Identify, prioritize, and implement process optimization opportunities using structured problem-solving methodologies, statistical analysis, Lean Manufacturing, and continuous improvement principles.
Serve as a technical leader and subject matter expert for manufacturing processes, equipment, and associated technologies.
Partner with Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Maintenance, and other cross-functional teams to improve manufacturing performance and achieve business objectives.
Technical Problem Solving & Compliance
Lead investigations and resolution of complex manufacturing, quality, and compliance issues, including CAPAs, nonconformances, audit observations, process deviations, and customer-impacting events.
Apply statistical techniques and data-driven decision-making to evaluate process performance, identify root causes, and implement effective corrective and preventive actions.
Support regulatory inspections, internal audits, and compliance initiatives as a manufacturing technical expert.
Validation, Equipment & Technology Implementation
Design and execute engineering studies, experiments, process validations, and equipment qualifications.
Develop and execute protocols, analyze results, prepare technical reports, and recommend implementation strategies based on data and risk assessment.
Support the introduction and integration of new products, equipment, manufacturing technologies, and process improvements while ensuring compliance, manufacturability, and operational readiness.
Ensure manufacturing equipment, tooling, fixtures, and processes meet applicable safety, quality, performance, and regulatory requirements.
Technical Leadership & Project Execution
Lead cross-functional projects from concept through implementation using project management tools, risk assessments, and structured execution plans.
Influence engineers, technicians, operations personnel, and business partners to achieve project objectives without direct authority.
Mentor engineers and technicians in engineering best practices, manufacturing process control, data analysis, and structured problem solving.
Provide technical direction and training to technicians supporting manufacturing operations and engineering studies.
Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation, work instructions, procedures, training materials, and engineering records.
Education & Experience
Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering or a scientific field with 4+ years of industry or combined industry/education experience; or
Master’s Degree or equivalent in Engineering or a scientific field with 3+ years of industry or combined industry/education experience; or
Ph.D. or equivalent in Engineering or a scientific field with relevant industry or combined industry/education experience.
Required Qualifications
Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver results in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Demonstrated ability to work independently and exercise sound engineering judgment.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including Excel, PowerPoint, and Project.
Knowledge of applicable FDA regulations and quality system requirements.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in FDA-regulated manufacturing environments, preferably within medical device manufacturing.
Experience with CAPA systems, nonconformance investigations, audit support, change control, and risk management.
Experience applying Design of Experiments (DOE), Statistical Process Control (SPC), process capability analysis, and hypothesis testing.
Experience supporting process validation and equipment qualification activities.
Experience leading cross-functional manufacturing improvement projects with measurable business impact.
Experience supporting new product transfers, equipment implementation, or manufacturing technology integration.
Experience working with complex manufacturing equipment and automated production systems.
