Job Summary
As part of the launch of a new industrial unit dedicated to the production and testing of electronic and telecom products (PCBs, RF modules, embedded equipment, or communication systems), we are seeking a Project Manager specialized in industrial technology transfer.

You will lead the full transfer of electronic assembly, integration, testing, and validation processes from a reference site to an international site. You will ensure industrial continuity, technical compliance, quality performance, and timely delivery in a high-tech environment.

Key Responsibilities

1. Industrial Transfer Management
   • Structure and manage the overall transfer schedule (processes, equipment, validation).
   • Define project governance and coordinate technical teams (industrialization, quality, methods, supply chain).
   • Identify technical risks related to electronic and telecom process transfers.
   • Report progress to clients and industrial management.
2. Electronic Assembly Process Transfer
   • Analyze existing lines: SMT, THT, mechanical integration, and cabling.
   • Define the target industrial workflow (SKD/CKD if applicable).
   • Transfer industrial documentation: process sheets, bills of materials, manufacturing files, machine programs.
   • Ensure performance reproducibility (throughput, yield, quality).
3. Test & Validation Bench Transfer
   • Identify and transfer functional, ICT, FCT, RF, and burn-in test benches.
   • Revalidate test sequences and associated software.
   • Supervise FAT/SAT of production and test equipment.
   • Ensure compliance with client requirements and industry standards.
4. Industrial Validation & Qualification
   • Manage pilot series and process qualification.
   • Conduct First Article Inspections (FAI).
   • Monitor performance indicators (FPY, yield, MTBF, defect rates).
   • Implement corrective actions for any quality or process deviations.
5. Laboratory Cloning & Test Environment
   • Define technical specifications for the lab (ESD, RF, climatic conditions, automated test benches).
   • Coordinate installation of measurement equipment (spectrum analyzers, RF generators, microwave benches, etc.).
   • Ensure compliance with ATEX requirements if applicable.
6. Training & Skills Transfer
   • Train local teams on electronic processes and test protocols.
   • Ensure knowledge transfer for electronic industrialization.
   • Validate operational autonomy of the target site.

Candidate Profile

• Engineering degree in electronics, telecommunications, embedded systems, or industrial engineering.
• Significant experience in industrialization or project management in PCB production, telecom equipment, or critical systems.
• Strong knowledge of SMT environments, automated test benches, and product validation.
• Familiarity with industrial quality standards (IPC, ISO, electronic traceability).
• Experience in international coordination is a plus.
• Fluent English required.
• Strong technical analysis skills and cross-functional leadership.
