An international industrial player supplies technical components and solutions to leading OEM customers. Within a compact, entrepreneurial environment, they work on further growth and product development. The Belgian branch plays an important role as an operational and technical site for the European market. The culture can be described as hands-on, flexible, and results-oriented: short lines of communication, a lot of ownership, and the opportunity to make a visible impact.
For a strategic industrialization project, they are looking for an experienced NPI Industrialisation Engineer who can technically validate, scale up, and prepare a new product line for production.
What you will do.
- Technically lead the industrialization process from a validated mix design to pilot production and ultimately series production.
- Set up structured trials to timely identify process risks, technical limitations, and scalability challenges.
- Translate product and customer requirements into concrete process flows, layouts, work instructions, and quality controls.
- Select, specify, and commission equipment in collaboration with internal stakeholders, suppliers, and technical partners.
- Define critical process parameters, tolerances, controls, and validation methods.
- Develop SOPs, training material, and operator instructions to ensure sustainable knowledge transfer to production.
- Prepare and follow up on quality documentation such as PFMEA, control plans, process validation, and, where necessary, support PPAP or customer approvals.
- Technical alignment with engineering colleagues to correctly translate knowledge, test results, and design choices into production.
- Build internal production expertise around this new process so that the organization can eventually produce independently and scalably.
Profile
