Tognana, Italy

The Engineering to Manufacturing (E2M) Manager is responsible for ensuring the seamless transition of products from engineering development into manufacturing. This role acts as a bridge between design engineering and production, ensuring that product designs are optimized for manufacturability, supply chain robustness, and efficient material flow.

The position collaborates closely with engineering teams, supply chain, and regional manufacturing sites to support product industrialization, dual sourcing strategies, and BOM optimization.

Responsibilities:

Manufacturing Readiness & Product Industrialization

• Drive the transition of new products from engineering development into manufacturing.
• Develop and implement tools and processes to support efficient product ramp-up and production readiness.
• Ensure product designs are aligned with manufacturing capabilities and operational requirements.
• Define and manage sub-assembly strategies to reduce overall assembly takt time and improve production throughput.

Dual Sourcing Strategy

• Identify, evaluate, and validate dual sourcing opportunities for critical components.
• Work with supply chain and engineering teams to reduce supply risk and increase sourcing flexibility.

Bill of Materials (BOM) Ownership – Bulk Components

• Own and manage BOM elements related to bulk components.
• Optimize BOM structure to improve material flow efficiency and manufacturing operations.
• Ensure alignment between engineering BOM and manufacturing requirements.
• Product Transfer & Regional Manufacturing Support
• Support product transfers to manufacturing sites in other regions.
• Collaborate with regional teams to ensure smooth knowledge transfer and process alignment.

Sub-Assembly & Outsourcing Strategy

• Evaluate opportunities for sub-assembly externalization through qualified partners or contract manufacturers.
• Assess potential cooperation with external suppliers to improve scalability, cost efficiency, and manufacturing capacity.
• Work with supply chain, manufacturing engineering and procurement to define outsourcing strategies for selected assemblies.

Cross-Functional Engineering Alignment

• Work closely with Senior MCAD and Senior ECAD engineers to align on technical solutions that can be effectively implemented across multiple products.
• Ensure design decisions support scalability, manufacturability, and industrialization across product families.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Several years of experience in product development, manufacturing engineering, or product industrialization.
• Experience working with cross-functional teams including engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing operations.
• Experience with BOM management and product lifecycle processes.
• Familiarity with NPI (New Product Introduction) and product ramp-up processes.

Key Skills:

• Strong understanding of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).
• Experience with product industrialization and manufacturing ramp-up.
• Knowledge of assembly line optimization and takt time reduction.
• Experience evaluating outsourcing or contract manufacturing opportunities.
• Strong problem-solving, coordination, and stakeholder management skills.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities.
