Process Engineer, Drive Unit/Battery Pack

What to Expect

The Drive Unit Process Engineer will work with cross-functional teams to aggressively ramp newly

launched products to full-scale production and beyond. The Drive Unit Process Engineer’s primary

responsibilities are: Analyze and Improve Process KPI’s like First part Yield, Yield, Cycle Time, Scrap

and OEE. Recognizing Trends. Implementing new technology and cost reduction plan.

What You’ll Do

• Review critical process metrics daily for statistical shifts from nominal and develop game plans to address
• Identify and/or develop critical process monitors and metrics for Drive Unit, Stator, Rotor and Assembly.
• Use to diagnose issues found during the manufacturing process, efficiently identify root cause, react (but also plan proactively)
• Guide and develop roadmaps for aggressive improvement to OEE metrics: Yield, Cycle Time,
