Role
We are looking for an experienced and hands-on Methods & Industrialization Engineer to define and industrialize the assembly and manufacturing processes of our next-generation robotic platforms. Working across Product Development, Manufacturing, Production, Quality, and Supply Chain, you will define how the product will be built in series, translating product designs into efficient, scalable, and repeatable manufacturing processes. You will support the product lifecycle from early development through production ramp-up, driving production methods, capacity planning, line balancing, and manufacturing readiness.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with Product Development teams on assembly process design and industrialization from early development through production ramp-up.
- Define assembly sequences, manufacturing routings, and production methods for manual, semi-automated and automated operations.
- Drive DFA activities to improve manufacturability, efficiency, and scalability.
- Develop Standard Work, work instructions, and process documentation.
- Perform time and methods analysis, defining cycle times, takt times, and line balancing strategies.
- Support capacity planning, resource allocation, and production line sizing.
- Optimize workflows, layouts, productivity, and process efficiency using Lean Manufacturing principles.
- Support prototype, pre-series, validation, and Start of Production (SOP) activities, ensuring manufacturing readiness and process stability.
Requirements
- Master's degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Mechatronics, Manufacturing, or Automation Engineering, or equivalent technical background.
- 3–5 years of experience in Methods Engineering, Industrial Engineering,
Manufacturing Engineering, or similar roles.
- Experience with New Product Introduction (NPI) programs in automotive, e-mobility, robotics, aerospace, or other high-tech manufacturing environments.
- Experience designing and industrializing assembly and manufacturing processes for new products.
- Knowledge of MBOM, production routings, assembly processes, Standard Work, and process validation.
- Experience with time and methods analysis, line balancing, capacity planning, takt time calculation, and Lean Manufacturing methodologies.
- Familiarity with PFMEA, Control Plans, Process Flow, and Value Stream Mapping.
- Experience with ERP, PLM, CAD, and advanced Excel tools.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Excellent communication skills with engineering and production teams.
- Availability to travel nationally and internationally is expected.
Valued Extras
- Experience in automotive, robotics, aerospace, or other high-tech manufacturing environments.
- Exposure to complex mechatronic products, automated production systems, or e-mobility applications.
- Familiarity with Lean Manufacturing and industrial engineering tools and methodologies.
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. xrdztoy
