Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

Define, standardize, and control production processes for CFM BX and PP20 parts to make them flow-line ready-including tooling, fixturing, and equipment-across assembly, braze, and wire EDM.

Validate design specifications and shop-floor application for new tools and equipment; ensure process readiness for ECNs and ramp-to-rate.

Monitor and improve key metrics to stabilize and sustain LEAP flow-line performance (e.g., OEE, FPY,on critical features, processing time, on-time-to-schedule) and deploy data-driven countermeasures.

Apply structured problem solving (A3/8D/KATA), PFMEA, control plans, MSA, and SPC to increase process capability, reduce defects, and improve first-pass yield.

Use sound judgment to resolve complex, interdependent production issues; propose solutions beyond set parameters to improve takt adherence and reduce cycle time.

Lead projects, manage risks and resources, and coordinate cross-functionally (Quality, EHS, Supply Chain, Maintenance) to achieve SQDIP objectives.

Coach and mentor operators and early-career engineers; reinforce standard work, visual controls, and layered accountability to sustain improvements.

Benchmark best practices and competitive differentiators; integrate learnings to strengthen flow-line performance and special process compliance (e.g., braze).
