PED - Production Engineering Department

Role & responsibilities

• Lead aluminum die casting operations

  , focusing on high-pressure die casting (HPDC) and low-pressure die casting (LPDC) technologies.

• Set and optimize machine parameters

  to ensure consistent casting quality and reduced cycle times.

• Implement and monitor SPC (Statistical Process Control)

  systems to proactively identify and correct process deviations.

• Review and validate product specifications

  , ensuring compliance with dimensional tolerances and metallurgical standards.

• Collaborate directly with end customers

  to address quality concerns, conduct reviews, and ensure satisfaction.

• Design and deploy modular fixtures

  for flexible line setups, enabling quick changeovers and multi-product adaptability.

• Lead critical process interventions

  , including root cause analysis, corrective actions, and preventive measures.

• Train and mentor production teams

  on best practices in die casting, machine setup, and quality control.

• Drive continuous improvement initiatives

  using lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and Kaizen methodologies.

• Maintain detailed documentation

  of process parameters, quality metrics, and customer feedback.
