Lead Generator Production Engineer (m/f/d)

• →Bridge design and manufacturing: Serve as the primary technical interface between the rotor design engineering team and the factory floor — translating engineering drawings, specifications, and requirements into clear, actionable direction for manufacturing teams.
• →Drive producibility improvements: Engage early in design reviews to assess manufacturing feasibility and systematically improve generator design for producibility, cost-effectiveness, and process capability — without compromising quality, safety, or performance.
• →Resolve technical issues: Lead resolution of design-to-manufacturing challenges, including nonconformances and deviations. Apply root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective and preventive action (CAPA) methodologies to address issues at their source and prevent recurrence.
• →Capture and apply lessons learned: Feed manufacturing insights back into design standards, product improvements, and new product introductions — ensuring the organization learns and improves with each production cycle.
• →Lead and develop: Provide technical oversight, mentor junior engineers, and support lean and continuous improvement initiatives that raise the bar across the production environment.

You bring significant experience connecting engineering design with manufacturing reality, and you're equally comfortable in a design review and on the shop floor.

• A formal education and subsequent Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline is nice to have, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements in generator or heavy electrical equipment manufacturing.
• Significant experience in generator engineering, manufacturing engineering, or a design/manufacturing liaison role.
• Proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings, specifications, and manufacturing documentation.
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical problem-solving.
• Experience with root cause analysis and corrective/preventive action (CAPA) methodologies.
• Solid understanding of production planning, quality systems, and factory floor constraints.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and operations functions.
• Fluent English required; Swiss German strongly valued.

• Experience in a generator original equipment manufacturer (OEM), heavy electrical equipment, or comparable industrial environment.
• Strong technical knowledge of large generator components and manufacturing processes in one or more of the following areas:
  • Rotor construction
  • Armature core build
  • Armature winding
  • Armature lamination punching processes
  • Armature bar design and manufacturing

• Familiarity with lean manufacturing and structured problem-solving methodologies (e.g., Six Sigma, 8D).
• Experience with product lifecycle management (PLM), design change control, and configuration management.
