- 15+ years in engineering / industrialization / Design engineering / NPI (experience range flexible if fit is strong).
- Demonstrated experience working with contract manufacturers and/or external supplier ecosystems.
- Track record of driving DFM/DFT/DFA changes and translating engineering designs into scalable production.
- Strong discipline in engineering change control (ECO/ECN) and engineering documentation.
- Experience driving supplier/CM performance through data, cadence, and problem-solving.
- Strong communicator who can serve as the primary liaison between India partners and Norway R&D.
- Own the industrialization pathway from Norway R&D to CM(s): prototype → pilot → ramp →
- stable serial production.
- Drive Engineering design/testability/serviceability improvements through Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Test (DFT), and Design for Assembly (DFA).
- Define manufacturing readiness criteria and ensure complete build packs (BOMs,
- drawings, work instructions, test specs, traceability requirements, packaging).
