• Collaborate early with Design Engineering to embed Design for Manufacturability and develop GD&T strategies.
• Lead dimensional quality targets, creating quality control plans and improvement initiatives.
• Design and qualify tooling, working closely with partner vendors to deliver final equipment.
• Develop project planning artifacts such as timelines, RFQs, FMEAs and safety risk assessments.
• Introduce processes and equipment for prototype builds and identify improvement opportunities.
• Participate in line design reviews, robot and tooling simulations, cycle‑time analysis and layout optimization.
• Oversee installation, commissioning and ramp‑up of high‑volume production lines within budget and schedule.
• Coordinate cross‑functional teams to enhance safety, quality and efficiency during production ramp.
• Define project scope, manage spend, and ensure vendor deliverables meet requirements.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Independent, detail‑oriented and hands‑on with strong decision‑making ability.
• Effective under pressure, managing competing demands and tight deadlines.
• Proactive, adaptable and accountable for assignment success.
• Data‑driven mindset capable of driving change based on metrics.

Required skills

• GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing)
• FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)
• Safety risk assessment
• Tooling design and development
• Robotics and tooling simulation
• Cycle‑time planning
• Dimensional measurement and quality control
• Project budgeting and vendor coordination
