Technical Manager for Technical Cleanliness

Cleanliness is becoming increasingly important. It can affect the performance, durability and lifespan of our products. As our products contain more advanced technical systems it also becomes more sensitive to inbuild residual or foreign particles during all steps from logistics to production. If not properly handled it can also lead to an unnecessary high cost due to too high level of cleanliness. So far a few dedicated experts has dealt with this for the combustion engine but there is an increasing demand for developing electro mobility, cooling systems etc. It was therefore decided that R&D would employ a Technical Manager for Cleanliness coordinating demands and compliances on the right levels necessary for our product.
