The Future University - Head - Engineering

1. Engineering Strategy & Leadership:

- Define and implement engineering strategies aligned with product roadmap and business growth plans.

- Provide technical leadership and guidance across both MTP and Projects engineering teams.

- Ensure close coordination with the MTP Design Manager and Projects Design Managers to streamline workloads and priorities.

2. MTP Engineering Oversight:

- Guide the design and standardization of chip conveyors, coolant filtration units, and chip processing systems for machine tools.

- Ensure modular, scalable, and cost-effective designs suitable for volume production and customization where needed.

- Promote continuous product improvement and value engineering.

3. Projects Engineering Oversight:

- Lead design and execution of centralized chip handling systems, chip processing systems, centralized coolant filtration systems and stamping scrap conveyors.

- Ensure technical feasibility, compliance with customer specifications, and integration with site requirements.

- Support project teams in layout finalization, P&ID development, system calculations, and equipment selection.

4. Design Quality & Delivery:

- Review and approve critical engineering deliverables including drawings, layouts, and BOMs.

- Ensure all outputs meet technical standards, customer expectations, and internal quality benchmarks.

- Track and report design cycle times, engineering productivity, and release schedules.

5. Cross-functional Coordination:

- Collaborate with Sales, Projects, Operations, and Procurement to ensure timely and practical engineering support.

- Interface with customers and vendors for technical discussions, validations, and approvals.

6. Team Development & Resource Planning:

- Mentor and develop a capable engineering team with strong product and application knowledge.

- Evaluate workloads, plan resources, and ensure timely support to both high-volume MTP orders and custom project solutions.

- Identify and address skill gaps through training and development initiatives.

7. Process & Innovation:

- Drive adoption of design automation, CAD standards, and data management tools (e.g., Solidedge, AutoCAD, PLM systems).

- Encourage innovation in design to reduce cost, improve performance, and shorten lead time.

- Support R&D and prototyping for new product introductions or enhancements.
