We are looking for a top-tier System Project Manager to steer the development of integrated solutions for the automotive and industrial sectors. Your role will go beyond managing electronics; you will drive the synergy between electronics, plastics, lighting solutions, and insulation into high-value-added products (i.e., “Box Building” and “Smart Systems”) for global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier-1 suppliers.
Key Responsibilities
- End-to-End Project Management: Leading complex projects from the initial concept to the Start of Production (SOP), including electronics, housings (plastic/metal), and wire harnesses.
- Network Leadership: Coordinating interdisciplinary teams across our departments and in collaboration with our specialized network of strategic partners.
- Customer Interface: Acting as the primary technical and strategic point of contact for international customers (OEM/Tier-1).
- Performance Monitoring: Monitoring and achieving key performance indicators (KPIs) regarding quality, deadlines (APQP/PPAP), and target costing.
- Risk and Change Management: Proactively managing project risks (FMEA) and technical changes in a dynamic environment.
Your Profile
- Education: A degree in engineering (Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics) or a related technical field.
- Experience: At least 3–5 years of experience in project management within the automotive industry.
- Systems Thinking: A solid understanding of the interplay between electronics, mechanics, and thermal management. You do not need to be an expert in every field, but you must understand the “language” of all areas.
- Process Knowledge: Familiarity with automotive standards (IATF 16949) and development cycles (APQP).
- Communication: Fluency in English; ability to negotiate with high-level stakeholders and manage relationships with international suppliers.
What Sets You Apart
- Experience in automotive lighting, power electronics, or electronic control units (Control Boxes).
- A “Get-it-done” results-oriented mindset: The ability to challenge existing frameworks to achieve ambitious goals, such as 24-hour quotation deadlines or tight prototyping schedules.
- Experience managing projects involving multiple partners or external engineering service providers.
