Support the Short Cycle Manufacturing (SCM) operating model through the development and maintenance of product/process design packages, engineering drawings, manufacturing documentation, and New Product for Manufacturing (NPM) workflows. Partner with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure accurate implementation of engineering changes and the availability of standardized, production-ready documentation.

Essential Responsibilities:

• Develop, maintain, and control product/process design packages, engineering drawings, process data sheets, and related manufacturing documentation that support the SCM operating model, including rationalization and New Product Introduction (NPI) activities.

• Launch, execute, and manage NPM activities and workflows, ensuring engineering and manufacturing launches are properly developed, reviewed, approved, implemented, and documented.

• Launch, execute, and manage Management of Change (MOC) activities and workflows, ensuring engineering and manufacturing changes are properly developed, reviewed, approved, implemented, and documented.

• Maintain engineering document revision control within Product Data Management (PDM) and MOC execution; ensure the timely release, distribution, and availability of controlled documentation in Timken All Document Access (TADA).

• Plan, design, develop, and validate tooling and process related tasks to support manufacturing requirements and operational improvements.

• Provide technical leadership and engineering support for SCM operations, applying knowledge of manufacturing processes, engineering standards, shop practices, and operating procedures.

• Investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve manufacturing, tooling, gauging, process, and documentation issues to support production Key Performance Indicators (KPI), quality objectives, problem-solving and continuous improvement, and cost reduction initiatives.

• Collaborate with global engineering, manufacturing, quality, and production teams to achieve business objectives and support safe, efficient, and compliant operations.

• Investigate and resolve manufacturing-related customer complaints through root cause analysis, corrective action implementation, and continuous process improvement, including Design for Manufacturing (DFM).

• Collaborate with customers and cross-functional teams to understand performance concerns, develop and support effective product & process solutions, and ensure the protection of American Roller Bearing (ARB) & Timken intellectual property and proprietary information during all customer interactions.
