Job summary

Dispelix in Espoo is seeking a Manufacturing Lead to drive industrialization and manufacturing readiness from prototype to production. You will own the manufacturing workstream and coordinate with R&D, QA, supply chain, and suppliers to deliver repeatable production solutions.

You bring hands-on manufacturing engineering experience in high-tech environments, with strong knowledge of DFx, process validation, and Lean methods.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience in manufacturing engineering / industrialization / NPI in a high-tech environment.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, tolerances, quality requirements and lead time drivers.
• Ability to drive DFM/DFA with R&D and make pragmatic trade-offs between performance, cost, yield and schedule.
• Experience with process validation and risk management (PFMEA, control plans, capability and acceptance criteria).
• Proven ability to improve manufacturing flow through data, structured problem solving and practical continuous improvement actions.
• Comfortable working across disciplines and organizational boundaries, including external suppliers/contract manufacturers.
• Typically, 5–10+ years of relevant industry experience.

Responsibilities

• Drive industrialization and manufacturing readiness in NRE and customer projects (prototype → pilot → production)
• Develop repeatable Product Engineering ways of working that improve lead time, predictability, manufacturability and execution quality across internal and customer-driven deliverables
• Define manufacturing concepts, process flows, assembly methods, and test strategy together with R&D, and help turn early prototypes into repeatable manufacturing solutions
• Lead DFM/DFA activities and ensure design intent is converted into repeatable, manufacturable solutions
• Partner with R&D to translate product and process requirements into robust process windows and clear acceptance criteria (e.g., high‑precision assembly, coatings/thin films, metrology, cleanroom practices where relevant)
• Own manufacturing documentation: work instructions, process specs, control plans, and acceptance criteria
• Plan and execute production ramp‑up: capacity, yield, cycle time, and quality targets; drive root‑cause analysis and corrective actions
• Use Lean thinking to identify constraints, reduce waiting time and rework, and improve the flow from engineering decisions to manufacturing execution
• Work closely with suppliers/contract manufacturers in RFQ, NPI builds, and ongoing production support
• Track manufacturing KPIs and use data to improve stability, yield and product quality
