Job Description

The Opportunity

We are seeking an Optimization Engineer with a background in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering and strong analytical and programming skills. The role focuses on improving product and process efficiency through lead time reduction, material and weight optimization, design and process enhancements, labour efficiency, and chemical composition refinement. The ideal candidate will leverage CAD/CAE tools, data analytics, and optimization techniques to drive continuous improvement across engineering and manufacturing workflows

How You’ll Make An Impact

  • Analyze and streamline product development and manufacturing workflows to achieve lead time reduction, leveraging automation and digital tools to accelerate design iterations and production cycles.
  • Optimize material usage by evaluating alternative materials through simulation, testing, and cost-benefit analysis, and collaborating with suppliers and design teams to identify lightweight and sustainable options.
  • Continuously validate and improve existing algorithms in the Optimization System and streamline these algorithms.
  • Enhance product performance and manufacturability through design optimization, using CAD/CAE tools and algorithms while integrating principles of Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Excellence (DFX).
  • Identify inefficiencies and implement improvements in manufacturing and assembly lines through process optimization, supported by data analytics, process modeling, and custom software tools for monitoring and control.
  • Redesign components and assemblies to minimize weight and labor requirements, introducing ergonomic and automation solutions that improve productivity without compromising structural integrity.
  • Collaborate with materials scientists and chemists to refine chemical compositions for performance, cost-effectiveness, and environmental compliance, validating formulations through simulations and lab testing.
  • Responsible to ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.
  • Living Hitachi Energy’s core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.

Your Background

  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical/electrical engineering or a related field, with 3 to 6 years of relevant experience.
