Industrialization Engineer

Your Opportunity

You’ll join the Medical Devices team, which takes our diagnostic and treatment devices from R&D to series production. You’ll work daily with production, supply chain, and quality.

Your mission: make R&D products manufacturable, testable, and economically viable, then run them through their first controlled series and hand them over to production.
After that, you stay the technical go-to person for product and process issues during the run.

Design for manufacturing

• Bring manufacturing, assembly, testability, and cost constraints into early design phases, and challenge design choices on their industrial impact.
• Own design-to-cost: estimate target unit cost (in-house assembly + purchased sub-assemblies) and propose savings before design freeze.

Industrialization

• Lead the industrialization of new products and product changes: assembly processes and workstations, routings, tooling, fixtures, target cycle times.
• Define in-process controls and end-of-line test equipment with R&D, from specification through development or sourcing to validation.
• Manage version transitions with production and supply chain.

Pilot runs and transfer to production

• Plan and run pilot and first series, tracking yields and analyzing defects. Define phase-exit and transfer criteria.
• Train operators and formally hand each product over to the Production Manager.

Production support

• Be production’s technical point of contact for recurring issues, yield drift, and process or design changes.
• Provide cycle-time and yield data for capacity decisions, and drive continuous improvement and cost reduction.

Suppliers and industrial partners

• Write technical specifications for PCBAs, sub-assemblies, specific components, and test equipment.
• Act as technical point of contact for our EMS, mechanical, and packaging partners: design reviews, supplier DFM, quality issues, qualification (first articles, transfers, critical components, obsolescence).

Quality and regulatory

• Create the manufacturing documentation for new products (routings, work instructions, control plans, DMR elements) within our ISO 13485 quality system.
• Lead process and test equipment validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), and contribute to EU MDR, FDA, and UK MDR technical files and notified-body audits.
• Take part in root-cause analyses and CAPAs, and handle design changes that affect manufacturing.

What You Bring

• A master’s degree in engineering (civil or industrial engineering) or equivalent. Experience matters more than the diploma.
• 5+ years in industrialization / NPI, in medtech, electronics, or a comparable industry.
• At least one product taken all the way from prototype to series production: DFM, process definition, pilot runs, transfer to production.
• Strong command of industrialization and quality tools: process validation, PFMEA, control plans, structured problem-solving.
• Experience designing or specifying end-of-line test equipment for electronic products.
• Ability to write technical specifications and manage suppliers on technical matters.
• Comfort at the interface between design and production: you can challenge R&D and earn the trust of the shop floor.
• Autonomy and pragmatism: you enjoy building what doesn’t exist yet.
• Fluent French and English.
• This is a hands-on role: you’ll be on site at least 3 days a week.

What Makes You Stand Out

• Experience in a regulated environment, ideally medical devices (ISO 13485, EU MDR, FDA)
• Assembly of miniaturized electronics or wearables
• Work with electronics manufacturing services (EMS) providers
• Several product launches run in parallel
• Hands-on analysis of test and production data
