Missions
The CTC (Chinese Tech Center) , located in Shanghai, is part of Sekurit, a market leader in automotive glazing which is part of the Saint-Gobain Group. This Tech Center supports the production teams on new development or continuous improvement of existing solutions for the 4 Sekurit Plants in China (Shanghai, Meizhou, Qingdao, Wuhan) .Following the nomination of a significant automotive project, Sekurit China will substantially enhance its industrial capabilities in polyurethane encapsulation, a process used to overmold certain types of glazing, particularly large roofs. The associated bonding systems require thorough validation. A similar initiative is also starting in Poland.
The position will focus on supporting the ramp-up of high-value canopies, aiming to improve technical performance and assist in the start-up of the new plant dedicated to these roofs. Additionally, experience will be shared with the Polish plant, where a VIE is also following the ramp-up.
The main role:
As a Development & Industrialization Engineer, you will have three main missions:
Mission 1: Support the Start-Up of a Key Project
- Maintain close contact with Europe to incorporate lessons learned from Poland;
- Follow up on production activities;
- Explore two technical possibilities: encapsulation and pre-assembly;
- Benchmark the market and existing systems with glass fixation;
- Ensure IP clearance (already in progress) ;
- Propose solutions and testing methods, particularly for bonding systems;
- Serve as a link between European and Chinese teams;
- Demonstrate autonomy in your work;
- Support audits of component suppliers, commissioning, and connect results with the central team.
You will work on encapsulation, components, and bonding solutions, but you will also have the opportunity to understand and challenge how the glass is bent, the control steps of the process, and the impact of storage and transportation. Travel within China to visit component suppliers is possible.
Extra information:
This is a 12-month mission, extendable once.
The VIE will work in the technical center, where the working hours are generally from 8: 30 AM to 5 PM. The center is closed for one week during Chinese New Year and one week in August. Occasionally, you can work from home. You will focus on encapsulation, components, and bonding solutions.
