Experteer Overview In this role you will drive manufacturability and industrialization for steel components across a global supplier base, partnering with Ru0026amp; D, Quality, and Procurement to ensure designs are manufacturable, scalable, and cost-effective. You’ll lead DFMA, supplier readiness, and engineering change activity while applying lean practices and advancing new manufacturing technologies. This position offers hands-on impact in accelerating Nextpower’s renewable energy mission and shaping production readiness for steel products.Compensaciones / Beneficios
- Provide manufacturing feasibility input during product development and advise on DFMA with external supplier feedback
- Review drawings/revisions to identify manufacturability risks and propose solutions
- Lead manufacturing technology initiatives and readiness activities for steel/industrial processes (forming, stamping, welding, laser, coating, assembly, automation)
- Plan and execute prototype builds, supplier trials, and on-site validations to verify dimensions and functionality
- Drive value engineering and cost-reduction across steel products while ensuring performance and reliability
- Define and validate manufacturing readiness deliverables (process flows, risk assessments, inspections, instructions, packaging, ramp-readiness)
- Perform supplier factory readiness audits and support ramp execution; address constraints anddrive corrective actions
- Deploy manufacturing technologies and best practices across supplier footprint including automation/inspection
- Manage engineering changes (ECR/DCO/ECO)
