  • Spearhead the planning and execution of key design activities, including the development of drawings, DFMEAs, and DVP&R documentation, in alignment with project requirements.
  • Drive design for manufacturability (DFM) and process capability improvements to ensure robust, cost-effective, and scalable production processes.
  • Monitor pilot builds, process validation, and ramp-up activities; report on production performance and implement corrective actions as needed.
  • Coordinate with the manufacturing engineering team to ensure that work instructions and quality standards are in place before launch.
  • Serve as the point of contact for stakeholders and management, providing regular updates on project status, risks, and performance metrics.
  • Continuously identify and implement process improvements to optimize future launches and reduce time to market.
Skills and Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field; Master’s degree preferred.
  • Minimum 7–10 years of experience in project management, design, and/or manufacturing engineering, with a strong focus on new product launches in a plant environment.
  • Proven success managing complex projects involving cross-functional teams, tight deadlines, and multiple stakeholders.
  • In-depth knowledge of manufacturing processes, equipment commissioning, process validation, and production ramp-up.
  • Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement methodologies.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills; ability to make data-driven decisions under pressure.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; demonstrated ability to lead teams and influence across all levels of the organization.
  • Self-motivated, proactive, and adaptable to changing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
