Process Engineer - Motor Manufacturing

Orqa

Osijek, Croatia

We're looking for a Process Engineer – Motor Manufacturing to develop, implement, and improve the manufacturing processes behind our next generation of drone motors.

You'll bridge motor development and day-to-day manufacturing, translating engineering requirements into reliable and scalable production processes while working closely with Engineering, Production, Quality, Supply Chain, Maintenance, and Test teams.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Develop, implement, and continuously improve manufacturing and assembly processes for drone motors and related components
• Translate motor designs, drawings, specifications, BOMs, and engineering data into reliable and scalable manufacturing methods
• Review motor designs for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA) and recommend improvements
• Define production processes, parameters, tooling, fixtures, equipment, work instructions, inspection points, balancing, and testing requirements
• Support prototype builds, New Product Introduction (NPI), production transfer, ramp-up, and implementation of product and process changes
• Develop and improve motor inspection and testing processes, including electrical, performance, balancing, vibration, and end-of-line testing
• Investigate manufacturing issues, defects, test failures, and process deviations, driving root-cause analysis and corrective actions
• Improve process capability, yield, cycle time, quality, efficiency, and scalability through standardization, automation, waste reduction, and continuous improvement

WHAT WE EXPECT

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field
• Professional experience in process, manufacturing, production, industrial engineering, or a closely related technical role
• Practical knowledge of manufacturing and assembly processes for electric motors, electromechanical products, or mechanically integrated assemblies
• Knowledge of motor manufacturing processes such as winding, insulation, soldering, bonding, balancing, bearing installation, and assembly
• Experience developing, documenting, implementing, and improving manufacturing or assembly processes
• Ability to work with technical drawings, specifications, BOMs, work instructions, process documentation, and engineering changes
• Experience with structured problem-solving, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, process validation, and continuous improvement
• Strong analytical and cross-functional communication skills, with working proficiency in English

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with drone propulsion systems, brushless electric motors, ESCs, stators, rotors, windings, magnets, bearings, or related motor technologies
• Experience with NPI, prototype builds, production transfer, or production ramp-up
• Knowledge of DFM/DFA, Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, or similar process-improvement methodologies
• Familiarity with manufacturing systems, automation, CAD, balancing systems, or test and data-acquisition tools
