JOB MISSION

The Product Engineer (Level II) at HwIT is a key technical contributor bridging RD innovation and global manufacturing. This professional actively supports the industrialization cycle — from first RD prototypes through NPI delivery to mass production — executing BOM control, product cost modeling, and equipment management for NPI, helping our customers' products achieve world-class manufacturing quality, competitive costs, and scalable production.

SCOPE RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Product Lifecycle Financial Control

• BOM Management for Complex Products: Execute technical ownership of Bills of Materials, ensuring structural integrity, component traceability, and alignment with engineering changes.

• Product Cost Control: Assist in developing and maintaining detailed product cost models, tracking cost drivers around materials and processes, and supporting cost reduction initiatives.

• Engineering Change Control (ECR/ECN): Support the Engineering Change Request and Engineering Change Notice cycle, documenting modifications, capturing lessons learned, and evaluating industrial feasibility and cost impacts.

2. Process Design, NPI, and Global Transference

• Process Flow, Requirements Documentation: Assist in defining assembly process flows, line requirements, and maintaining comprehensive manufacturing documentation. Support process validations and failure analysis arising from process deviations.

• NPI Equipment Management: Help define technical specifications for production equipment and materials, tracking procurement activities in collaboration with RD and Manufacturing teams.

• Manufacturing Capacity Model: Develop and update assembly line capacity models, collecting yields and process times to assist in ensuring production scalability and feeding capacity utilization data into cost models.

• RD to Manufacturing Bridge: Execute the technical transference of validated processes from RD labs to high-volume manufacturing sites under senior technical guidance.

• Global Product Process Support: Travel to Asia, Europe, and the Americas to provide on-site support for manufacturing technology learning, process debugging, yield improvement, and failure analysis.

• Equipment Transference Logistics: Assist in the logistics of equipment transfers between sites, tracking shipping, installation, and qualification.

• RD and Manufacturing Integration: Promote effective integration between RD and Manufacturing teams, bridging technical language and ensuring engineering decisions are applied in production.

3. CANDIDATE PROFILE

Technical Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's Degree in Production, Telecommunications, Electric, or Mechatronic Engineering.

• Experience: Minimum of 3–5 years in Product/Process Engineering in high-complexity industries.

• Professional Certification: Knowledge of PMI or ASQ frameworks (e.g., CAPM, Green Belt) is a plus.

• Global Mobility: Part of work time involves on-site visits to manufacturing and partner locations; remainder is local or remote.

• Expertise: Solid knowledge in NPI, equipment/materials management, capacity planning, and production failure analysis.

• Toolbox: Experience with PLM systems and JMP/Minitab. Technical knowledge in Python, C#, and/or LabVIEW is desirable.

Languages

• Portuguese: Native.

• English: Mandatory — Advanced/Fluent (B2/C1 level).

• Spanish: Bilingual — Desirable.

Soft Skills (Aligned with HwIT Values)

• Superar (Overcome): Resilience to resolve technical issues under pressure in remote factory environments.

• Inovar (Innovate): Drive to find creative solutions to optimize assembly lines and identify root causes with the engineering team.

• Desenvolver (Develop): Active participation in team knowledge sharing and continuous personal development in complex NPI environments.
