The Advanced Engineering Manager will lead innovation initiatives within the Upholstery Engineering division, driving the shift from traditional wood-based construction to advanced technologies such as plastic blow-molded frames, quick-connect systems, and mechanized motion components. This role is critical in designing next-generation components, leading global R&D efforts, and preparing products for scalable, mass production.

Innovation & Development:

• Lead the transition to plastic blow-molded frame technology and tool-less assembly systems.

• Drive development of new motion mechanisms and advanced material solutions.

• Co-develop innovations with the US team for global implementation.

Product & Component Design:

• Oversee design and validation of next-gen components (structural parts, fasteners, mechanisms).

• Promote modular, cost-efficient designs and explore advanced metal part manufacturing methods.

Team & Cross-Functional Leadership:

• Build and lead a high-performance engineering team.

• Align with Design, Manufacturing, Quality, and global teams (US, Vietnam, China) for seamless execution.

Process & Tool Development:

• Implement modern tools (CAD, FEA, prototyping) and set standards for assembly validation.

• Establish workflows that enable rapid innovation and design iteration.

Project Ownership:

• Manage pilot programs from concept to launch.

• Ensure targets for cost, timing, and performance are achieved.

• Track material and manufacturing trends to guide R&D strategy.

1. Education & Experience:

- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Plastics Engineering, Mechatronics, or related discipline required.

- Master’s degree preferred.

- Minimum of 8 years in product or manufacturing engineering, including 3+ years in an advanced development or leadership role.

- Proven track record in innovation, new product introduction, or cross-functional engineering projects.

2. Technical Knowledge:

- Deep understanding of blow molding, injection molding, and metal part design.

- Experience with motion mechanism development and plastic-to-metal interface solutions.

- Proficient in CAD software (SolidWorks preferred) and FEA tools.

- Knowledge of rapid prototyping methods, DFM (Design for Manufacturing), and PLM systems.

- Familiarity with global manufacturing and engineering standards.

3. Skills & Competencies:

- Strong leadership, coaching, and team development abilities.

- Excellent problem-solving, decision-making, and project management skills.

- Effective communication across technical and non-technical teams.

- Strategic mindset with attention to detail.

- Ability to drive innovation under tight timelines and manage ambiguity.

- Proactive, collaborative, and results-driven approach to engineering challenges.
