Industrialization Engineer – Pile Driving Equipment

Overview

Oversee industrialization of pile driving equipment, ensuring efficient, cost-effective production.

Key Responsibilities

• quality assurance
• factory testing
• process optimization
• cost control
• supply chain
• manufacturability

Tasks

-Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate with engineering, project management, and manufacturing teams to ensure smooth coordination and alignment throughout the industrialization process. -Quality Assurance and Compliance: Ensure that external manufacturers adhere to quality standards, regulatory requirements, and specifications for the pile driving equipment. Conduct regular reviews and audits to verify quality control processes. -Testing and Validation: Oversee factory acceptance tests (FAT), ensure that equipment meets performance criteria, and collaborate with manufacturers to address any issues identified during testing. -Manufacturing Process Optimization: Collaborate with external manufacturers to improve production processes and ensure manufacturability, identifying opportunities for cost reductions, process improvements, and risk mitigation. -Cost Control and Budget Management: Work with external manufacturers to manage production costs and ensure that the equipment is produced within budget, finding cost-effective solutions without compromising quality. -Problem-Solving and Issue Resolution: Address and resolve any manufacturing or design issues that arise during the industrialization process, working with both internal teams and external suppliers to find practical solutions. -Equipment Sourcing and Vendor Collaboration: Work closely with external manufacturers to ensure the design, production, and delivery of pile driving equipment align with our project requirements, timelines, and quality standards. -Supply Chain and Logistics Coordination: Work with procurement, logistics, and project management teams to ensure that the right materials, components, and production schedules are in place to support the manufacturing of pile driving equipment. -Design for Manufacturability: Provide input during the design phase to ensure that equipment is designed with manufacturability in mind, including simplifying assembly and ensuring that designs are robust for mass production. -Industrialization Strategy: Develop and implement industrialization strategies for pile driving equipment, ensuring the efficient transition from prototype to mass production while meeting cost, quality, and lead-time objectives.
