Manufacturing Engineer III

• ◆Support the transfer of new products and processes from Process Development into Production, ensuring manufacturing readiness, quality awareness, and product integrity during NPI and early production phases.
• ◆Introduce and establish manufacturing processes for Nitinol-based medical device components, including laser cutting, shape setting, electropolishing, and inspection operations.
• ◆Execute and support process validation activities including IQs, OQs, PQs, and Test Method Validations (TMVs).
• ◆Review, generate, and maintain process documentation including Work Instructions (WIs), routers, and supporting documentation to ensure alignment with process intent.
• ◆Assist in establishing initial job cost baselines, cycle times, and ERP standards for new products and processes.
• ◆Apply structured root cause analysis methodologies, including DMAIC, to investigate NPI issues, early yield losses, dimensional variation, and process instability.
• ◆Utilize statistical tools and techniques such as Design of Experiments (DOE), process capability analysis (Cp, Cpk), ANOVA, regression analysis, and hypothesis testing to identify key drivers of variation and support data-based decisions.
• ◆Support early production process optimization efforts including setup reduction, yield improvement, operator training, and process stability enhancements.
• ◆Provide hands-on technical support during equipment setup, troubleshooting, and qualification activities.
• ◆Collaborate with Quality and Production teams to support resolution of early-phase NCMRs, deviations, and process risks.
• ◆Lead assigned NPI and process-related projects by defining scope, tracking actions and milestones, managing risks, and providing clear, data-driven status updates to stakeholders.
• ◆Serve as a technical point of contact for internal stakeholders and, as needed, customers during NPI and continuation engineering activities.
