Junior Design for Manufacturability Engineer

Key Responsibilities1. Design for Manufacturability Review

• Review 3D models, drawings, and BOM for manufacturability issues.
• Validate tolerance stack-up, GD&T, process feasibility, and assembly fit.
• Recommend design improvements for machining, sheet metal, casting, forging, fabrication, and molding processes.

2. Feasibility & Process Assessment

• Conduct DFM and MFR analysis; provide structured feedback reports.
• Collaborate with suppliers to evaluate feasibility, tooling requirements, and process capabilities.
• Support APQP and PPAP documentation during project execution.

3. Cost Optimization

• Identify cost drivers and propose alternatives for cost reduction.
• Work closely with KAM, Sourcing, and Quality teams to evaluate material choices and optimal process routes.

4. Collaboration & Cross-Functional Support

• Work with Design Engineers to refine CAD models for production readiness.
• Coordinate with Manufacturing Engineers (Sourcing, Execution & Quality) to validate process flows, tooling, and fixture requirements.
• Participate in NPI reviews, PFMEA sessions, prototype builds, and design validation activities.

5. Documentation & Standards

• Prepare DFM and MFR reports, feasibility studies, and risk assessments.
• Maintain design guidelines, best practices, and manufacturability checklists.

Skills & QualificationsTechnical Skills
