Are you passionate about bringing innovative products to life and shaping the way they are manufactured on a global scale? We are looking for an Industrialization Engineer who will play a key role in transforming cutting-edge R&D; designs into robust, scalable, and cost-efficient industrial solutions.

In this role, you will act as a vital connector between R&D;, Operations, Quality, and Supply Chain, ensuring fast, high-quality product availability - especially for Early Adopter Programs - and a seamless transition to Start of Production.

Your Responsibilities

- Lead end-to-end industrialization activities across all project phases (MS1–MS5), ensuring readiness for Start of Production
- Define and manage the industrialization master plan, including process concepts, capacity, validation strategy, and risk mitigation
- Collaborate closely with International R&D; to embed manufacturability, testability, and scalability into product design
- Drive modular manufacturing strategies and promote reuse of standardized processes, equipment, and tooling
- Lead DFx (DfM, DfT, DfA, DfS) activities and translate design requirements into robust manufacturing processes
- Define manufacturing concepts (layout, automation, flow) and manage CapEx projects including supplier selection and commissioning




- Monitor and improve industrial performance KPIs (FPY, OEE, cycle time), driving continuous cost reduction and efficiency gains

Your Background

- Master’s degree in Engineering (Industrial, Mechanical, Electrical, Manufacturing, or similar)
- At least 2 years of experience in industrialization, NPI, or production engineering
- Proven experience working in cross-functional and international environments
- Strong knowledge of DFx methodologies and special processes (e.g., coating, potting, automation)
- Solid understanding of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and structured problem-solving methods (8D, DMAIC)
- Experience managing projects through gated milestones up to SOP and ramp-up
- Excellent communication skills with fluent professional English and Italian

Additional Information Experience with MES/ERP systems, digital manufacturing, or data collection architectures is a plus, as well as familiarity with CAD tools and automation technologies (robotics, vision systems, in-line testing). In this role, success means delivering faster and more predictable industrialization through standardized and modular solutions, ensuring high-quality and timely EAP builds, and achieving a smooth and controlled start of production with strong operational performance.
