Job Requirements

Process Development and Industrialization

• Translate product, customer, and quality requirements into manufacturing process concepts and equipment requirements.
• Lead early design-for-assembly and design-for-manufacturing activities to improve manufacturability, scalability, process robustness, and total manufacturing cost.
• Develop process flows and support alignment among PFMEA, Control Plan, machine specifications, and qualification requirements.
• Estimate capital requirements and manufacturing cost drivers - including cycle time, labor, scrap, material utilization, floor space, and equipment utilization. Create scenarios that scale manufacturing process with demand, and optimize CAPEX spend.
• Support engineering, design-validation, process-validation, and production sample builds.
• Plan and execute equipment qualification and process-validation activities.

Automation and Equipment Development

• Develop lean, flexible, modular, and scalable manufacturing solutions for cable assemblies, harnesses, and associated test processes for cables and harnesses including Data Connectivity, E-Mobility and Low Voltage Harnesses.
• Prepare equipment specifications, technical requirements, requests for quotation, and qualification plans.
• Conduct technical quote reviews and provide supplier recommendations in collaboration with Procurement and project stakeholders.
• Lead equipment concept and design reviews with internal automation teams, integrators, application-tooling teams, and external suppliers.
• Apply run-at-rate studies, capability analysis, measurement system analysis, correlation studies, and design of experiments to verify process and equipment performance.
• Use 3D CAD to develop or review fixtures, jigs, gauges, tooling, and production-intent process concepts.

Launch and Plant Support

• Coordinate equipment installation, setup, acceptance, qualification, and transfer to the receiving manufacturing location.
• Train plant engineering, maintenance, technician, and production personnel on newly introduced equipment and processes.
• Support equipment debug, process optimization, failure analysis, and production ramp-up.
• Lead structured issue resolution using data-driven problem-solving methods.
• Conduct mass-production trials, capacity analysis, value-stream reviews, and run-at-rate studies to confirm production readiness.
• Establish clear action plans, owners, due dates, and escalation paths for open technical issues.

Project and Supplier Management

• Manage multiple process-development and capital-equipment projects while balancing quality, cost, timing, and technical risk.
• Manage local and global equipment suppliers from concept through installation and production release.
• Track project milestones, technical risks, capital spending, supplier deliverables, and recovery plans.
• Communicate project status and technical risks clearly to cross-functional teams and leadership.
• Mentor team members and share manufacturing process development best practices.

What your background should look like

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, Industrial, Mechatronics, Manufacturing, Electrical, or a related engineering discipline.
• Five or more years of experience in process development or manufacturing of Cable and harness assembly.
• Knowledge of various cable processing technologies including feeding, cutting, stripping, joining technologies (crimping, welding, soldering etc.), harness assembly, testing.
