Duties & Responsibilities:
- Develop and implement preventive and predictive maintenance strategies to ensure high reliability and uptime of cable harness manufacturing equipment.
- Lead and supervise a team of technicians responsible for maintenance, calibration, troubleshooting, and repair of production and testing equipment.
- Manage and maintain calibration programs for testing equipment (e.g., continuity testers, hipot testers, crimp force analyzers) to ensure compliance with industry standards and customer requirements.
- Support production, engineering, and NPI (New Product Introduction) activities, including setup, installation, and qualification of new machinery and production lines.
- Monitor equipment performance (e.g., crimping machines, wire cutting/stripping machines, automated assembly lines) and implement predictive maintenance to minimize downtime.
- Develop and maintain technical documentation, including SOPs, maintenance procedures, calibration records, and equipment logs.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance equipment efficiency, reduce breakdowns, and optimize maintenance costs.
- Evaluate and recommend new equipment, tooling, and upgrades through technical and cost-benefit analysis.
- Ensure proper training of operators and technicians on equipment usage, safety standards, and basic troubleshooting.
- Ensure compliance with EHS (Environment, Health & Safety) standards and industry regulations (e.g., IPC/WHMA-A-620 where applicable).
- Coordinate with external vendors for specialized maintenance, spare parts, and equipment servicing.
- Perform other duties as assigned by the Plant Manager or General Manager.
