LMB Soft is looking for a proactive and technically strong Process Development Engineer who will play a key role in developing, standardizing, and optimizing manufacturing processes.

This is a newly created function within the company, offering a unique opportunity to independently establish and build the entire process engineering framework — including methodologies, standards, documentation structure, and cross-departmental communication.

The role serves as a critical link between R&D and Production, ensuring that products are designed and industrialized in a way that enables efficient, reliable, and consistent manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities

• Establishing and developing the process engineering function, including structure, workflows, and methodologies
• Developing new manufacturing processes for new products and components
• Analyzing existing production processes to identify bottlenecks, quality deviations, and cost drivers
• Proposing and implementing improvements to reduce cycle time, minimize waste, and increase process stability
• Actively participating in early product development phases to ensure manufacturability
• Supporting prototype builds and pilot production
• Collaborating closely with R&D, Technology, Production, and Assembly teams
• Defining requirements for new tools, machines, and production equipment
• Participating in installation, commissioning, and optimization of new equipment
• Improving existing machines and tools (e.g. welding machines, assembly stations)
• Monitoring and analyzing key process indicators (cycle time, utilization, scrap, downtime)
• Initiating and leading continuous improvement activities
• Preparing technical analyses, reports, and recommendations for management
• Creating and maintaining process documentation, work instructions, and process flow diagrams
