Job Summary

Manufacturing Engineer – Module Frames leads concurrent engineering (DFM/DFMA), supplier process readiness, and industrialization for steel module frames. Partners with R&D, Quality, PM, and Procurement to ensure designs are manufacturable, scalable, cost-effective, and reliable, while driving manufacturing technology adoption, supplier readiness, and rigorous validation across a global supplier base to meet customer expectations.

Location: Shanghai

Workplace: Hybrid

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Industrial, Process & Manufacturing Engineering

Key Responsibilities

•Support the launch, commissioning and ramp up of new equipment at supplier locations, domestic and/or internationally.
•Participate in product development from concept through design release, providing manufacturing feasibility input and DFM/DFMA recommendations. Partner with suppliers to obtain and incorporate external DFM feedback and capability constraints
•Review engineering drawings, specifications, and design revisions; identify manufacturability risks and propose engineering solutions. Support structured design release gates by providing engineering recommendations based on manufacturability, process capability, cost drivers, and supplier readiness
•Lead and/or drive innovation in manufacturing technologies and technical readiness activities for complex roll forming of steel products while incorporating other technologies where applicable, such as stamping, casting, linear welding, laser cutting, machining, coating/finishing, assembly, testing, and/or automation
•Plan and execute prototype builds, supplier trials, and on-site validations; verify functional intent and key/critical dimensions through appropriate measurement and inspection methods

Travel: High travel

Key Requirements

•Bachelor’s degree in an Engineering discipline with at least 10+ years of relevant experience in manufacturing engineering / industrialization for complex roll formed steel components and assemblies in an OEM or contract manufacturing environment
•10+ years minimum experience in design for manufacturing, steel manufacturing processes or steel machinery (leading CAPEX projects implementing machinery or equipment into factories)
•5+ years minimum experience serving large OEM customers in renewable energy, automotive, consumer electronics, consumer goods, or industrial manufacturing (solar tracker experience a plus)
•Demonstrated experience delivering concurrent engineering outcomes: DFM/DFMA influence on design releases, supplier capability translation into design requirements, and factory validation
•Strong experience with roll forming complex steel shapes and fabrication processes (roll forming, stamping, welding, casting, laser cutting, machining, coating/finishing, assembly, automation). Experience with additional manufacturing processes is a plus
