Manufacturing Engineer – Powertrain (Digital Process Planning)

We are looking for a Manufacturing/Process Engineer to support digital process planning and manufacturing execution for powertrain components (engines, transmissions, electric drive units, battery systems).

This role focuses on transforming engineering data into manufacturing-ready processes using digital manufacturing tools, while also supporting shop-floor implementation, line balancing, and plant launches.

• Digital Process Planning
• Create and manage Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM) from Engineering BOM (EBOM)
• Develop Bill of Process (BOP) and structure manufacturing sequences
• Build process trees, define operations, and assign workstations
• Generate and maintain electronic work instructions for shop-floor use
• Map tools, fixtures, and resources to manufacturing operations
• Manufacturing Optimisation
• Perform line balancing and cycle time analysis to improve throughput
• Conduct time and motion studies to identify value-added vs non-value-added activities
• Optimise plant layout and workflow using digital tools
• Support plant-specific configuration of manufacturing processes
• Change Management & Collaboration
• Update MBOM, process flows, and documentation based on engineering changes
• Work closely with Product Development, IT teams, and plant operations
• Support system testing (UAT) and digital tool enhancements
• Maintain manufacturing data in enterprise systems
• Tooling & Launch Support
• Define technical requirements for tooling, fixtures, and equipment
• Support supplier interactions, technical reviews, and equipment buy-off
• Use virtual manufacturing tools for layout validation and ergonomics
• Support shop-floor installation, commissioning, and production ramp-up
• Ensure compliance with safety and ergonomic standards
  
  

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical / Manufacturing / Industrial / Automotive Engineering
• 1–4 years of experience in manufacturing or process engineering
• Basic understanding of automotive manufacturing processes (assembly/powertrain)
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings and CAD models (GD&T knowledge preferred)
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Good communication and cross-functional collaboration ability
  
  

Preferred (Nice To Have)

• Experience with Teamcenter / EasyPlan or similar digital manufacturing tools
• Exposure to EBOM–MBOM transformation and BOP creation
• Familiarity with time studies and line balancing
• Knowledge of PFMEA and control plans
• Exposure to electrified powertrain manufacturing
• Six Sigma certification (Green Belt/Black Belt)
