Technical Project Leader for the facility in Beijing plant
Technical Project Leader-German
The OE Application Team:
The ‘OE-Application Engineering Team’ has as main task to support OEM Customer Projects on all Technical aspects: 2D/3D Designs, CAE-calculations, DFMEA, prototypes building and testing, make and release BOM (Bill-Of-Material). The OE-Application team covers the complete product gamma (conventional dampers, monotubes, Semi-Active damper systems (CES), modular assemblies, Mc-Pherson struts), and application introduction of new valving systems.
Job Description of Technical Project Leader:
The Technical Project Leader (TPL) takes the lead and is responsible for the coordination of this Development Process with as main target to develop the most optimal product that complies with the OEM Customer Requirements and with our internal standards.
The TPL can count on the support of the Competence centers and internal Design Rules and databases. The TPL is the main point of contact for all technical items, both to the Project Team as to the OEM-Customer. Regular customer contacts are therefore a vital part of the job as TPL in order to guarantee an efficient way of working.
Regarding prototype building, the TPL is the driver to make component drawings, preliminary BOM’s (X-BOM’s) and drawings of necessary tools and jigs to make the prototypes in an efficient way and of good quality.
Further tasks of the TPL include the making of the Validation Plan and Engineering Spec’s, complete the Application Design FMEA (Failure Mode & Effect Analysis) and the launch and follow-up of CAE – calculations.
The TPL attends also technical meetings at the customer.
The expectation is that the TPL has - or gains – sufficient product knowledge and technical understanding in order to run this development in a fluent and efficient way.
The TPL has therefore continuous contact with the Project Team, the Competence centers, the OEM-Customer, Manufacturing, Purchasing and other internal departments.
Qualifications:
- Industrial Engineer (Preferable Mechanical Engineering).
- Adequate technical & mechanical understanding.
- Stress-resistant and a strong analytical and creative approach.
- Good communication skills and able to operate independent within a Team structure.
- Prepared to make business trips if necessary for the job.
- Fluent German speaking and good English.
