Stamping Process Engineer

YOUR ROLE

• Act as the process owner for assigned manufacturing processes, ensuring they are standardized, stable, and robust throughout their lifecycle. This includes performing process design, qualification, and release to series production, defining and validating key process parameters, and ensuring economical, high quality manufacturing conditions.
• Prepare and maintain all required process documentation and approvals while supporting product and process design activities, as well as equipment specification and procurement during industrialization phases.
• Drive continuous improvement across manufacturing processes, with a strong focus on quality, equipment availability, cycle time and changeover optimization, and scrap and material waste reduction.
• Apply and further develop KVP and PDCA methodologies to identify root causes of performance losses and define effective corrective and preventive actions.
• Develop improvement proposals and prepare business cases that support decisions on process and equipment investments.
• Monitor assigned processes, evaluating performance, efficiency, scrap rates, and downtime. Conduct detailed analyses to identify causes of productivity losses and deviations from expected performance, supporting Quality in investigating quality issues and contributing to corrective actions, ensuring that process stability and capability are maintained.
• Provide hands‑on support to production teams during machine setups, process adjustments, and optimization activities. Play a key role in process and product trials—supporting sampling, validation, and documentation—while actively participating in the industrialization and introduction of new products, tools, and equipment into series production.
• Ensure a stable ramp‑up phase and a smooth handover to production.
• Collaborate closely with Maintenance to analyze the root causes of machine downtime and support predictive and preventive maintenance strategies. Ensure responsible handling of tools, fixtures, equipment, and production assets, contributing to efficient and safe operations throughout the plant.
• Ensure compliance with all applicable Health, Safety, Environmental, and Quality standards, actively promoting safe working practices and taking immediate action when risks are observed. Maintain order and cleanliness (5S) within the assigned area to support operational discipline and safety. The role is authorized to stop machines or production lines when quality or safety standards are compromised.
