Process Engineer

JOB SUMMARY

At our Boudry site, attached to MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, your mission is to carry out the analysis of critical processes (processes with a high level of technical risk or critical for the customer's product) and design solutions for the development, assembly monitoring, debugging and validation of these processes relying on other engineering departments.

Your main responsibilities include:

• For critical process stations, define mechatronic concepts and theoretically size the elements in agreement with the various IMA departments, the equipment, solutions and associated OEMs. Prepare design documents in agreement with the project validation engineer. Organise and monitor process activities on one or more customer projects. Ensure that process activities and deliverables are adequately planned in the project schedule.
• Write test protocols and reports, execute or organise their execution. Perform calibration of critical process stations: design, procedures, executions and reports. Provide information and support to documentation for the writing of manuals and SOPs. Provide the necessary training required by our clients.
• Propose and write process offers to meet customer needs while respecting the IMA Automation strategy. Participate in the preparation of offers for critical processes. Participate in estimating the hours required for the process to complete the project.
• Prepare and monitor the project's EVM (Earned Value Management). Submit and comment on EVM indicators to the project manager and manager. Maintain direct contact with clients regarding critical process topics identified during the offer phase or throughout the project.
• Read the URS, complete the requirements matrix. Establish the link between the customer's product quality attributes and the key process criteria and parameters. Define and present the basic process concepts to the client and agree with them on the control strategy.
• Manage the models and instructions of Process Engineering documents. Propose and participate in improvements to these models. Provide training to internal staff informing HR for the monitoring of polyvalences. Improve existing processes based on customer or workshop feedback.
• Explain critical assembly and wiring points to MAP and EMT teams. Work with software teams for configuration and/or interfaces of OEM elements. Configure and debug elements. Attend various machine test and performance runs, analyse data from these runs to improve critical processes.
• Acquire knowledge of new strategic processes. Follow market technological evolution and update technical choices related to the process. Develop and use numerical simulations to predict and optimise processes.

MUST HAVE

• Master's degree in electronics/electrical engineering/mechanics/physics or industrial computing.
• At least three years of experience in industry or research, ideally with experience in the design and development of manufacturing processes.
• Strong technical knowledge in mechanics, electronics, materials science and/or industrial computing.
• Ability to quickly train in new fields according to project needs.
• Good organisational skills. Ability to plan, coordinate and monitor several projects in parallel as well as sub-projects independently.
• Flexibility and agility to cope with unforeseen events, rapid changes and urgent matters to be handled.
• Ability to make decisions, argue them and support them.
• Excellent communication skills to participate in technical discussions with clients and to be able to write presentations and reports, mostly in English.
• Ability to work in a team: lead discussions with diverse interlocutors, have a constructive attitude, find consensus, argue objectively and respectfully.
• Very good knowledge of English (minimum B2)

NICE TO HAVE
