WELCOMING YOU TO THE TEAM

The Extrusion Process Project Leader acts as a Subject Matter Expert in extrusion processes. You are the key partner of the R&D and process teams in plants to develop and deploy the most competitive extrusion processes.
You are the guardian of the rules: you formalize the know-how and design rules related to the extrusion technologies (tooling, machines specifications, process conditions, best practices) and identify the best partners/suppliers in this field.
You also spread the knowledge through training programs in plants and are one the go to persons in the field to solve extrusion issues.

GETTING A FLYING START

In close collaboration with the Product Development team, the Extrusion Project Leader defines the best process conditions needed to deliver the expected product.

Areas of responsibilities:

New product development/RTC/RTM:

Develop through simulations adapted toolings such as tip/die/screws/barrels/crosshead, define the best extrusion process conditions.
Develop and carry out in partnership with the teams involved detailed extrusion trials program either in Lyon using local extrusion pilot lines or in plants.
Consolidate the testing conditions and learnings through detailed reports.
Contribute to the manufacturing of cable prototypes in the context of POC/MVP.

Process standardization/scale-up and industrial phase:

Establish equipment and process “standards” that have to be applied in plants when deploying the technology.
Participate to the product development scale-up and industrialization phase in the plants to fine tune the process conditions for the whole cable range.

Industrial investment processes/extrusion line audits:

Is in charge with the plant involved to define the detailed requirements specific to extrusion equipment, this includes attendance to commissioning phases, specific tests.
Participate to audits to assess existing extrusion lines in plants to define possible improvement action plans/identification of risks

HOW YOU MAKE AN IMPACT

Aptitude for mastering the technical aspects of manufacturing and the production apparatus
Aptitude for project management
Knowledge in cable industry, extrusion tooling or machine design, simulations is a plus

YOUR STARTING POINTS WHEN YOU JOIN

Engineering degree/PhD in material science/polymers or relevant industrial experience (cable industry, extrusion equipment supplier)
Knowledge in polymer science and/or extrusion processes
Knowledge in finite element analysis, simulation tools (Compuplast, Solidworks)
Fluency in French-English
