Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona), Spain Hybrid Working Global tech company founded in 2011 Our mission is to shape the future through technology The role We are looking for a seasoned mechanical engineer with 4-5 years of experience, with an interest in roles with a combination of technical and non-technical tasks to join our team in Sant Cugat del Vallès. Your responsibilities As a mechanical product engineer within the Operations department, you will: Actively participate in the New Products Design phases working closely with R&D labs providing the required inputs from Operations perspective (manufacturability, serviceability, cost) Drive the transition from early prototype stages to volume production at Worldwide Manufacturing Partners (MPa), working closely with other partners in Asia responsible for production management. Hold the engineering responsibility after production starts, and improves the product and its related processes to optimize final product quality, cost and manufacturing efficiency. All these activities take place in an environment of worldwide manufacturing and distribution, working with external Manufacturing Partners, as well as internal partners ranging from R&D, Supply Chain, regional distribution centres, to Marketing. Your detailed key responsibilities and deliverables in each phase will be: a) New product generation (development phase) Understand and analyse new product subsystems and components to: Improve product reliability and quality, providing Design for manufacturing and serviceability feedback to R&D. Ensure design is compatible with the chosen manufacturing processes. Specify, design/outsource and qualify manufacturing equipments, tooling, tests and processes to guarantee industrialization. Provide support to production builds that happen during this phase at manufacturing site. b) New product launch (introduction phase) Guarantee that product launch can be done successfully in manufacturing by ensuring the readiness of manufacturing equipment, tooling, test and processes and by following up manufacturing metrics to correct deviations in order to achieve the right level of manufacturing stability. Execute transfer of product design and manufacturing processes "know-how" to engineering Team(s) at Manufacturing partners and the supporting production team. c) Cost reduction Review existing products design to reduce the parts and manufacturing costs: Identify opportunities and develop proposals. Evaluate technical feasibility of cost reduction proposals. Recommend projects to management where they are technically and financially sound. Manage execution of the projects through partners. d) Current products engineering responsibility Identify and solve the causes of product quality and reliability problems: Conduct failure analyses on products, materials and components, from customer and manufacturing data. Work with partners (within and outside HP) to identify and design solutions. Work closely with Customer Service Support team to effectively capture the main customer issues and drive their resolution. Solid technical background: Solid technical knowledge in some areas (ME). Analysis capacity: Analytical and creativity skills for engineering experiments and problem resolution. Strong Team Building: Able to build rapport with partners so that new ideas can be accepted smoothly; and to give/receive open and honest feedback in a positive attitude. Project Management skills: Able to deploy cross-organizational implementation plans thru partners, timely track progress, identify deviations and proactively take corrective actions.
