The assignment is within Manufacturing Engineering and supports the industrialization of advanced High Voltage Battery Assembly systems for Battery Electric Vehicles.

The work is performed in a cross-functional engineering environment covering manufacturing processes, automated production equipment, product-to-process interfaces, quality assurance and supplier collaboration.

The consultant will drive the development of automated manufacturing concepts, process flows and production-system architecture for High Voltage Battery Assembly. The assignment focuses on integrated solutions that meet requirements for quality, capacity, safety, flexibility, material flow and industrialization.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop end-to-end manufacturing concepts, process flows and station breakdowns.

• Define automation level, line architecture, material flow, buffers, interfaces and operating principles.

• Establish cycle-time assumptions, capacity logic, bottleneck strategy and equipment availability needs.

• Translate product and process requirements into RFQ-ready technical specifications.

• Coordinate robotics, controls, mechanical equipment, quality, traceability, IT/OT, logistics and facility interfaces.

• Evaluate supplier concepts and lead technical RFQ clarifications and design reviews.

• Perform feasibility, risk and trade-off assessments covering quality, timing, footprint, flexibility and cost.

• Support virtual verification, installation, commissioning, ramp-up and production-readiness activities.
