Our client - a Russian engineering division of a European company (design and production of equipment for electrical connection assembly) for the European and Chinese automotive and auto-component industries - requires: PROJECT TECHNICAL LEAD Role – an engineer who thinks like a Project Technical Lead: sees the entire task, proposes solutions, assesses risks, plans prototypes, and assigns clear tasks to engineers for execution. A professional who can go through the entire process – from a sketch on paper to working equipment on the production floor. Project Technical Lead will: - Search for technical solutions for project tasks. - Develop project in stages: first sketches and concept, then a plan – what are the risks, what to check, how to test. - Clarify requirements with international customers (communication in English directly). - Break down the concept into tasks for engineers. - Participate in the commissioning of the designed equipment (often remotely) and support it until it reaches serial production mode. - Collect feedback after assembly and from production, and make adjustments to documentation. - Systematize knowledge about existing equipment – write instructions, assembly and testing procedures, including in English. Requirements: - Higher technical education. - Experience as a Lead/Senior Design Engineer or Project Technical Lead/Manager. - Technical foundation in mechanical processing: the specialist must understand how parts are manufactured in small and medium sizes. - Knowledge of three key technologies: Milling – understanding cutting parameters, stiffness limitations, and issues with thin-walled parts. Grinding – finishing for high precision and surface quality. Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) – material removal by electrical discharge. - Hands-on experience and equipment setup: desirable experience operating mechanical processing equipment or at least active participation in setting up complex equipment. - Experience in developing assemblies using positioning systems based on ball screws (ШВП) and servo motors. - Understanding of DfM (Design for Manufacturability) principles. - Experience conducting DFMEA and managing risks. - Ability to explain complex ideas – with a hand-drawn sketch. - Upper-Intermediate English: fluent technical communication (correspondence, discussing requirements, explaining concepts). The project lead will communicate directly with internal customers worldwide. - Knowledge of and experience with SolidWorks. - Readiness to complete a short test assignment at one of the stages. Terms & Conditions: - formal employment contract according to RF Labor Code - 9am to 6pm, hybrid or fully in-office (St Petersburg) - 3-month probation period - only candidates from St. Petersburg or Moscow will be considered - compensation of up to RUR250K net per month Send your CV to yury@consortspb.ru to get a full Job Profile @jobsIndustry @recruiter_live @psy_mybooks
