At Aquablu we design and build hardware that needs to work not just in theory but at scale in the real world. Thats where you come in. Youll be the bridge between product design and production reality. You take concepts and turn them into manufacturable scalable and cost-efficient products working directly with suppliers across Europe and Asia to make it happen. This is not a coordination role. You own the tooling the suppliers and the outcome.
What youll do
You own the full journey from design to production readiness for critical components.
Own supplier technical relationships for all production tooling (injection molds stamping dies casting tooling complex assemblies)
Take designs to suppliers and validate manufacturability coming back with clear actionable feedback on feasibility tolerances finishes and lead times
Drive design freeze decisions based on real-world validation. You sign off when parts are actually buildable
Lead FOT and sample approvals on-site at supplier locations. You decide if tooling is production-ready or needs another iteration
Build and manage a strong supply base across injection molded parts sheet metal fluid components and electronics
Own the transition from Engineering BOM to Production BOM ensuring suppliers lead times and tooling status are fully validated before production
Partner closely with Procurement. They own commercials you own technical execution and tooling success
Work hand-in-hand with Engineering to close the loop feeding supplier insights back into design until its fully manufacturable
What we build is only as good as how its made. You are the person who makes sure our products dont just look good but can actually be produced at scale with the right quality and at the right cost.
