Project Lead - Insourcing & Industrialisation

• Plan, coordinate, and execute product transfer, industrialization, and production in sourcing projects from initial feasibility to full-volume production.
• Plan and oversee manufacturing line ramp-ups, including optimization of assembly layouts and equipment integration.
• Apply Lean Production principles (such as 5S, lean line design, and waste reduction) to establish highly efficient and standardized manufacturing workflows.
• Manage and facilitate communication across critical functional interfaces, collaborating closely with Quality Management Manufacturing (QMM), Logistics (LOG), Purchasing (PUR), and regional engineering teams.
• Serve as the core connection point for collaborative industrialization activities between Protec and the broader Bosch manufacturing network.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a small, agile team of industrialization/transfer engineers and technicians.
• Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in strict alignment with Protec and Bosch Quality Gates.
