Execute tasks with a focus on cost, quality, and timing.

Foster a team-player attitude within both the home and interacting organizations.

Ensure all activities comply with environmental, health, safety, compliance, and security regulations.

Assess the feasibility of Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), estimating time and cost for implementation.

Collaborate with the CAD Tech Lead, ECO/Machining Lead, and Toolmakers to develop and execute plans for stamping die modifications, quality improvements, new designs, and repairs.

Lead full-cycle implementation of ECOs, including data overlays, die design modifications, and coordination with the Tool & Die ECO team and vendors.

Support the development of a standard spare parts catalog for new projects.

Attend change control meetings to prioritize Model Y ECOs and modification requests, focusing on quality, cost, and lessons learned.

Implement 3D die design modifications based on Engineering Change Orders.

Support the engineering team in executing Die Modification Requests (DMRs) to improve dimensional quality, fit, and overall body accuracy in BIW panels.

Analyze reports on die-related downtime and part quality to develop methods that reduce Mean Time to Failure (MTTF), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and improve part quality.

Collaborate with global teams to implement systems aimed at defect reduction, with a target of zero defects.

Assist in creating standards to enhance the efficiency of Tool & Die systems and lead initiatives for continuous improvement.

Provide technical support during die design, vendor buy-off, and home line trials for new model dies.

Independently generate or modify AUTOFORM simulations for vehicle stamping parts, including die design, process planning, and springback compensation.

Lead technical reviews of die designs, patterns, cast models, and checking fixtures to prevent production issues.

Document lessons learned and ensure their application in future projects.
