Job Purpose: Responsible for designing and developing manufacturing processes for connectors realization by studying product requirements and defining manufacturing processes and cost, designing and realizing machines, toolings and test equipments, assessing best process flow, taking measurements, analyzing data and testing manufacturing methods in compliance with lean concepts.

The Manufacturing Engineer is a key role to drive and support transition from high manual labour application to automated machines/lines as well as to design and develop automated solutions for high precision manual processes enhancing technical analysis and simulation level to support Industry 4. 0 implementation.

Responsible for cost analysis of products, CWS redaction/update and related P-FMEA studies Needs full awareness of safety requirements at design and implementation level to contribute to Safety requirements implementation Responsibilities: Operational feasibility and study including manufacturing costs Preliminary manufacturing concepts and operational reviews (FMEA).

Finalization of operational concept Manufacturing processes implementation by studying product requirements, researching, designing, modifying and testing manufacturing methods and equipment; Design manual tooling/fixtures and automated machines specific complex groups, interacting with technical part suppliers, asking for parts to external workshops providing related documents (i. e.

drawings, specifications).

NPI prototype assembly with detailed cost assessment and validation from Operation side.

Effective and efficient work sequence process design General support to lab / test activities as required, e. g.

preparation & commissioning of test rigs, preparation of test components (design of test adaptors / fixtures, & other relevant CAD design work) Provide manufacturing hand over deliverables (assembly instructions, routings, toolings, machines etc) and deliver technical training to Process Engineers.

Perform Engineering change notice validation and signature.

Along with other team members, contribute to maintaining a safe and efficient working environment, including following appropriate HSE procedures / performance of risk assessments as appropriate, safety assessments Be a promoter of culture of lean and continuous improvement in work processes Be one of drivers of change in process implementation Technical Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: Experience in mechanical design for product realization companies (automation / special machine design experience preferable) Proficiency with CAD (Solidworks preferred, Pro/Engineer experience is a plus) Very strong design, imagination and simulation skills, ability to imagine, think and design manufacturing tools according to product target costs/volume.

FEM analysis experience (Ansys).

Proficiency in toleration analysis and mechanical studies Model-based design will be a plus (Matlab) Experience in product design in the electronic field (connectors market preferable) can be a plus Proficiency in presenting technical presentation and operational reviews (FMEA) Proficiency with Windows operating systems and Microsoft Office programs Strong organizational and analytical skills Strong Communication and interpersonal skills Curious, practical, open-minded, this role will have to implement Industry 4. 0 and lean approaches into the manufacturing processes.
