JOB DESCRIPTION
We are looking for a Manufacturing Engineering Process Engineer passionate about new product launches, engineering change management, and continuous improvement in highly automated assembly. In this role, you will be the technical owner of the assembly process for the current and new program at the Irapuato Electric Powertrain Center (IEPC). You will manage product and tooling changes end to end, validate processes and equipment through launch milestones, and turn plant opportunities into financially justified investment projects, working closely with Product Development, Quality, Maintenance, Industrial Engineering, and equipment suppliers.
You will report to the Launch Manager, work closely with Manufacturing Engineering Team Manager during launch, and coach skilled trade technicians.
Engineering Change Governance: Lead the Manage the Change (MTC) and WERS process for the business unit. Assess the impact of product design and tooling changes on cycle time, stations, headcount, equipment, schedule, and cost. Make sure process sheets, work instructions, and station configurations are updated with every approved change, and represent manufacturing in product team meetings (TPMT/CPMT).
Process Validation and Launch Readiness: Take part in early design reviews (DFMA/PFMEA), weekly equipment validation meetings, supplier run-offs, and machine acceptance. Support Production Trial Runs (PTR1–PTR3) and the production ramp-up, and support Workstation Readiness. Capture findings, track closure of open issues (CCAR/AIM/JIRA/JAMA), and confirm that equipment and error-proofing meet requirements before release to production.
Investment Projects and Business Cases: Identify losses and savings opportunities, and build the financial justification for efficiency and CAPEX projects. Register them in corporate systems (MEARS, SAP, CIB). Coordinate process evaluation sheets and cost study requests (PES/CSR), and package technical needs to compete for annual investment funds.
