Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your industrialization and manufacturing expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside dynamic, collaborative, and innovative teammates.

You’ll play a key role in ensuring that our manufacturing processes are optimized, our products are market-ready, and our industrial requirements align with project Quality, Cost, and Delivery (QCD) objectives. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Procurement, EHS and Quality), lead industrialization activities, and ensure smooth collaboration with internal and external stakeholders.

You’ll specifically take care of guiding the industrialization team throughout the product development phase, but also ensure the successful implementation of processes that enhance manufacturability and efficiency.

Industrialize products and projects from prototype, serial to maintenance phases. Ensure data, tools and components are always available for production and repairs all along the life cycle.

We’ll look to you for:

• Managing industrial documentation, tools, and workstations to meet quality and EHS standards.
• Supporting product and process validation activities such as First Article Review/First Article Inspection/First Mounting Review
• Defining the Product industrial breakdown structure and manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM)
• Developing concurrent engineering and design to cost approach between development and industrialization
• Provide and sustain Industrial maturity report per product line (definition files MR, test First Passed Yield per phase, failure rate at first installation, production cost, industrial scheme, lead time)
• Driving continuous improvement plans in collaboration with production and suppliers
• Contributing to industrial costing during tender phases and conducting REX assessments
• Gathering industrial requirements and ensuring product design compliance
• Designing macro-processes and introducing new technologies with validation plans
• Developing specifications for industrial means and defining workstation layouts
• Deploying Signaling industrialization processes (for products and projects) and DFM rules
• Managing industrial QCD of generic products managed on project level during all life cycle
• Develoing industrial means for product & project manufacturing and test with EHS mind-set
• Deploying Signaling industrial requirements internally and with subcontractors
• Contribute to project industrial activity productivity plan
• Ensure APSYS deployment and maturity development
