As an Industrialization Engineer, your primary mission is to plan and define accurate Manufacturing Bills of Materials (MBOMs), and corresponding production rules that enable efficient, scalable, and cost‑effective volume production. You will play a key role in structuring the product for production, thereby directly structuring product costs and laying the foundations for serial production based on the manufacturing strategy. Your vital work will be put to the test and verified through trial builds and first time builds of the product.

Key Objectives

• Act as a key interface between PLM and ERP systems, ensuring data consistency and correctness in accordance with make-or-by strategy (MBOM)

• Support industrialization activities across product development phases

• Accountable for Zero Series (first time build in production), ensuring readiness for serial production

• Collaborate closely with Production, Engineering, Product Development Engineers, Supply Chain, Quality and Controlling and ensure seamless handover to production

Success Criteria

Success in this role will be measured by:

• MBOM completeness and accuracy

• Products achieved with planned volume production capability, on estimated time and within cost targets

Qualifications

• Degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field – relevant experience can compensate.
