Primary Function:
The Dry Coil Manufacturing Engineer will lead the design, optimization, and implementation of manufacturing processes for dry coils used in HVAC systems. This role ensures efficient, cost-effective production while maintaining high quality and compliance with BAC and industry standards.
Responsibilities include process design, equipment selection, production troubleshooting, fixture and tooling development and collaboration with cross-functional teams to drive continuous improvement.
Principal Duties & Responsibilities:
61 Manufacturing Process Design & Optimization:
o Develop and refine production processes for dry coil fabrication, including fin pressing, tube cutting, tube expanding, brazing, and assembly.
o Implement Lean Manufacturing to eliminate waste, reduce cycle times, and improve productivity and cost.
o Design tooling, jigs, and fixtures to enhance production efficiency and product consistency.
o Share best practices and align the manufacturing process over BAC global dry coil manufacturing plants.
61 Quality & Compliance:
o Work with QA teams to establish inspection quality control plan (e.g., leak testing, dimensional accuracy) and ensure compliance with ASHRAE, ISO standards and customer special requirement.
o Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for production defects and implement corrective actions (e.g., 8D report).
o Validate processes using statistical tools (e.g., Cpk, Ppk) to ensure capability.
61 Continuous Improvement:
o Identify opportunities and lead to reduce material, labor and manufacturing OH waste
o Monitor industry trends in HVAC and heat transfer technologies to seek improvement opportunities.
61 Production Support:
o Provide real-time troubleshooting support for production line issues (e.g., process parts defects, downtime).
o Train production staff on standard work, new processes.
o Monitor KPIs (Productivity, scrap rates, OEE etc.) and drive initiatives to meet targets.
61 New Product Introduction (NPI):
o Partner with Engineering to transition prototypes to full-scale production, ensuring manufacturability.
o Develop process validation plans (IQ/OQ) for new coil designs.
61 Documentation & Compliance:
o Create detailed work instructions, PFMEAs, and process flow diagrams.
