Technology Transfer Engineer

Accountabilities:

• Lead technology transfer projects from concept validation through successful implementation and ramp-up in full-scale production environments.
• Develop and execute comprehensive technology transfer plans, including project timelines, resources, milestones, dependencies, risk mitigation, and implementation activities.
• Coordinate closely with R&D, engineering, manufacturing, quality, operations, and external stakeholders to ensure effective transfer of technical knowledge and processes.
• Translate technical findings and development outcomes into clear manufacturing specifications, documentation, procedures, and actionable production requirements.
• Support the development, optimization, and adjustment of manufacturing processes to improve product quality, efficiency, scalability, and operational reliability.
• Identify critical technical process parameters and implement controls or improvements designed to reduce manufacturing defects and meet stringent quality requirements.
• Provide technical training and ongoing support to operators and production teams when introducing new machinery, technologies, processes, or updated standard operating procedures.
• Identify technical and operational challenges throughout implementation, develop practical solutions, and proactively address risks that could affect production or project outcomes.
• Collaborate with legal and business stakeholders on intellectual property protection, licensing activities, technology partnerships, and related initiatives.
• Support international process benchmarking and documentation activities, including overseas travel when required.
• Maintain compliance with applicable internal and external regulations, technical standards, product safety requirements, environmental requirements, and occupational health and safety policies.
• Lead or participate in routine safety activities, including toolbox talks, and verify that appropriate personal protective equipment and safety practices are in place.
• Manage multiple technology transfer initiatives simultaneously, using structured project management methods to maintain priorities, timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder alignment.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and help establish repeatable processes that strengthen technology adoption, manufacturing performance, and operational excellence.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, such as Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Materials Science, or a related technical discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of professional experience in technology transfer, R&D, process engineering, manufacturing engineering, or a closely related field.
• Demonstrated experience successfully transferring complex technologies, processes, or products from development environments into production operations.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, product development, quality systems, process optimization, and continuous improvement methodologies.
• Practical knowledge of critical process parameters and their application to defect prevention, manufacturing consistency, and quality assurance.
• Experience developing and delivering operator training when introducing new equipment, manufacturing processes, technologies, or revised standard operating procedures.
• Strong project management capabilities, including the ability to manage multiple projects, coordinate resources, track milestones, mitigate risks, and deliver against deadlines.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to engineering, manufacturing, operational, and business audiences.
• Ability to work collaboratively across functions while also operating independently and taking ownership of technology transfer activities.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a structured approach to identifying root causes and implementing effective solutions.
• Familiarity with dry transformer manufacturing, processes, and technology is a plus.
• Knowledge of SAP, particularly the PP (Production Planning) module, is a plus.
• Understanding of international product safety and technical quality standards is advantageous.
• Ability and willingness to travel internationally for process benchmarking, technical documentation, and technology transfer activities.
• Commitment to environmental, health, occupational safety, regulatory, and internal compliance requirements.

Benefits:

• Opportunity to work on technology transfer initiatives that connect engineering innovation with real-world manufacturing and sustainable energy solutions.
• Hybrid working environment, with the primary U.S. location in Raleigh, North Carolina; the role may also support teams in Texas and international locations.
• Exposure to international projects, teams, manufacturing operations, and technology benchmarking activities.
• Opportunities for continuous learning, professional development, and career growth within a global technology environment.
• Collaboration with multidisciplinary teams across engineering, R&D, manufacturing, quality, operations, legal, and business functions.
• Opportunities to contribute to continuous improvement, operational excellence, and innovative manufacturing solutions.
• Inclusive workplace culture focused on collaboration, diverse perspectives, employee development, and well-being.
• Equal employment opportunity and reasonable accommodations available to qualified individuals with disabilities.
