• Translating customer drawings and technical standards into internal production drawings and manufacturing guidelines;
• Supporting RFQ activities by assessing technical feasibility and manufacturability;
• Developing and optimizing production processes and manufacturing methods;
• Developing and optimizing machining, automation and/or product handling processes;
• Ensuring quality through the use of tools such as FMEA, Control Plans and MSA;
• Developing stable production processes and successfully transferring them to manufacturing;
• Collaborating closely with Engineering, Quality, Production and Purchasing throughout the development process.

Qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a comparable technical field;
• Approximately 3 to 5 years of relevant work experience within a technical manufacturing environment;
• Experience with machining, CNC operations, and/or automation and product handling;
• Experience in working with measuring systems/equipment is considered a plus;
• A hands-on mentality combined with a proactive and pragmatic working style;
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams;
