Shift Schedule: 7:30am - 4:00pm
The leads continuous improvement for Relays manufacturing by developing, implementing, and sustaining process improvements that raise safety, quality, delivery, and cost performance. This role works independently on moderately complex projects, leads cross-functional improvement teams across shifts, and mentors junior engineers and technicians.
This position may involve working with technical data, technology, software/source code, hardware, or other items (collectively "items") subject to U.S. and non-U.S. export control laws and regulations. Under these regulations, it may be necessary for TE to verify a candidate's national origin and/or citizenship status to determine whether a U.S. or other government export license is required prior to releasing its technologies to the candidate. If TE determines that TE will require a license or will be prohibited by applicable laws from providing the candidate with items necessary for the performance of this position, then TE expressly reserves the right to either a) make an offer of employment contingent upon TE receiving required export licenses from the appropriate government agency, b) consider the candidate for a different position that is not subject to such restrictions, on whatever terms and conditions TE shall establish in its sole discretion, or c) decline to move forward with the candidate's application.
Lead continuous improvement projects for Relays product lines (e.g., coil winding, contact and armature assembly, welding, sealing) using and methods such as DMAIC, value stream mapping, and root cause analysis
Plan and facilitate kaizen events, 5S, standard work, and setup-reduction initiatives, and sustain the gains with documented controls
Drive measurable improvements in safety, quality, delivery, and cost, including yield, scrap, cycle time, OEE, and first-pass test results
Analyze production and test data (SPC, capability studies, Pareto, trend analysis) to find systemic issues in contact resistance, pick-up/drop-out voltage, and hermetic seal integrity, and implement lasting corrective and preventive actions
Lead structured problem solving (8D, 5-Why, fishbone) for escalated production and customer quality issues
Provide engineering support to relay assembly lines and resolve complex process issues across shifts
Develop and maintain PFMEAs, control plans, work instructions, and process validation documentation, and conduct MSA on gauges and test equipment
Support new relay product introductions, with emphasis on design for manufacturability, process development, tooling, fixtures, and smooth transition to production
Prepare justification, specification, selection, and implementation plans for capital projects such as automated assembly, welding, and test equipment, including ROI and payback analysis
Partner with Quality, Supply Chain, Maintenance, and Production teams to align improvement priorities and coordinate with 2nd and 4th shift teams for continuity
Mentor Manufacturing Engineer I staff, technicians, and operators on continuous improvement tools and practices
Report project status, savings, and KPIs to site leadership, and ensure compliance with applicable safety, quality, and regulatory requirements
