About the role

The hybrid rhythm also gives you flexibility around international collaboration and meetings across time zones.

What success looks like

Your first year is about making new technologies work reliably at scale, developing the team's capabilities and improving cost and lead-time performance. Looking further ahead, you'll help industrialise multi-component moulding, embed robust design principles and take process management and execution to the next level. You'll do this alongside your team, global peers, novelty element design specialists and moulding production leaders.
