Systems / NPI Engineer – Product Transfer & Industrialization | Infrared Cameras & Electronics

CareerBee; Vlaams-Brabant; In loco; EUR 60.000 - 90.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

CareerBee seeks a Systems/NPI Engineer to lead the transfer of advanced infrared camera systems from R&D into manufacturing. You will own product readiness, coordinate with electronics, optics and mechanics teams, and ensure production documentation is complete for successful first builds.

You will work across R&D, Testing, Quality and Manufacturing to validate readiness and close remaining gaps, enabling smooth transition to pilot and serial production.

Competenze

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics or related field.
• At least four years in systems engineering, product engineering, NPI, or production transfer.
• Experience moving a product from development/prototype to pilot/serial production.
• Experience with hardware and software/firmware in complex systems.
• Strong system-level understanding and ability to investigate failures.
• Fluent English and strong communication skills.

Mansioni

• Own the technical transfer of new products from R&D to manufacturing.
• Define and monitor release criteria with R&D, Testing, Quality and Manufacturing.
• Ensure complete, consistent documentation for production use.
• Review BOMs, drawings, test specs, and release documentation.
• Support pilot and first-production builds.
• Develop understanding of the full camera system (electronics, firmware, optics, mechanics).
• Investigate system-level failures and manufacturing issues through testing, measurements, and root-cause analysis.
• Act as the bridge between R&D in Leuven and Manufacturing in Tienen.

Descrizione del lavoro

For one of our clients, one of Europe’s fastest-growing high-tech manufacturing groups, we are looking for a Systems / NPI Engineer – Product Transfer & Industrialization to support the transition of advanced infrared camera systems from R&D into manufacturing.

In this role, you will take technical ownership of products as they move from validated prototypes toward stable and repeatable production. You will work closely with R&D, Testing, Quality and Manufacturing to determine whether a product is truly ready for release, identify remaining technical gaps and support the first production builds.

This is not a purely coordinating or project-management position. We are looking for an engineer who can understand a multidisciplinary product at system level, investigate technical failures and work with specialists across electronics, software, optics and mechanics to bring the product successfully into production.

Your Responsibilities

• Own the technical transfer of new products and product changes from R&D into manufacturing
• Define and monitor product-release and manufacturing-readiness criteria together with R&D, Testing, Quality and Manufacturing
• Ensure that all required technical documentation is complete, consistent and suitable for production
• Review product requirements, bills of materials, drawings, test specifications, acceptance criteria, assembly instructions and release documentation
• Coordinate and actively support pilot and first-production builds
• Develop a broad understanding of the complete camera system, including electronics, firmware/software, optics, mechanics, interfaces and thermal behaviour
• Investigate system-level failures and manufacturing issues through structured testing, measurements and root-cause analysis
• Act as the technical bridge between R&D in Leuven and Manufacturing in Tienen

Your Profile

• Master’s degree or equivalent qualification in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Mechatronics, Applied Physics, Embedded Systems or a comparable technical field
• At least four years of professional experience in systems engineering, product engineering, system integration, verification and validation, NPI, industrialization or product transfer
• Demonstrated practical experience supporting a product from development or prototype stage into pilot or serial production (Transfer to Production)
• Experience working with technically complex products combining hardware with software or firmware
• Strong system-level understanding combined with sufficient technical depth to investigate failures and challenge technical decisions
• Fluent English and strong communication skills

Particularly Relevant Experience

Experience in one or more of the following areas would be highly valuable:

• (Infrared) Cameras, imaging systems, photonics or optical equipment
• Sensors, detectors or measurement systems
• Medical devices, aerospace, semiconductor equipment, robotics, scientific instruments or other complex high-tech products
• Electronics and PCB-based systems

Why Join?

• Work on advanced infrared camera systems at the intersection of electronics, optics, mechanics, embedded software and image processing
• Join a leading European high-tech company and one of Europe's fastest growing manufacturing companies that is operating at the forefront of infrared imaging technology
• Take real technical ownership of products as they move from R&D prototypes into manufacturing and customer applications
