• Ensure processes meet technical specifications, quality standards, and customer requirements.

2. Technical Production Support

• Provide hands-on engineering support to troubleshoot and resolve production issues.
• Lead root-cause analysis (RCA) and corrective actions for nonconformities, failures, and test deviations.
• Support operators and supervisors with technical guidance and training.

3. Equipment, Tooling & Automation

• Specify, evaluate, and implement machinery, tooling, and fixtures required for manufacturing (e.g., winding machines, core-lifting fixtures, insulation tools, robotic systems).
• Improve equipment reliability and capability in coordination with Maintenance.
• Lead automation and modern manufacturing technology initiatives.

4. Quality & Standards Compliance

• Ensure adherence to IEC, IEEE, ANSI, and customer-specific technical requirements.
• Support internal and external audits and prepare technical documentation.
• Work with Quality Engineering to define inspection criteria and improve defect detection.

5. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with Design Engineering to ensure manufacturability of new transformer designs.
• Participate in design reviews, advising on DFM (Design for Manufacturability).
• Coordinate with Supply Chain,Testing, QA, and Operations on daily and strategic projects.

6. Continuous Improvement & Lean Manufacturing

• Lead Lean, 5S, Kaizen, and waste-reduction initiatives across the plant.
• Drive process standardization and documentation of best practices.
• Support cost-reduction initiatives through material, design, and process optimization.

7. Project Leadership

• Manage technical projects such as new production line deployment, equipment upgrades, and manufacturing capability expansion.
• Prepare project plans, cost estimates, and timelines.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering.

• 58+ years of experience in power transformer manufacturing or heavy electrical equipment manufacturing.

• Strong knowledge of transformer components, winding methods, insulation systems, assembly processes, and HV testing.

• Proven experience in process improvements, tooling development, and troubleshooting.

• Proficiency with CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Creo) and ERP systems.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with large power transformers.

• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or similar methodologies.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

• Hands-on experience with robotics or automation is a plus.
