Junior Manufacturing Engineering Specialist
Pubblicato il 20-09-2026 - Multi-Wing in Milano
Contract: CCNL Metalmeccanici Industria, full‐time, entry level
Reporting line: You will report to the EU Manufacturing Engineering Lead, and work closely with Production Planning, Quality, Purchasing and R&D; on a daily basis.
Are you a recent engineering graduate who wants to see your work come to life on the shopfloor, not just in PowerPoint? This role is for you.
We are looking for a Junior Manufacturing Engineering Specialist to join our Manufacturing Engineering Office and support senior engineers in New Product Introduction (NPI), first industrial prototypes, and continuous improvement across the plant.
You can think of this as a hands‐on, entry‐level industrialization PMO role: you help coordinate data, dates, and documentation, then work with the shopfloor to make new products real.
What you'll do
- Support NPI and prototype builds end to end, from R&D; handover to first serial ramp, keeping the master plan, risks, and actions up to date.
- Coordinate the R&D;‐to‐Operations handover: collect drawings and specs, verify routings, work centers and tooling lists, and ensure product configuration is clear for production.
- Supervise Bill of Materials readiness in ERP (D365).
- Make sure work orders for prototypes and pilot builds are created, released, and sequenced on time, tracking lead times and raising constraints with Planning, Purchasing, and Production.
- Prepare build books and standard work for pilots and first‐offs, capture deviations and lessons learned, and feed them back into updates.
- Track capex and supplier deliverables for equipment, jigs, fixtures and gauges, including FAT/SAT dates and documentation.
- Keep the register of improvement projects for the area, with KPIs, owners, and due dates.
- Maintain clean data: routings, cycle times, scrap codes, tooling life, and ECN status.
- Be present on the shopfloor, working day‐to‐day with Production, Maintenance, Quality, and HSE to troubleshoot and improve.
What you bring
- Recent degree in Mechanical, Industrial, Mechatronics or Manufacturing Engineering,
- or a technical high school diploma with a strong hands‐on attitude.
- You are organized, detail‐driven, and a proactive communicator in Italian and English.
- You are willing to spend time on the shopfloor, close to the processes and the people, not only at a desk.
Nice to have
- Basics of Lean, 5S, VSM, and problem solving methodologies (8D, DMAIC). A Yellow Belt is a plus.
- Familiarity with FMEA / APQP / PPAP, and exposure to time study or MTM.
- Basic understanding of machining, assembly and manufacturing processes.
- Ability to read CAD drawings, BoMs and routings.
- Exposure to PLM/ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Teamcenter, Windchill) and solid Excel skills.
- Basic Power BI or Python for simple data analyses.
