Jay Carmona

· Recommended arrangement of machines within plant facilities for maximum productivity.

· Worked directly with various types of fabrication equipment and gained an understanding of overall manufacturing operations.

· Applied analytical skills and scientific technical principles in problem-solving and development.

· Integrated statistics into process improvement projects and supported total productive maintenance in production.

· Tracked industrial trends in relevant applications and technologies, manufacturing practices, and engineering tools.

· Quote incoming opportunities for cost, risk, and strategic outlook.

· Provide sales with information pertinent to the project such as sell price, lead time, long lead time components, and manufacturing plan when required.

· Coordinate manufacturing reviews with customers at the time of quote to develop a manufacturing strategy/plan and subsequently, quote the project accordingly.

· Perform timely Contract Reviews upon receipt of purchase order:

· To include a precursory review of drawings, specifications, and other related documents thorough enough to competently complete the Contract Review Form for which Application/Process Engineers are responsible.

· Determine if any special materials, processes, and/or testing are required, including long lead‐time raw materials or fabrications, rolling, machining, coating, plating, hardware, electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic assemblies.

· Flow information that is contrary, contradictory, or earlier unseen, could prove to be detrimental to the project to Sales.

· Coordinate Engineering activities in the assigned team are being carried out effectively and managed to release dates as specified on engineering dispatch; either by directly performing, or delegating to Drafting Technician, Engineering Assistant, or others within a team:

· Shop drawing creation, along with CAD geometry for shop floor CNC Programming

· Coordinate overall schedule to meet customers’ needs for Cost, Quality, and Delivery

· Ensure drawings are created with manufacturability in mind – ‘Design for Manufacturability.’

· Ensure drawings are checked for common errors, and correct raw materials are utilized.

· Utilize ERP system to create routings and review job performance through:

· Work Instructions, Fixturing, Shop support, closed Job reports.

· Positive and effective Shop Floor interaction

· Review production status through daily walk-throughs

· Conduct effective Kick‐Off and Pre‐Production meetings, document, and incorporate information into valuable drawings and work instructions.

· Resolve in‐depth drawing and specification questions from fabricators, machinists, welders, painters, and outside vendors.

· Effective and decisive interaction with Quality Assurance & Inspection

· Create appropriate quality inspection plans as directed by customer specifications.

· Resolve issues that arise during the build process.

· Conduct effective MRBs & documents.

· Communicate with customers about various issues that may arise during the build process.

· Financial responsibility for projects (material, process, and time estimates) to meet expected gross margin.

• Removed and repaired unacceptable welds with an air arc and grinder to meet quality guidelines.
• Operated hoists, cranes, and power tools to dismantle equipment to find and remove defective parts.
• Inspected welds and checked critical measurements to meet specifications.
• Completed welding projects using gas tungsten arc, gas metal arc, flux-cored arc, plasma arc, and shielded metal arc equipment.
• Welding aluminum, aluminized steel, and stainless-steel assemblies with TIG and MIG as specified by the blueprint, Solidworks model, and work instructions.
