Areas of responsibility

List statements that describe the primary results or areas of responsibility for which this position is held accountable. Clearly define up to 5 or 6 meaningful responsibilities that describe complete units of work, rather than individual steps, tasks or details that are required to complete an entire unit of work. 列出这个职位的主要成果或职责范围。清晰地列出5-6个完整的工作职责,而非完成整项工作所需的单个步骤,任务或细节

  • Process Design & Development: Lead the design, development, and implementation of robust manufacturing processes 
  • Technical Documentation: Author, review, and approve critical process documentation, including Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), process parameters, and set-up sheets to ensure precision and repeatability.
  • Troubleshooting: Serve as the ultimate technical authority for resolving complex and chronic production issues (e.g., melt fracture, insulation eccentricity, adhesion problems, dielectric failures) using structured root cause analysis (RCA) methods (e.g., 5 Whys, 8D, FMEA)
  • Process Monitoring & Improvement: Continuously monitor key processes (extrusion, twisting, cabling, armoring, shielding) and optimize critical parameters (temperature, line speed, tension, cooling) to maximize yield, reduce waste, and improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
  • Material Expertise: Provide deep expertise on polymer materials (XLPE, PVC, PE, TPE) and conductors. Evaluate material properties, conduct trials, and resolve quality issues stemming from material variability.
  • Quality Leadership: Lead cross-functional teams to address major non-conformities and customer complaints, implementing effective Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA).
  • Standardization: Develop and uphold internal process standards to ensure strict compliance with international standards (e.g., IEC, UL, ASTM) and customer-specific requirements
  • Cost-Saving Initiatives: Drive projects to reduce material consumption (e.g., optimizing tolerance control), lower energy usage, and decrease scrap rates, directly impacting the product's cost structure.
  • Lean Manufacturing: Implement Lean principles and continuous improvement (Kaizen) initiatives to eliminate waste and streamline production flow
  • Technical Liaison for Equipment: Play a key role in the specification, selection, installation, commissioning, and validation of new production equipment
  • Project Leadership: Manage and execute process improvement projects and New Product Introduction (NPI) projects from conception to completion, ensuring they are delivered on time and within budget
  • Mentoring & Training: Provide expert guidance, training, and mentorship to junior engineers and production technicians to elevate the team's overall technical competency
  • Knowledge Management: Systematize technical knowledge by creating best practice guides and maintaining a central repository of process knowledge
