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
- 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.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
