Coordinate sheet metal tooling process and ancillary processes with cradle‑to‑grave management of tooling assets. Ensure tooling meets desired process capability while providing cost‑effective manufacturing processes. Plan introduction of new products in the cooking factories with a focus on the tooling/stamping area. Interface with the Design Engineering department to ensure designs are suitable for full‑scale economic production. Interpret computer‑generated stamping simulations and integrate into tooling design.

Write specifications, solicit quotations, plan construction, run‑off, and acceptance of sheet metal forming/punching tools. Provide cost estimates for new part introduction to aid in make‑or‑buy sourcing activities. Provide process support for metal finishing and part washing. Specify and prepare capital appropriations for process‑supporting equipment. Conceptualize and implement factory cost‑reduction projects for labor, material, and overhead savings. Continuously improve stamping process through quality methods.

Develop and maintain supporting process documentation. Manage smooth incorporation of engineering changes into production. Design and establish work instructions per ISO requirements. Monitor systems regularly using key performance indicators such as OEE, equipment availability, and FPY. Drive and support improvement of first‑pass yield, final audit failure rates, and TCR. Design, evaluate, and improve safety and ergonomics of workstations and processes.

Design, implement, and improve material handling systems in support of lean manufacturing principles using analysis techniques such as process flow charting and simplified handling analysis. Generate and implement cost‑saving ideas. Maintain data in automated systems on the production floor and ensure availability of parameters for engineering changes. Use data analysis/SPC to drive improvements. Incorporate lean manufacturing principles in all areas of responsibility.

Create and evaluate a value stream map and design. Design and develop new equipment and fixturing to improve manufacturing operations. Lead continuous improvement projects within the factory. Study product requirements, design process/mathematical models to meet requirements and implement process changes. Handle research and innovation of process technology, prepare business case for implementation, and execute plans. Perform business analysis including cost‑benefit analysis for new product launches, process and engineering changes using principles of engineering economics.

Perform work independently with a high degree of latitude. Handle the most complex issues and problems and refer only the most complex issues to higher‑level staff. Analyze, discuss, and solve complex engineering problems with sub‑contractors and suppliers to avoid supply shortages and factory shutdowns.

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

• Five years of experience as a Tooling Engineer or in a role involving tool design and implementation with drawings and CAD software.

• Experience with manufacturing processes, AutoCAD or other CAD applications (SPC, plant layout, assembly line balancing, or ergonomics), tooling design, troubleshooting and maintenance, Class A surface stainless steel forming and drawing, ACAD and MS Office software, 3D CAD software such as Unigraphics, measuring equipment and devices, and software simulation and implementation of results into design.

10% domestic and international travel.
