Components Industrialization Engineer

Contract: Full-time, Permanent

Role

We are looking for an experienced and hands-on Components Industrialization Engineer to drive the industrialization of components and subsystems for our next-generation robotic platforms. Working across Product Development, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and suppliers, you will ensure components are designed and industrialized for scalable, reliable, and cost-effective production. You will support the product lifecycle from concept development to production ramp-up, enabling the transition from prototypes to serial manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Product Development teams on the industrialization of components and subsystems from early design stages through production ramp-up.
• Drive DFM, DFA, and DFC activities to ensure manufacturability, quality, cost-effectiveness, and scalability.
• Define industrial requirements, manufacturing processes, qualification criteria, and industrialization strategies.
• Evaluate materials, manufacturing technologies, and production methods to support product development decisions.
• Collaborate with suppliers on component development, industrialization, qualification, and readiness activities.
• Support NPI processes, including APQP, PPAP, PFMEA, DFMEA, Control Plans, and related quality methodologies.
• Assess manufacturing risks, supplier capabilities, and industrial maturity, driving mitigation and continuous improvement actions.
• Coordinate prototype, pre-series, and ramp-up activities, supporting a successful Start of Production (SOP).

Requirements

• Master’s degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Materials, or Automation Engineering, or equivalent technical background.
• 5–10 years of experience in Product Industrialization, Manufacturing Engineering, Components Engineering, or similar roles.
• Experience with New Product Introduction (NPI) programs in automotive, e-mobility, robotics, aerospace, or other high-tech manufacturing environments.
• Strong knowledge of industrialization processes for mechanical, electromechanical, and electronic components.
• Hands‑on experience with manufacturing technologies such as injection molding, die casting, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, mechatronic assemblies, and wiring systems.
• Knowledge of APQP, PPAP, PFMEA, DFMEA, Control Plans, MSA, and SPC methodologies.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings, GD&T specifications, and work with CAD and PLM systems.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and cross‑functional collaboration skills.
• Excellent communication skills with internal stakeholders and international suppliers.
• Availability to travel nationally and internationally.
• Experience within Automotive OEM, Tier 1, robotics, or other high-tech manufacturing environments.
• Exposure to electric vehicles, batteries, power electronics, high‑voltage systems, or advanced mechatronic products.
• Experience with high‑precision components and automated production systems.

We Offer

• The opportunity to contribute to the development of cutting‑edge humanoid robotic systems.
• A stimulating and informal work environment alongside highly skilled technical and research teams.
• Employment contract under the Italian Metalworking Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL Metalmeccanico), commensurate with experience.
• Concrete opportunities for professional growth.
