Mission

Your main mission as Manufacturing Engineer is to ensure the industrialization of products and implement the corresponding processes.

Responsibilities

• Participate in the development of new products and be responsible for industrial choices: optimize part design, define production means, select manufacturing processes.
• Validate engineering plans for optimal industrialization.
• Implement manufacturing processes (SAP routings, technical documentation, control sheets, define tooling requirements, etc.).
• Study and improve workstations (ergonomics, layout, and safety conditions).
• Optimize and validate production for series production.
• Dimension production means and cycle times, validate operational times, and, if needed, manage transfers to subcontractors ensuring success.
• Participate in the execution of PFMEA (Process Failure Modes & Effects Analysis).
• Propose improvements for equipment testing and validation procedures.
• Analyze changes in customer demands and their impact on manufacturing process definitions.
• Analyze deviations and propose corrective actions while ensuring compliance with costs, quality, and deadlines within your scope of responsibility.
• Proactively initiate activities to reduce costs and variation through statistical process control (SPC).
• Participate in investment projects (technical innovations) to optimize manufacturing and testing processes.
• Support the creation of strategic roadmaps by proposing and justifying capital investments (machines, tooling, calibration, factory).
• Prepare quotations for new project tenders.

You are responsible for

• Ensuring compliance with the EN9100 quality standard and the ISO 14001 environmental standard.
• Performing rigorous self-checks to guarantee the quality and conformity of the work.
• Transferring your skills and knowledge to new team members to foster a culture of continuous learning and mutual support.
