processes, establishing standards, and ensuring adherence to these standards.

They will also be a focal point for new technology introductions, asset transfers, new process introductions; inclusive of lead time, technology selection and recommendations for fixturing, tooling, process, control plans, and qualifications of manufacturing assets. The GPE will coach and influence a dotted-line organization, comprised of factory manufacturing engineers across the Aero Alliance factories. Critical to the role is leveraging analytical skills, the lean methodology and the guiding principle of creating process standards for equipment ("One Product One Process") to drive SQDC in line with business and functional objectives.

The candidate chosen for this position will acquire strong technical knowledge and extensive exposure to manufacturing, engineering, quality, and safe process development. The selected candidate plays a key role in the Aero Alliance business, and in building a culture of inclusion and respect for people as well as continuous improvement.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Define, control, communicate Global maintenance processes for manufacturing assets, including: facility integration, acceptance testing, machine health checks & calibrations, preventative maintenance plans, spare parts strategy, technical & technology training.
• Develop a strategy & manage execution to deploy Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) across the Aero Alliance plants partnering with the stakeholders and integrating into the Lean Roadmap.
• Validate design specifications and shop floor application of new equipment. Including EHS, Manufacturing Engineers, Engineering, Quality, Materials, Industrialization, Materials, and Sourcing.
• Develop and implement reliability improvement strategies using industry best practices such as RCM (Reliability-Centered Maintenance), FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), and Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
• Monitor and analyze equipment performance and failure data to identify trends and areas for improvement.
• Collaborate with maintenance, operations, engineering, and safety teams to design and implement preventive and predictive maintenance programs.
• Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) for equipment reliability, and track progress against targets.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives aimed at reducing equipment downtime and maintenance costs.
• Lead investigations into equipment failures and chronic issues, identifying root causes and implementing long term solutions.
• Provide technical support for asset management, including equipment life cycle analysis and spare parts optimization.
• Participate in the design and installation of new equipment, ensuring reliability is considered from the outset (Design for Reliability).
• Requires specialized knowledge within the function. Influence the development of strategy for the area of responsibility, including control of resources and influences policy formulation.
• Interprets internal and external business challenges and recommends best practices to improve products, processes or services. Stays informed of industry trends that may inform work.
• Uses high level of judgment to make decisions and handle complex tasks or problems in areas of operational, product management, manufacturing, technology or engineering. Has ability to assess quality of information given and ask pertinent questions to stakeholders. Able to offer new solutions to problems outside of set parameters and is able to construct and provide recommendations. Uses multiple internal and some external sources outside of own function to help arrive at a decision.
• Will lead functional teams or projects with minimal resource requirements, risk, and/or complexity. Communicates difficult concepts and may influence others' options on particular topics. May guide others to consider a different point of view.

Additional Requirements:

• Engage design for Six Sigma methodology (DFSS), including, measuring existing machine capability, analyzing process requirements, and developing a strategy to maintain / improve process yield.
• Deploy lean principles, including, 3P (Production Preparation Process), Total Productive Maintenance, Jidoka, PQ/PR, Takt Cycle, Standard Work, Value Stream Maps, Kaizen, 4D/8D/A3 Problem Solving, and Poka Yoke.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree from an accredited university or college
• 7+ years of industrial experience in reliability and maintenance of manufacturing assets
• Strong…
