Production Engineers
Production engineers are highly skilled and independent critical thinkers with proven knowledge of computer-aided design (CAD) software and Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA). They are eager to improve lean production processes while working alongside innovative engineering teams within the industrial or commercial sectors.
Production engineers search for ways to optimise production processes while working together with diverse and highly skilled team members in design, manufacturing, and/or supply chain roles. Working in production systems engineering, the engineers are involved in product manufacturing from end-to-end requiring both flexibility and proactiveness. Production engineers must be detail oriented while never losing focus of the big picture.
Production systems engineering expertise is crucial to product manufacturing in a broad range of industries. Some of the popular industries right now include software, pharmaceuticals, automotive, aerospace, renewable energy, food and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), among others.
In the pharmaceutical industry for instance, a production engineer may be responsible for minimising bottlenecks in the production of high-quality medicines. In the aerospace sector, an engineer in production may oversee the assembly of an airplane engine.
In fact, all the products that enter our homes have been carefully thought out and planned out by a production engineer at one point in the lifecycle.
