Job Title: Electric Vehicle Production Engineer
- Foundational understanding of structural mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermal systems, and electrical circuits is necessary, with an emphasis on preparing for electric vehicle production.
- Strong writing and documentation skills are essential. Excellent communication skills are required to interact with both engineering teams and workers, ensuring tasks are completed effectively.
- A background in mathematics is needed to optimize workflows and balance cells. Experience with CAD software such as Catia is required.
- Solid understanding of how to properly use standard tools, as well as familiarity with work processes and workflows in a plant environment, is important. A genuine appreciation for working in a plant and respect for workers is necessary.
- Experience with ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems is a plus.
- Strong critical thinking abilities and a willingness to learn independently are essential.
- Must be diligent, ambitious, and careful. You may be responsible for overseeing the entire plant's production processes and driving improvements.
- Optimal EV offers abundant growth opportunities, and we welcome you to join us and grow together.
Job Responsibilities:
- Review build prints issued by the Engineering team to assess their feasibility and efficiency before production. Focus on the production of EV vehicles, including EV Chassis and EV Buses.
- Release the build prints to workers: 1) Manage revision history (e.g., -AA, -AB, -AC), understand the differences, and determine when to use them. 2) Fully comprehend the design intentions behind the build prints and explain the work content to the workers. 3) During installation, verify that the work aligns with the build print's intentions. If deviations occur, issue a deviation request and seek approval. Ensure a deep understanding of the design, including mechanical (structures), thermal (coolants), and electrical (wire harnesses) aspects, and communicate issues to the engineering team as needed.
- Interpret the sales order and work order, ensure build prints align with them, and verify that the required parts are ordered in time, all these documents are available in the ERP system. If discrepancies arise, communicate with the engineering and purchasing teams.
- Documenting manufacturing issues and feedback: If issues are design-related, submit feedback to the engineering team through an Engineering Change Request (ECR). If the design proves successful, provide positive feedback to the engineering team for approval.
- Write standard work instructions for yourself and review those written by others.
- Write training materials for workers, participate in training sessions, and explain work content and the proper use of tools.
- Establish quality check points based on build print requirements, such as torques, gaps, electrical connectors, and coolant hose clamps. Develop a quality checklist and obtain approval from the engineering team.
- Manage the calibration of tools like torque wrenches on a regular basis. Track calibration history and handle calibration either in-house or by outsourcing.
- Assist in designing templates or jigs to support production and quality checks.
- Utilize mathematical tools to optimize workflow and balance work cells.
- Eventually take responsibility for constructing the Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM) based on the Engineering Bill of Materials (EBOM).
- Over time, learn and propose advanced technologies that can enhance plant processes through automation and digitization, improving efficiency and reducing labor costs. Complete your assigned tasks while also mastering new technologies.
Education:
- Bachelor's degree
Work Hours:
- 6 am to 3 pm (same as regular production time at a plant).
