Job description

Since 2009, Yibi Precision has been a leading OEM specialist in Metal Injection Molding (MIM), integrating innovation, precision, and reliability into every solution we deliver. With over 1000 employees and a 50,000 sqm facility, we are proud to serve global clients across industries such as medical, automotive, aerospace, and high-end consumer electronics.

• Expertise in MIM: High-performance parts (0.1g to 800g) with tolerances as tight as ±0.05mm.
• Full In-house Control: A 30-person mold workshop and end-to-end capabilities including CNC, stamping, laser engraving, and PVD plating.
• Global Standards: Certified with ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and Sedex 4P.

About the Role

We are seeking an entrepreneurial technical professional to pioneer MIM technology adoption and drive new business development across European industrial markets. This is not a traditional sales role; you are a Technology Evangelist. You will bridge the gap between Yibi's world-class engineering in China and the sophisticated manufacturing needs of European clients, positioning Yibi as the preferred strategic partner for complex metal components.

Responsibilities

• Market Pioneering & Strategy: Develop and execute a comprehensive "Go-to-Market" strategy to establish Yibi as the MIM technology leader in Europe. Identify "blue ocean" opportunities in sectors where traditional manufacturing (CNC/Casting) can be replaced by MIM for better ROI.
• Technical Consulting & Design Optimization: Lead collaborative "Design for Manufacturability" (DfM) sessions with client engineering teams. Conduct in-depth technical consultations to solve complex design challenges using Yibi's material science and MIM capabilities.
• Strategic Client Acquisition: Lead the entire acquisition process from initial technical pitch to project implementation. Build a robust pipeline of high-value opportunities through systematic market mapping and targeted outreach.
• Thought Leadership: Establish Yibi's authority in the European market by representing the company at industry conferences, delivering technical workshops, and developing case studies that demonstrate our innovative edge.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical field is mandatory.
• Experience: 5+ years of success in technical business development or application engineering within precision manufacturing (MIM, Die Casting, or CNC experience preferred).
• Market Knowledge: Proven track record of introducing new manufacturing technologies to skeptical markets and converting them into long-term partnerships.
• Language: Native or Full Professional Proficiency in BOTH German and English is mandatory.
• Mindset: An entrepreneurial "Hunter" spirit with the ability to work independently and manage complex, long-cycle technical sales.
