About the Job

Requirements

  • An engineering degree or Master 2 (BAC+5) and 15 years of experience in an industrial environment involving bids, industrialization, and technical project management.
  • Expertise in industrial strategies, including Make/Team/Buy, transfers, sourcing, and industrial footprint planning.
  • Confirmed experience in industrial cost estimation, including RC/NRC and CAPEX, and techno-economic analysis.
  • Mastery of the Offer → Development → Industrialization (NPI) processes.
  • Ability to influence and arbitrate strategic industrial decisions in a complex, cross-functional environment.

Responsibilities

  • Define and cost industrial solutions from the bid phases, including Make/Team/Buy scenarios, industrial footprint impacts, and responses to industrial offset requirements.
  • Build and cost competitive industrial offers, including industrialization and/or transfer NRC and solution RC, and provide support through the bid process until award.
  • Establish industrial scenarios considering technological, capacity, purchasing, industrial offset, co-contracting and subcontracting, assembly, and industrial testing constraints.
  • Develop complete industrial plans covering organization and responsibilities, target industrial performance such as cost, cycle time and FPY, production flows and diagrams, and production and test process specifications.
  • Supervise implementation of defined strategies upon project notification for product/NPI and industrial capacity or transfer projects, ensuring consistency throughout projects and serial production.
  • Identify industrial risks, define mitigation plans, and assess opportunities associated with proposed scenarios.
  • Build industrial roadmaps aligned with product roadmaps and lead process-maturity plans, including MRL validation, implementation of new processes, and supplier resourcing.
  • Provide expertise on the CCI industrial deployment strategy and contribute to industrial-footprint changes.
  • Consolidate a reference base of industrial strategies, including CORE/NO CORE, Make/Team/Buy, and sourcing such as EMS/MMS, and maintain a portfolio of activities that can or cannot be transferred in international industrial projects.
  • Represent the industrial authority for the assigned product scope and define and champion industrial strategies across the product lifecycle.

Desired Qualifications

  • Knowledge of the defense or radar sector, or of long-cycle industrial environments.
  • Experience in international contexts involving transfers or offset.
  • Knowledge of ERP/PLM tools and digital industrial environments.
