**About The PAC Group**:
At The PAC Group (PAC), we specialize in engineering consulting, program management, and operational excellence, delivering high-impact solutions in more than 20 countries.
For more than 41 years, we have partnered with leading companies across the automotive, aerospace, industrial, and technology sectors, providing strategic guidance and hands-on execution that drive innovation and efficiency.
Whether launching advanced manufacturing systems, deploying digital simulation tools, or scaling global operations, PAC thrives at the intersection of technology, engineering, and problem-solving.
Joining PAC means joining a dynamic, fast-paced, general team that values curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
**Role Purpose**:
PAC is supporting a client launching an electric drive unit manufacturing line in Saudi Arabia involving the e-motor and inverter through integrated e-drive assembly and end-of-line testing.
The line will supply a vehicle assembly plant.
The role covers equipment installation and commissioning, process qualification, run-at-rate, PPAP, Start of Production (SOP), and ramp-up to full-volume production.
We are recruiting several Process Engineers.
Depending on your background, you will take deep ownership of one process area—stator, rotor, motor assembly and test, gearbox, or inverter and power electronics—or work as a cross-process generalist owning an end-to-end value stream.
**Key Responsibilities**:
- Own the process definition for your assigned perimeter,



including process flow, cycle-time allocation, parameter windows, control plans, PFMEA, work instructions, and change control from installation through stable-rate production.
- Lead equipment commissioning, SAT, process capability studies, and qualification runs; define and execute DOE activities to establish initial parameter windows.
- Deliver APQP and PPAP requirements for your assigned area.
- Engineer to takt by balancing stations and eliminating bottlenecks and micro-stops.
- Drive the production ramp curve by converting scrap, rework, first-pass yield, and downtime data into a prioritized improvement backlog and closing gaps to full-rate production.
- Act as the first-line technical escalation point for production, leading structured problem-solving methodologies including 8D, 5-Why, Ishikawa, and Shainin.
- Make containment decisions in partnership with Production and Quality.
- Design and validate error-proofing, including poka-yoke, in-line verification, torque and force-displacement monitoring, and part traceability.
- Build the process data foundation through SPC on critical characteristics, MES and traceability systems, and statistical monitoring.
- Support customer and supplier interfaces, including sequenced JIT/JIS delivery requirements, customer-specific requirements, supplier PPAP for incoming components, and problem-solving with equipment and component suppliers.




- Contribute to safety and compliance activities involving high-voltage work practices, permanent magnet handling, press and laser safety, chemical and adhesive handling, ergonomics, and EHS risk assessments.
- Train and coach production technicians and operators on process fundamentals, critical parameters, troubleshooting, and reaction plans.
**Required Qualifications**:
- MSc or equivalent engineering degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronic, Manufacturing, Materials, Industrial Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Minimum of **5-10 years of process engineering experience** in high-volume manufacturing, ideally within automotive powertrain/components, electric motors, electronics, or comparable takt-driven assembly environments.
- Hands-on production-floor experience with direct ownership of a manufacturing process at rate—not solely process design or engineering experience.
- Strong working knowledge of takt-based manufacturing, including cycle-time analysis, line balancing, OEE, bottleneck analysis, and downtime reduction.
- Practical experience using statistical tools including SPC, DOE, MSA/Gage R&R;, and capability analysis with tools such as Minitab, JMP, Python, or R.
- Strong command of automotive quality methodologies, including PFMEA, control plans, 8D, root-cause analysis, APQP, and PPAP.
- Ability to work effectively with manufacturing data from MES, SCADA, historians, traceability systems, and test databases.
- Strong written and verbal English communication skills and the ability to confidently defend technical positions with management, customers, and suppliers.
- **Ability and willingness to relocate to Saudi Arabia and reside in KSA for the full project duration, anticipated from September **** through December ****.
