To bridge the gap between product design and scalable manufacturing. Play a pivotal part in transforming new product designs into efficient, high-quality production systems. Ensure manufacturability, improve production processes, and collaborate cross-functionally to bring innovative products to life at scale.
Required outputs: functional
Partner with R&D and design teams to ensure product designs are optimized for manufacturability, cost-effectiveness, and efficient assembly.
Lead the industrialization of new products, from prototyping through to production readiness and release.
Develop and implement manufacturing processes, technologies, and define production equipment requirements.
Verify and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) in SAP against Manufacturing Data Packages (MDPs).
Perform time studies, process validations to set world-class manufacturing standards.
Identify, recommend, and implement process improvements using lean manufacturing tools and methodologies.to ensure competitive product costing; improved efficiencies, including determining the EOQs (Economic Order Quantities)
Facilitate the development of assembly instructions, testing procedures, process flows, PFMEAs, and control plans in conjunction with relevant stakeholders.
Oversee the industrialization of test equipment and collaborate on test system design and validation.
Support root cause analysis and problem-solving activities (e.g., 8D, A3) to improve quality and reduce waste.
Qualifications & Experience
Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering (or a related field).
3-5 years of experience in a similar role, ideally in manufacturing transfer or new product introduction (NPI) environments.
Proven experience with process validation techniques, such as PPAP and PFMEA.
Hands-on experience with quality and lean tools (PFMEA, SPC, 8D, A3, Kaizen).
Experience working in cross-functional engineering and manufacturing teams.
Strong knowledge of manufacturing principles, materials, and process technologies
