Senior Mechanical Design Manufacturing Engineer

About the role

The Senior Mechanical Design Manufacturing Engineer ensures that mechanical designs are fully industrialized, manufacturable, and aligned with project execution, supply‑chain strategies, and business objectives. The role serves as the key interface between Engineering, Supply Chain, Package Management, manufacturers, and proposal teams, while also acting as the technical reference for sealing and low‑friction items.

Key responsibilities

• Optimize mechanical designs for manufacturability, assembly, inspection, testing, cost, and schedule.
• Review and challenge design choices (materials, tolerances, machining, welding, coatings, assembly sequences) to reduce risk and improve industrial robustness.
• Define manufacturing assumptions, critical industrial parameters, and manufacturing philosophies from early project phases.
• Provide manufacturing input for sourcing strategies, supplier selection, and make‑or‑buy decisions.
• Support tendering activities, bid evaluations, technical clarifications, and supplier negotiations.
• Identify manufacturing risks and propose mitigation plans aligned with project targets.
• Act as the main interface with manufacturers to ensure compliance with technical requirements, quality standards, and schedules.
• Review and validate manufacturing documentation (drawings, procedures, ITPs) and manage technical issues, deviations, and concessions.
• Support inspections and Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) when required.
• Contribute to proposals by defining realistic manufacturing strategies, cost drivers, and risk assessments.
