Why This Role Matters

This role is at the heart of how ideas become high-quality, reliable products - your work will directly shape what leaves the plant and reaches customers. You'll help build a "no defect passed forward" culture, where care, precision, and collaboration truly matter. By improving processes and materials, you'll contribute to a more sustainable, efficient, and future-ready production environment. Most importantly, you'll be part of a team where your voice, perspective, and expertise help drive meaningful change every day.

What You'll Do

• Lead and support improvements in process capability within the Mixing & Preparation area
• Implement and industrialize new products, processes, and material solutions
• Optimize formulations and drive material design initiatives, including second-source raw materials
• Troubleshoot quality and technical challenges with a proactive, solution-oriented mindset
• Strengthen product quality, reduce waste, and enhance continuous improvement systems
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional partners (People Leader, Process & Reliability Specialists) to deliver team KPIs
• Partner with QTECH and Regional Purchasing to address material availability and quality topics.

What We're Looking For

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Polymer/Material Science.
• 3+ years of experience in manufacturing, ideally within plant quality or technology environments.
• Background in continuous improvement, Lean, Six Sigma, or plant optimization approaches.
• Strong analytical thinking and confidence in problem-solving in complex environments.
• Comfort working both independently and collaboratively in diverse, multicultural teams.
• Fluent English and French (German or Luxembourgish is a plus; Portuguese welcome).
• Solid digital skills (MS Office, especially Excel/VBA; knowledge of tools like Minitab is an advantage).

Note: We welcome applicants from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Even if you don't meet every listed qualification, we encourage you to apply.
