Project Manager NPI | NTS Eindhoven - Mechatronics Assembly

At NTS, we make it possible together. Technology inspires and drives us; it is our passion. Every day we work on unique solutions for complex challenges. Whether it's ultra-complex or ultra-precise solutions, we are proud of what we do and what we deliver.
Do you want to discover together what is possible? Are you the project leader who brings complex mechatronic assemblies for the semiconductor industry from development to stable series production, where every micrometer and every particle matters? Do you have the drive to lead a multidisciplinary team and maintain customer relationships at the highest technical level, from prototype to release for volume? Then start as Project Manager NPI at NTS Eindhoven and let's make it possible together!

As a Project Manager NPI within the Advanced Systems business unit of NTS Eindhoven, you will work on high-quality mechatronic assemblies for a leading OEM in the semiconductor industry. You focus on the industrialization of a complex mechatronic assembly that plays a crucial role in the accuracy of the final system.

What makes this role special is that the assembly is still in full development during the setup of the production process. The assembly takes place under ultra-cleanroom conditions, with extreme requirements for accuracy and contamination control. You ensure optimal alignment between functional product requirements and manufacturability, and act as the connecting factor between the customer's development department, engineering, and assembly.

You are responsible for the QLTC objectives of the project: Quality, Logistics, Technology, and Costs. You set targets with all stakeholders, monitor progress against milestones, and adjust where necessary. Additionally, you are the commercial contact point towards the customer and work closely with account management.

You lead a multidisciplinary project team with Supplier Quality Engineering, Procurement, Logistics, Engineering, and Assembly. You maintain an overview, set clear priorities, and create the conditions for your team to perform optimally.

• Defining scope and QLTC targets for the project in consultation with the customer and all internal stakeholders;

• Translating these targets into a supported project plan, from prototype phase to release for volume;

• Ensuring manufacturability and assemblability in product and process design, in close collaboration with the customer's development department;

• Managing the industrialization of complex assembly processes under cleanroom conditions, including qualification and first article inspection;

• Planning and controlling the project on milestones, QLTC frameworks, and engineering changes;

• Reaching commercial agreements in collaboration with account management;

• Periodically reporting on progress, both internally and towards the customer.

We are looking for a result-oriented and communicatively strong Project Manager with the following background:

• Completed HBO or WO degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or Technical Business Administration;

• Extensive experience as a Project Manager in multidisciplinary and complex technical projects, preferably in an NPI or industrialization environment;

• Demonstrable experience in the semiconductor industry, preferably with high-end mechatronic assemblies;

• Affinity with assembly under cleanroom conditions and knowledge of contamination control;

• Broad knowledge of prototype construction and setting up and improving production processes;

• Knowledge of project management methodologies such as PRINCE2, PMI, or IPMA and experience with Lean and Six Sigma;

• Excellent command of the Dutch and English language, both written and spoken.

At NTS, we combine our passion for technology with innovative solutions for complex challenges. You will have the freedom and trust to fully utilize and develop your talents in a dynamic and energetic environment. We invest in both technology and in you as a future colleague!

With this challenge, we offer the following benefits:

• Salary from €6,000 to €7,500 gross per month, depending on experience and qualifications;

• Over 40 days off: 27 vacation days and 13 ADV days with a full-time position;

• Personal development and growth opportunities, for example through training and courses;

• Remote work policy: 1 day of telecommuting per week with a net allowance of €2.40 per day;

• Annual discretionary budget of €150 gross, usable for vitality, bike plan, or gym through the Alleo app;

• Travel allowance of €0.21 per kilometer (max. 50 km one way) or full reimbursement of public transport costs;

• Excellent pension scheme via PME;

• Laptop and mobile phone;

• Free fresh fruit at work.

We deliver unique solutions for complex challenges and drive the technological progress of our customers. By combining development, production, and assembly, we play an integral role in bringing together the supply chain. We combine the best skills and smartest ideas into a working system for the most advanced Semiconductor, Opto-Mechatronic, and Analytical solutions in the world. That is why we have grown into a Tier-1 supplier for OEMs and an international player operating from various locations in Europe, Asia, and the US.
While we offer our teams a great workplace all over the world, we do not forget to remain firmly rooted locally. Ultimately, the core of NTS is formed by our people. Their excellent manufacturing skills, customer-oriented mentality, and clear technical solutions have made NTS what it is today. Together, we create a culture that everyone can be proud of because we make it possible together. That is why we seize every opportunity to celebrate our people, our craftsmanship, and our successes.
