About the Role
In the Purchasing division at IKEA, we operate within categories defined by the materials and functionalities of our products. Each category encompasses a collection of items that share similar materials, manufacturing methods, and supplier networks.
Each category is overseen by a Category Manager and comprises several Business Development teams located globally, ensuring close collaboration with our suppliers, alongside global functional experts (such as Engineering and Quality Leaders).
The primary objective for the category is to guide Purchasing efforts according to a unified agenda outlined in a comprehensive business plan.
To leverage IKEA's economies of scale and expertise, we formulate and implement sourcing strategies that effectively engage with supply markets and industries across categories.
Key Responsibilities
As a Product Engineer, you will undertake a range of responsibilities, including:
- Engaging and coordinating the appropriate resources in Purchasing to ensure that product development projects (both new and existing) of medium to high complexity are completed on schedule and to the required quality standards.
- Leading product development initiatives on the factory floor from a technical standpoint, ensuring scalability for implementation across additional suppliers.
- Participating in Contract Reviews and overseeing the implementation of product documentation related to new items and product enhancements.
- Ensuring that products meet the necessary quality standards as per IKEA documentation (including packaging and performance testing) and comply with relevant standards, requirements, and guidelines.
- Collaborating with suppliers and Product Compliance specialists to verify that all IKEA requirement documents are accurate, complete, and accessible in the IT system upon initial delivery.
- Contributing to development projects from a technical perspective, utilizing expertise in construction, materials, production, quality, and customer expectations.
- Proactively identifying, proposing, and executing product improvements, prioritizing customer satisfaction and efficient use of materials and energy.
- Conducting Production Risk Assessments for new products in conjunction with production engineers.
- Registering products and arranging for Gate checks prior to the first delivery.
- Ensuring that the first batch production and initial delivery inspections are completed and approved.
Qualifications
We seek individuals with substantial knowledge and experience in new product introductions, production processes, and technologies. Proven expertise in supplier management and project management is essential, along with the ability to assess suppliers' technical and quality performance in product manufacturing. A genuine interest in understanding production realities and driving continuous improvements is crucial.
Candidates should possess strong decision-making and problem-solving skills with a holistic perspective. A high-energy, self-motivated approach to work is vital for delivering superior products for a wide audience through collaboration with suppliers and colleagues at IKEA. A background in engineering, quality assurance, and product/production development is preferred.
