Technical Project Manager – Global Assembly & Joining CoC (m/f/div)
About this role
Position Purpose We are looking for a highly experienced Technical Project Manager to lead the development, industrialization and global deployment of advanced assembly and joining technologies across our EMS operations. The role combines technical leadership, project management and advanced problem solving , with particular expertise in adhesive bonding, gluing, mechanical assembly, fastening, fixtures, tooling and process automation .
The TPM will report directly to the COO and lead the global Assembly & Joining Center of Competence (CoC) . Key Responsibilities Global Assembly & Joining CoC Establish global standards, specifications and best practices for: Adhesive bonding and gluing Screwing and mechanical fastening Press-fit / snap-fit assembly Fixtures, tooling and poka-yoke Dispensing and curing technologies Assembly automation Build the technology roadmap and identify new technologies and suppliers.
Develop processes that can be standardized and replicated worldwide . Technical Project Management Lead complex projects from concept → process development → validation → SOP → global deployment . Coordinate Engineering, Operations, Quality, Procurement and R&D. Drive NPI, industrialization and technology transfer between plants. Ensure robust DFMA, PFMEA and process validation. Adhesive & Mechanical Technologies Strong technical capability in: Adhesive selection and qualification.
Surface preparation and treatment. Dispensing and curing. Bond-line and process control. DOE and process optimization. Fixtures, jigs and production devices. Torque-controlled fastening and mechanical assembly. Automation and error-proofing. Experience with PC, PC-ABS, ABS, metals, glass and composites is highly desirable. Advanced Problem Solving The TPM must be an exceptional hands-on problem solver , capable of leading complex manufacturing issues using: 8D | DMAIC | A3 | RCA | DOE | FMEA | SPC | MSA | Cp/Cpk The expectation is to move from problem → root cause → countermeasure → validation → robust production release , rather than simply implementing temporary fixes.
Global Deployment Act as global technical authority for assembly and joining. Benchmark processes across manufacturing sites. Support critical production escalations and launches. Transfer validated technologies between plants. Build global technical standards, training and lessons learned. Establish external partnerships with technology suppliers, laboratories and specialized engineering companies What distinguishes you: 10+ years in Manufacturing Engineering, Process Engineering, Industrialization or Technical Project Management.
