At The PAC Group (PAC), we specialize in engineering consulting, program management, and operational excellence, delivering high-impact solutions in more than 20 countries. For more than 41 years, we have partnered with leading companies across the automotive, aerospace, industrial, and technology sectors, providing strategic guidance and hands‑on execution that drive innovation and efficiency.

Whether launching advanced manufacturing systems, deploying digital simulation tools, or scaling global operations, PAC thrives at the intersection of technology, engineering, and problem‑solving.

Joining PAC means joining a dynamic, fast‑paced, global team that values curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

PAC is supporting a client launching an electric drive unit manufacturing line in Saudi Arabia involving the e-motor and inverter through integrated e‑drive assembly and end‑of‑line testing. The line will supply a vehicle assembly plant.

The role covers equipment installation and commissioning, process qualification, run‑at‑rate, PPAP, Start of Production (SOP), and ramp‑up to full‑volume production.

We are recruiting several Process Engineers. Depending on your background, you will take deep ownership of one process area—stator, rotor, motor assembly and test, gearbox, or inverter and power electronics—or work as a cross‑process generalist owning an end‑to‑end value stream.

Candidates should identify which profile best aligns with their experience so the project scope can be matched accordingly.

• Own the process definition for your assigned perimeter, including process flow, cycle‑time allocation, parameter windows, control plans, PFMEA, work instructions, and change control from installation through stable‑rate production.
• Lead equipment commissioning, SAT, process capability studies, and qualification runs; define and execute DOE activities to establish initial parameter windows.
• Deliver APQP and PPAP requirements for your assigned area.
• Engineer to takt by balancing stations and eliminating bottlenecks and micro‑stops.
• Drive the production ramp curve by converting scrap, rework, first‑pass yield, and downtime data into a prioritized improvement backlog and closing gaps to full‑rate production.
• Act as the first‑line technical escalation point for production, leading structured problem‑solving methodologies including 8D, 5‑Why, Ishikawa, and Shainin.
• Make containment decisions in partnership with Production and Quality.
• Design and validate error‑proofing, including poka‑yoke, in‑line verification, torque and force‑displacement monitoring, and part traceability.
• Build the process data foundation through SPC on critical characteristics, MES and traceability systems, and statistical monitoring.
• Support customer and supplier interfaces, including sequenced JIT/JIS delivery requirements, customer‑specific requirements, supplier PPAP for incoming components, and problem‑solving with equipment and component suppliers.
• Contribute to safety and…
