Mechanical Process and Automation Engineer

•  Responsible to implement, maintain, and improve manufacturing processes as well as to ensure technical availability of equipment in all shifts.
•  Aim to achieve Value Stream KPI’s such as relative utilization, internal defect cost by continuously improving other supporting KPI’s such as FOR and technical downtime.
•  New product introduction, equipment and process definition, acquisition, validation, and installation on production environment.
•  Develop procedures and instructions for technical processes.
•  Develop material to train process technicians.
•  Develop maintenance plans for equipment focused on preventive, predictive and corrective
• approaches.
Production Support:

•  Align all engineering efforts with the corresponding Value Stream main KPI’s.
•  Develop procedures, instructions, and training material for TPM.
•  Responsible to reach technical availability, cycle time, and defect cost targets and upper limits for the processes and equipment under his/her responsibility.
•  Ensure manufacturing process compliance with engineering principles, customer requirements,
• Bosch standards, and process specifications.
•  Train and instruct production and technical personnel.
•  Provide support according to the VS shift model.
• New Product / New Processes:
•  Get involved on the process to define, acquire, transfer, accept, validate, install, and release production processes and equipment according to Bosch standards.
•  Fulfill APQP planning: EWAK runs, Pre-PV’s, PV, and SOP.
•  Participate actively with MFE (manufacturing planning) on projects and new releases.
•  Responsible to prepare and implement the technical aspects of ECRs, following Bosch standards.
•  Participate with the corresponding international production network on the definition of the
• manufacturability of new products focused on topics such as process definition, product handling, cycle time, hardware design, among others.
• Process and equipment:
•  Develop and implement TPM (total productive maintenance) instructions, schedule, and provide training to the corresponding TPM technicians.
•  Develop SMED process for changeover standards.
•  Define the corresponding machine spare and wear parts and register them in tool crib.
•  Define, display, and control process parameters that are defined in official Bosch documents
• such as DMD’s, VVT’s, VAs, etc.
•  Comply with the machine capability and MSA standards for the processes under his/her responsibility, considering Quality best practices.
•  Develop and follow at every moment the continuous improvement approach (CIP).
•  Define reaction plans and troubleshooting guides for the process technicians.
•  Set standards and methods for process confirmation.
•  Actively exchange lessons learned from others and to others (e.g., Value Streams and IPN plants).
•  Use problem solving techniques to find root cause for every problem on the process/equipment.
• Aim to find, understand, and always attack the technical root cause (TRC) and managerial root cause (MRC).
•  Use project management techniques to manage internal and external projects.
•  Use Bosch Production System to establish production and CIP best practices.
•  Participate on PFMEA and Control Plan for assigned processes (new and current).
