HSP US: Building the Future of Energy

At HSP US, we're looking for motivated, goal-oriented engineering professionals who want to grow their careers while contributing to high-impact work in the energy sector. If you're energized by technical problem-solving, customer collaboration, and creating tailored engineering solutions, this role is for you. As a fast-growing operation, we are building state-of-the-art production capabilities, cutting-edge processes, and a high-performance culture centered around quality, safety, and innovation. Joining our team means being part of a once-in-a-generation start-up environment where you help lay the foundation for operational excellence for years to come.

What We Are Looking For!

Industrial Engineering & Work Planning

  • Design and implementation of production workstations in accordance with lean principles.
  • Development and maintenance of assembly and production routings for new products and product variants based on bills of materials and technical drawings.
  • Conducting manufacturability, feasibility, and process capability analyses considering technical, ergonomic, and organizational constraints.
  • Creation, validation, and continuous improvement of standardized work instructions for manufacturing and assembly processes.
  • Coordination and implementation of engineering changes affecting parts, processes, and layouts in collaboration with relevant functions.
  • Support of pilot builds, ramp‑up phases, and industrialization activities, including root cause analysis of deviations.
  • Direct shop floor support to resolve process deviations and ensure stable production processes.
  • Continuous optimization and update of work plans and process documentation based on change management and improvement initiatives.
  • Maintenance of process and work planning data within relevant production and documentation systems.

Layout, Tooling & Ergonomics (Lean Work Design)

  • Design and development of tools, fixtures, and aids to support ergonomically optimized and waste‑free workstations
  • Participation in the selection, procurement, and commissioning of production equipment and tools, including supplier coordination.
  • Identification of ergonomic risks and development of corrective measures aligned with ergonomic and occupational standards.
  • Support of standardized workstation design and lean layout concepts.

Time Management & Standard Data

  • Planning, execution, and evaluation of time studies in accordance with defined industrial engineering and industrial standards.
  • Analysis, documentation, and validation of standard times and process data.
  • Coordination and alignment of time study results with technical departments and employee representatives.
  • Identification of deviations between target and actual times and derivation of improvement actions.
  • Integration of validated standard time data into production planning and control systems.

Continuous Improvement & Projects

  • Participation in continuous improvement and process optimization initiatives (Lean, Operational Excellence, EHS).
  • Contribution to cross‑functional industrial engineering and improvement projects.
  • Support of additional time studies and process analyses as required.

What You Will Bring!
