Position Objective:
• The Weaving Design Engineer is responsible for converting customer CAD drawings into weaving machine-ready design files, ensuring dimensional accuracy, manufacturability, and product quality. The role acts as a technical bridge between customers' CAD design providers and the weaving production process.
Position Scope
• Report to the Industrial
Engineering Manager or Process Development Manager / Manufacturing Center Manager.
• Support the APDS process and continuous process improvements.
• Follow and promote all ALV Vietnam policies and procedures.
• Support intra department activities.
Tasks/ Responsibilities: (Main Activities)
Design Data Handling & Conversion
• Receive and review CAD drawings and technical specifications from customers.
• Convert customer CAD drawings into weaving machine design software formats (e.g., jacquard or loom software).
• Optimize designs to meet weaving process capabilities and material limitations.
• Ensure all transferred designs maintain original functional intent and dimensional requirements.
Technical Coordination & Design Clarification
• Communicate directly with customer CAD drawing creators or internal design teams to clarify requirements.
• Identify and resolve minor design issues such as tolerances, unclear dimensions, weave feasibility, or missing information.
• Provide technical feedback and suggestions to improve design manufacturability without affecting customer intent.
Dimensional Verification & Physical Measurement
• Measure real woven products using appropriate measuring tools (calipers, rulers, templates, etc.).
• Compare actual product dimensions against design drawings and specifications.
• Analyze deviations and identify root causes related to design, machine settings, or material behavior.
• Propose corrective actions and update design files as required.
Documentation & Design Control
• Maintain accurate design records, revisions, and change histories.
• Ensure all approved designs are properly released for production.
• Support engineering documentation related to weaving design standards and best practices.
Cross-Functional Support
• Cooperate closely with Production, Quality, and Process Engineering teams to support trials, first articles, and mass production.
• Support problem-solving activities related to weaving design issues in production or customer feedback.
• Organize and lead internal related activities according to project timing plan, take in charge of all project related things from project build-up to mass production;
• Interface with PTL as the plant project window
• Make JC files according Drawing from engineering, lead / participate DFM
