About the job
Join our dynamic Research and Development team as a Mechanical Design Leader for our dishwasher product line. We are seeking an experienced and passionate leader to direct the Mechanical Design Department. In this pivotal role, you will oversee a talented team of engineers responsible for the comprehensive mechanical system design, development, and validation of dishwasher products — from initial concept to large-scale production.
Your influence will extend to the evolution of cutting-edge dishwasher technologies, ensuring unmatched performance, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and manufacturability, while fostering innovation and platform-based development across our product line.
Key Responsibilities:
- Establish and execute the mechanical technology roadmap and innovation strategy for dishwashers, aligning closely with product planning and business objectives.
- Lead the complete development lifecycle of dishwasher products and key mechanical subsystems, including hydraulic and drying systems, structure, and door assembly, from concept design and simulation to verification, industrialization, and successful mass production.
- Assume total responsibility for product performance, reliability, quality, and timely market launch.
- Advocate for platform-based and modular mechanical architectures, encouraging reuse and standardization to simplify processes, reduce costs, and enhance quality consistency and supply chain robustness.
- Develop, maintain, and continuously enhance mechanical design standards, development processes, and verification systems, ensuring the application of best practices, tools, and methodologies.
- Lead technical reviews and crucial design decisions; proactively identify, evaluate, and mitigate technical risks to ensure projects meet deadlines, budget constraints, and quality standards.
- Build, lead, and nurture a high-performing mechanical design team, promoting a culture of innovation, collaboration, accountability, and technical excellence.
- Collaborate closely with our German headquarters in Dillingen to ensure effective cross-site teamwork, technical alignment, and knowledge exchange.
