Job summary

Delft Circuits is seeking an Industrialization Engineer to move manufacturing from technically working to reliable at scale. You’ll industrialize processes near the factory and contribute to scale-up projects, including equipment concepts, outsourced tooling, and CapEx proposals.

You will work closely with Manufacturing and Process Development to improve yield, throughput, and stability, turning lessons learned into robust production standards.

Qualifications

• A technical HBO or MSc background, for example in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, industrial engineering, applied physics, manufacturing engineering or a similar field.
• 2–8 years of experience with manufacturing, tooling, equipment, process improvement, industrialization or scale-up.
• English is required. Dutch is a plus, especially for day-to-day collaboration with manufacturing colleagues and local suppliers.
• Lean manufacturing or operational excellence, including Lean Six Sigma, 5S, standard work, value stream mapping or bottleneck analysis.
• Process improvement and error reduction, including poka-yoke, tooling, fixtures, jigs, operator aids or structured problem solving.
• Quality and process control, including root cause analysis, FMEA, control plans, SPC, Cp/Cpk or measurement system thinking.
• Experience with scale-up, equipment specification, supplier management, CapEx preparation or high-tech manufacturing environments.

Responsibilities

• Industrialize existing manufacturing processes by improving tooling, fixtures, SOPs, workflows and process controls.
• Improve yield, throughput and process stability by structurally reducing bottlenecks, variation, rework and operator dependency.
• Work closely with Manufacturing and Process Development to solve process issues and turn lessons learned into robust production standards.
• Translate capacity needs into practical solutions for equipment, tooling, automation, layout and ways of working.
• Contribute to scale-up and CapEx projects by defining technical requirements, expected impact and implementation plans.
• Desig​ning or improving holders, cassettes, fixtures and production tools.
• Reducing manual process steps and operator dependency.
• Improving SOPs, standard work and training packages.
