- Support process validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) for new equipment, tooling, and process changes.
- Evaluate and recommend fixture, tooling, and workholding improvements to improve quality and throughput.
Automation & Capital Improvement Projects
- Evaluate, justify, and lead implementation of automation projects including robotic machine tending, automated inspection, and lights-out manufacturing capability.
- Develop business cases and ROI analyses for capital equipment and automation investments.
- Own project management for automation deployments — vendor evaluation, installation, validation, and production handoff.
- Collaborate with equipment vendors and integrators to define requirements, review designs, and manage timelines.
- Identify opportunities to reduce manual handling, improve repeatability, and increase throughput through technology adoption.
Supplier Quality Support
- Support incoming material inspections and supplier nonconformance resolution.
- Assist with supplier qualification, audits, and performance monitoring as needed.
- Collaborate with supply chain on supplier corrective action requests (SCARs).
Data Analysis & Reporting
- Build and maintain Power BI dashboards to track quality metrics, NCR trends, CAPA status, scrap rates, and process capability.
- Use AI tools (Claude, etc.) to accelerate document drafting, data analysis, investigation summaries, and reporting workflows.
- Present data-driven improvement recommendations to leadership with clear ROI justification.
Qualifications
Required
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related discipline.
- 2–3 years of engineering experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably medical device or aerospace.
- Working knowledge of ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820, or equivalent regulated quality management systems.
- Demonstrated experience with NCR/CAPA investigation and root cause analysis methodologies.
- Proficiency with data visualization tools (Power BI preferred) and Microsoft Office Suite.
- Comfort with AI-assisted workflows — experience using LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT) and a willingness to push the boundaries of how AI tools can be applied in a manufacturing/quality context.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to write clear, audit-ready documentation.
Preferred
- Experience in CNC machining or precision manufacturing environments.
- Familiarity with GD&T, CMM inspection, and metrology fundamentals.
- Exposure to lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, or structured CI methodologies (certification not required).
- Experience with ERP/MES/QMS platforms (e.g., Business Central, 1Factory, Greenlight Guru, MachineMetrics, or similar).
- Exposure to industrial automation, robotics, or machine tending systems (collaborative robots, automated loading/unloading, vision systems).
- SPC/statistical analysis experience (Minitab, JMP, or equivalent).
What We Offer
- A high-trust, low-bureaucracy environment where your work has direct, visible impact on the business.
- Exposure to cutting-edge manufacturing technology and AI-driven workflows — this is not a traditional shop floor.
- A facility built 100% digital from day one — fully integrated ERP, QMS, MES, and machine monitoring systems.
- Ownership and autonomy from day one — we hire smart people and get out of their way.
- Competitive compensation, benefits, and growth opportunity in a rapidly evolving organization.
