Job Description:
Identify problem areas requiring improvement as directed by business KPIs.
- Quantify the underlying contributory causes to the problems.
- Study the problem at hand of the contributory causes and propose solutions.
- Implement solutions including automation, mistake proofing, manufacturing procedures, etc.
- Sustain and continuously improve performance through the automated systems and processes.
- Plan, direct and co-ordinate hot rolling process improvements linked to PC&D systems to improve quality, efficiency and availability.
- Investigate all modelling and control system failures and associated deviations to implement corrective and preventive actions.
- Implement solutions to assist with process and product development in association with Level 1 or 2, Technical and Production departments through consultation with other disciplines/departments.
- Maintain and develop the following systems:
- Heat transfer modelling (finite element heat transfer Level 2 model) and combustion systems (Level 1).
- Rolling modelling (Level 2): Speed, temperature, forces, torques and flatness control models (including neural network).
- Level 1 thickness, flatness, strip cooling and coiling mostly feedback control systems.
- Expert System for continuous process parameter optimisation of the heating and rolling processes (including Fuzzy Logic).
- Weekly standby on a rotational basis with the other PC&D team members.
- Ensure compliance with the goals as defined in KPIs.
- Identify problems, investigate solutions and solve problems in order to achieve those goals.
- Constantly co-ordinate process deviations with all relevant parties.
- React and correct all substandard process conditions.
Job Requirements:
- BEng (Electrical, Electronic, Metallurgical or Mechanical) or Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- Experience in Software development (C, C++, C#, Visual Basic, etc.), specifically in the engineering control software field.
- Knowledge of Level 2 type first principle models for heating and rolling technology.
- Knowledge of how these Level 2 models are automatically calibrated using artificial intelligence or other simpler methods.
- Knowledge of control systems and instrumentation is a plus.
- Creative and strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Experience working in a manufacturing or industrial environment is a plus.
- Enjoys working in the field of engineering solution development.
