Job Description Summary

Activities contributing to the product design improvement for manufacturability, design of tools, jigs and fixtures for easy manufacturability of HVDC Transformers and co-ordination with manufacturing process engineers for process improvement, SOP generation and improvement projects. Includes activities linked to technical improvement of existing products and components Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.
