  • Managing and ensuring LED Technology and associated product developments are delivered to specification, on-time, and on-budget. This includes problem solving, managing departmental KPIs and the running and continuous improvement of our design and prototype manufacturing processes.
  • Working closely with our manufacturing partners to ensure products are designed for cost-effective and efficient volume manufacture. Periodic supplier and customer visits (foreign and domestic) will be required to ensure alignment between design and manufacture is maintained and improved.

Why work for us?


At Forge we’re very good at designing, manufacturing, and delivering cutting edge LED solutions in a vast range of industries and markets. But we’re also really good at caring about the environment and our people.

 

We are looking for an enthusiastic Technical Design Manager to join our team, where we have a great working atmosphere with regular social events.
