Position Overview
As part of the New Product Introduction (NPI) team within our Global Supply Chain division, the System Engineer will play a pivotal role in guiding products from concept to commercial launch. This role requires both technical expertise and cross-functional collaboration to ensure new systems meet performance, quality, and manufacturability standards. The engineer will act as a key point of contact for internal stakeholders, R&D teams, and external suppliers, supporting both development and industrialization efforts.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead design transfer activities, applying Design for Excellence (DfX) practices to ensure smooth product introduction.
- Develop deep technical expertise in assigned subsystems, providing guidance and training when required.
- Partner with R&D, manufacturing engineers, and supply partners to align design and production goals.
- Conduct design reviews, focusing on ease of assembly, manufacturability, and yield improvement, supported by the use of assembly and test fixtures.
- Drive cost optimization by:
Integrating system-level design improvements early in development.
Embedding LEAN methodologies within manufacturing processes. - Anticipate and integrate long-term product sustaining requirements into the development cycle.
- Create and validate assembly and testing jigs/fixtures.
- Ensure technical documentation is developed, maintained, and aligned with QMS (Quality Management System) standards.
- Work closely with project teams to define and maintain QMS-compliant workflows throughout development and industrialization.
Qualifications & Experience
- Minimum three years of hands-on experience in a product development or NPI environment.
- Working knowledge of Design for Excellence (DfX) principles.
- Familiarity with tools such as DOORS, JAMA, and SAP.
- Exposure to regulated industries (e.g., medical devices, aerospace, automotive) preferred.
- Background in Electrical Engineering strongly desired.
- Practical experience with CAD systems, either 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks) or Electrical CAD (e.g., Altium Designer).
