Lead Advanced Manufacturing Engineer

Essential Functions

Technology Industrialization: Design, specify, and implement advanced tooling and equipment to scale new manufacturing technologies from pilot to shop-floor reality.

Process & Lean Ownership: Own the development and refinement of manufacturing workflows. Use Lean methodologies (Value Stream Mapping, Root Cause Analysis) to diagnose process inefficiencies and implement sustainable, data-backed improvements.

Digital Transformation: Leverage data-driven insights and Industry 4.0 solutions to monitor and optimize process performance.

Technical Leadership: Support the technical implementation of automation, robotics, and complex process solutions.

Standardization: Deploy global process standards, control plans, and training modules to ensure consistency across the global supply chain.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work on highly matrixed programs between R&D, Engineering, and Operations to execute complex technical roadmaps and change management initiatives.

Skills & Mindset

Composite Domain Expertise: Solid understanding of composite manufacturing (infusion, layup, curing) and the ability to apply this knowledge to solve complex process challenges.

Project Autonomy: Proven ability to manage a defined project scope independently—identifying risks, managing schedules, and driving milestones to completion.

Manufacturing Rigor: A commitment to "Design for Manufacturing" (DfM) principles, with a focus on creating processes that are not only efficient but reliable and easy to maintain.

Collaborative Influence: Strong communication skills with the ability to bridge the gap between technical strategy and the practical realities of the shop floor.

Qualifications & Experience

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Industrial, Manufacturing, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

Experience: Demonstrated track record in process engineering and project execution.

Technical Core: Solid foundation in lean manufacturing, composite process and equipment development.

Travel: Willingness to travel (approx. 20%) to support trials, factory start-ups, and supplier visits.

Desired Characteristics

Strong wind turbine blade or composite manufacturing knowledge

Experience developing, leading, and executing technology development projects

Lean mindset – able to drive process improvement, standard work, etc.

Working knowledge of industrial automation, robotics, or PLC/HMI controls.
