  • Collaborate closely with R&D, Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, and external suppliers
  • Monitor and report on project progress, milestones, and results
  • Stay current with trends and developments in manufacturing technologies and production methods, sharing insights with stakeholders

What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field
  • Fluent in English (written and spoken)
  • Several years of relevant experience in manufacturing engineering, industrialization, or process engineering
  • Strong knowledge of manufacturing and assembly processes, preferably in a high-mix or engineered-to-order environment
  • Proven experience applying Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies (Green Belt required)
  • Ability to influence product and process design decisions through technical expertise
  • Strong project management skills and experience working in cross-functional teams
  • Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
  • Clear and convincing communication skills in a multidisciplinary environment

What’s Nice To Have

  • Experience in capital investment projects and production line design
