Job description

Build the bridge from innovation to industrial scale

At Smart High Tech, we are transforming advanced materials into industrial reality. Our graphene-based technology enables the next generation of AI systems, electronics, and data centres - where performance is fundamentally limited by thermal management.

We are now entering a decisive phase: from R&D to scalable, high-volume production.

We are looking for a Production Engineer who will take ownership of how our products are industrialised - ensuring they can be produced reliably, efficiently, and at scale.

Your mission

You are the technical bridge between R&D and production.

Your mission is to:

• Translate product designs into robust, scalable manufacturing processes

• Establish the technical foundation for production

• Continuously improve performance, yield, and efficiency

This role directly impacts our ability to scale, qualify with customers, and succeed commercially.

What you will do

Industrialisation & NPI

• Act as the primary technical interface between R&D and production

• Contribute to design reviews with a strong DFM (Design for Manufacturability) perspective

• Lead the introduction of new products into production (NPI)

• Coordinate validation, qualification, and first article inspections

Process & Production Development

• Design and implement production lines, assembly processes, tooling, and test setups

• Define process parameters, work instructions, and SOPs

• Ensure processes are fully embedded before handover to operations

Data, MES & Traceability

• Define requirements for data capture, traceability, and process modelling

• Translate production needs into structured MES specifications

• Validate that systems reflect real processes and support improvement

Performance & Continuous Improvement

• Analyse process data to identify losses and improvement opportunities

• Drive reductions in cycle time, scrap, and variability

• Apply structured problem solving (8D, A3) and lean principles

• Work closely with Production to implement sustainable improvements

Equipment & Technical Ownership

• Specify, evaluate, and select new production equipment

• Lead FAT and SAT to ensure performance and functionality

• Manage engineering changes and production impact

• Collaborate with Maintenance to ensure equipment readiness and reliability

Key interfaces

You will work cross-functionally with:

• Production & Operations

• R&D

• Quality & Planning

• Maintenance & Facility

• External suppliers and partners

Who you are

You combine engineering depth with execution capability.

• Degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Manufacturing, or Production Engineering

• Proven experience in production or manufacturing engineering

• Track record of taking products from development into series production

• Strong experience in:

  • Process validation & documentation

  • FAT/SAT

  • Engineering change management

  • Lean manufacturing & structured problem solving

• Hands-on, analytical, and structured

• A natural connector between engineering and operations

What we offer

This is a role for someone who wants to build, not maintain.

You will:

• Play a central role in taking a deep-tech innovation to industrial scale

• Shape how production is designed, structured, and optimised

• Work in a high-impact environment where your decisions matter

• Collaborate with leading experts across R&D, production, and international teams

• Be part of a company solving real, global challenges in AI and electronics

What success looks like

Within 6–12 months, you have:

• Successfully industrialised new products into stable production

• Established robust and scalable production processes

• Improved yield, throughput, and process capability

• Built a strong technical foundation for continued scale
