- Manufacturing
- Quality
- Maintenance
- Evaluates risks, quantifies/estimates impact, and sets expectations for global corporate teams.
- Has the ability to manage engineering resources to define, monitor, and complete activities according to the needs of the organization or project.
- Directs, guides, and develops requirements for global corporate teams to ensure business goals are met.
- Conducts root cause analysis through observation and analysis of physical and chemical phenomena intrinsic to the process to theorize, test, and quantitatively measure their effects.
- Designs experiments and test methods to evaluate the feasibility of a change point in the production environment.
- Designs scalable processes focused on productivity and quality, minimizing dependence on manual processes prone to failure.
- Effectively and quantitatively communicates and provides feedback on any development element intended to be incorporated into the production environment.
- Evaluates advanced 3D printing technology, CNC, as well as complex hardware and software subsystems integrated into the raw material transformation process.
- Establishes operational ranges and process limits using statistical control methodologies to ensure process stability and scalability, as well as product conformity within established ranges.
- Validates and documents change points in compliance with ISO 13485 prior to their implementation in the production environment.
- Interacts with local manufacturing teams:
- Establishing and monitoring "Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)" during the early stages of implementing a change point.
- Providing support and making design adjustments during the early stages of implementing change points.
- Providing support for conducting investigations and root cause analysis of internal problems and/or customer complaints reported in the field.
- Providing consultancy and guidance on local Engineering projects to ensure proper risk assessment, integration, and interaction with the process.
- Use project management methodologies (Preferably AGILE/SCRUM) to:
- Determine scope
- Generate financial impact modeling
- Identify and break down the timeline of activities
- Ensure necessary resources
- Ensure compliance with activities
Skills, Knowledge & Expertise :
