Stamping Expert

Human Resources Assistant | Arts Enthusiast | Creative Storyteller Main Responsibilities

• Lead the design, validation, and optimization of stamping processes for ladder frame structural components.
• Define press selection (600T–6,000T transfer and tandem presses), die design parameters, and forming strategies for HSLA, AHSS, and UHSS steels.
• Oversee forming simulations (Auto Form, PAM-STAMP, DYNAFORM) to ensure manufacturability, springback control, and cost efficiency.
• Drive tooling standardization across global ladder frame programs to reduce lead time and cost.
• Act as the technical authority for stamping operations, leading troubleshooting of forming issues (splits, wrinkles, galling, springback).
• Develop and enforce best practices for die setup, press operation, and tool maintenance.
• Support production ramp-up, ensuring throughput, OEE, and safety metrics are achieved.
• Coordinate with welding, e-coat, and assembly teams to ensure stamped parts flow seamlessly downstream.

• Lead dimensional quality control for ladder frame parts, implementing SPC, MSA, and GD&T adherence.
• Own PPAP, APQP, and PFMEA deliverables for stamping processes.
• Collaborate with quality teams to implement corrective actions and ensure compliance with OEM specifications.
• Conduct root cause analysis and develop countermeasures to reduce scrap, rework, and customer returns.
• Manage relationships with steel suppliers, tool shops, and press equipment vendors.
• Support sourcing decisions, supplier audits, and technical reviews for stamping feasibility.
• Act as the stamping subject matter expert in OEM technical reviews, providing justification on capability and limits.
• Represent stamping engineering in cross‑functional program teams (manufacturing, product engineering, supply chain).
• Introduce innovative solutions such as servo‑press optimization, digital twins, and predictive analytics for die wear.
• Drive lean initiatives, cost‑reduction programs, and yield improvement projects.
• Mentor engineers, toolmakers, and production staff, developing organizational stamping expertise.
• Standardize best practices across multiple plants/programs for stamping consistency.
