About the role

indie Semiconductor develops semiconductors, photonics and radar sensors and systems for automotive, industrial and adjacent markets. Its photonics team builds optical systems and components used in material processing, LiDAR, navigation, sensing, imaging, augmented reality and medical applications. The Industrialization Engineer ensures manufacturing processes are capable, validated and ready for reliable production, acting as a technical authority between Engineering, Production, Quality and external manufacturing partners. The role covers process qualification, manufacturing validation and data-driven studies supporting new product introduction, process changes and scale-up.

Key responsibilities

• Lead qualification and validation of manufacturing processes, equipment, materials and tooling.
• Design and analyse statistically sound experiments (DoE), capability studies and process characterization.
• Establish process capability metrics, measurement system requirements and control strategies for critical processes.
• Support qualification of new materials, adhesives, consumables and manufacturing technologies.
• Investigate process-related quality and reliability issues and implement corrective actions.
• Act as manufacturing representative for outsourced production, supporting process transfer and qualification between internal and external sites.
• Maintain validation documentation, technical reports, specifications and engineering procedures in line with the ISO quality management system.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial or Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• 3-5 years of experience in industrialization, manufacturing engineering, process validation or production engineering.
• Experience in medium- or high-volume manufacturing in photonics, semiconductor, optoelectronics or other precision manufacturing.
• Practical experience planning and running qualification of processes, equipment and materials.
• Excellent written and spoken English; German and/or Italian are an advantage.

Required skills

• Strong knowledge of Design of Experiments (DoE), process capability analysis, Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Measurement System Analysis (MSA).
• Hands-on approach to manufacturing processes, equipment and technical investigations.
• Desired: IQ/OQ/PQ validation methods, PFMEA, Control Plans, process risk management, and experience with outsourced manufacturing, supplier qualification or technology transfer.
