Role Scope and Accountabilities

Provide industrial-engineering support across STS, ST1 and ST2, with priorities agreed through Operations governance.
Act as an individual technical specialist and cross-functional project contributor; no direct reports are assumed.
Own or coordinate manufacturing-process definition, equipment/tooling requirements, industrialisation readiness and technical improvement activity within assigned projects.
Support a specialised heat-exchanger and thermal-management manufacturing environment that may include metal fabrication, brazing/welding, CNC, assembly, testing and related material flows.

Key Responsibilities

Assess product manufacturability and provide early manufacturing input to R&D and product-development teams.
Define, develop and improve manufacturing processes, process flows, layouts, workstations and material-handling concepts.
Specify requirements for production machinery, equipment, tooling, fixtures and jigs; coordinate technical evaluation, design review, procurement, installation and acceptance as assigned.
Lead or support industrialisation and new-product introduction, ensuring process, equipment, tooling, documentation, capacity, quality and operator readiness.
Develop and maintain process specifications, work instructions, standard work, control inputs and other manufacturing documentation.
Perform capacity, cycle-time, bottleneck, process-capability and loss analysis to identify constraints and improvement priorities.
Support PFMEA, risk assessment, control-plan development and robust corrective actions for manufacturing issues.
Partner with Production and Quality to resolve recurring process problems and improve yield, quality, ergonomics, safety and productivity.
Work with Maintenance to ensure equipment reliability, maintainability, spare-parts considerations and effective handover.
Support make/buy, investment and technical business-case evaluations with clear assumptions, benefits, risks and implementation requirements.
Coordinate trials, validation and ramp-up of new or modified processes and ensure lessons learned are captured and standardised.
Collaborate with the Lean Specialist to improve flow, layout, workplace organisation and overall equipment effectiveness across plants.

Decision-Making and Influence

Recommend manufacturing concepts, process standards, tooling and equipment solutions within assigned scope.
Define technical acceptance criteria and escalate readiness, capability, safety or quality risks before production release.
Influence product design, investment priorities and operational changes through data-based manufacturability and capacity analysis.
Coordinate cross-functional technical actions while formal budget and final investment approval remain with delegated business leaders.

Key Relationships

R&D, Product Engineering and Process Engineering.
Production Managers, Shift Leaders and shop-floor teams across all three plants.
Quality, Maintenance, Lean, EHS and Supply Chain / Procurement.
Equipment, tooling and engineering suppliers where assigned.

Qualifications and Experience

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial, Mechanical, Manufacturing Engineering or a related technical discipline; equivalent technical education with strong relevant experience may be considered.
Relevant industrial-engineering, manufacturing-engineering or process-engineering experience in an industrial production environment.
Practical experience with industrialisation, equipment/tooling specification, process development, layouts and manufacturing documentation.
Experience working cross-functionally with R&D and Operations from product concept through production ramp-up.
Experience in heat exchangers, HVAC/refrigeration, metal fabrication, brazing/welding, CNC or engineered mechanical assembly is advantageous.
Project coordination experience and working English are preferred.

Technical Competencies

Design for manufacturability and assembly; manufacturing-process development.
Equipment, machinery, tooling, fixture and jig specification.
Plant layout, material flow, capacity and bottleneck analysis.
Industrialisation / new-product introduction and production readiness.
PFMEA, process capability, control-plan inputs and structured problem solving.
Technical documentation, CAD/layout tools and data analysis relevant to the role.
Investment evaluation, supplier technical coordination and equipment acceptance.

Behavioural Competencies

Systems thinking combined with practical shop-floor execution.
Technical curiosity, rigor and fact-based decision making.
Ownership of deliverables and timely escalation of risk.
Ability to influence cross-functional teams without formal authority.
Clear communication with both technical specialists and operational teams.
Customer- and quality-focused continuous-improvement mindset.
