Industrialization Engineer (m/f/d)

About the role:

As a Manufacturing / Industrialization Engineer, you will play a key role in bridging the gap between product development and serial production. Your mission is to ensure that new products, processes, and changes are successfully transferred into manufacturing while continuously improving efficiency, quality, and scalability. Working closely with engineering, production, suppliers, and cross-functional stakeholders, you will turn innovative designs into robust production processes and help drive operational excellence throughout the manufacturing organization.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Lead the introduction of new products and processes into production, including creating work instructions, training operators, and supporting ramp-up activities.

• Drive standardization initiatives to improve manufacturing efficiency, product quality, and process stability.

• Identify, lead, and implement continuous improvement and optimization projects across the production environment.

• Develop and maintain work instructions, production documentation, and test procedures while coordinating closely with relevant stakeholders.

• Plan, coordinate, and evaluate prototype and pre-production builds to ensure a smooth transition into serial manufacturing.

• Investigate production issues through structured root-cause analysis and implement sustainable corrective actions.

• Manage engineering and production changes, ensuring effective communication and alignment across departments and locations.

• Conduct time studies and process analyses to identify further optimization potential and increase productivity.

• Assess the broader impact of process and product changes, including effects on suppliers, operations, and manufacturing workflows.

• Act as the key interface between development teams and production, ensuring manufacturability and smooth implementation of new solutions.

• Support the development, specification, and planning of production test equipment and test benches.
