Your unique talents will help patients on their journey to wellness. Learn more at Senior Industrial Engineer will lead and implement manufacturing systems process improvement capacity and layout design initiatives across NPI and sustaining operations for electro-mechanical and robotic medical device assembly. This role acts as a technical lead and change agent partnering with Manufacturing Design Quality Supply Chain and Supplier teams to define and deploy robust compliant and efficient production systems. Responsibilities include process design and validation labor/capacity modeling value stream optimization line balancing cost reduction and mentoring junior engineers. The role requires strong application of Lean and Six Sigma methods data-driven decision making and alignment to medical device regulatory requirements (e.g. GMP ISO 13485).

In this role you will

• Lead end-to-end industrial engineering activities for NPI and sustaining product lines including process design factory/line layout work cell design and production flow.
• Develop takt time cycle time and staffing models; create labor standards and line balancing to meet production volume and quality targets.
• Design and qualify manufacturing and test processes fixtures tooling and automation concepts in collaboration with manufacturing and design engineering.
• Create and implement process characterization design of experiments (DOE) process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) and test method validation (TMV) protocols and reports.
• Drive continuous improvement projects (cost quality lead time) using Lean Kaizen and Six Sigma methodologies; quantify and realize cost and productivity benefits.
• Apply industrial engineering methods (time studies motion studies value stream mapping simulation) to optimize throughput ergonomics and safety.
• Establish and monitor key manufacturing metrics (yield OEE throughput scrap) and apply SPC to control and improve processes.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation (work instructions process control plans PFMEA ECOs DHRs MPIs) that meet internal and regulatory expectations.
• Coach and mentor junior industrial/manufacturing engineers; influence multi-functional teams and suppliers to deliver on schedule and quality.
• Support risk assessments and statistical analyses to inform design-for-manufacturing decisions and product launch readiness.
• Collaborate with IT/automation teams to integrate MES/ERP/PLM systems and support data collection for process improvement.

Qualifications:

Education:

• Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering Manufacturing Engineering or a related technical field required.
• Masters degree in Industrial/Manufacturing Engineering or related field preferred.

Experience and Skills:

Required:

• 6 years of industrial/manufacturing engineering experience in a high-mix regulated manufacturing environment (medical device automotive electronics or similar).
• Demonstrated expertise in line balancing capacity planning takt/cycle time analysis work measurement and labor standards.
• Strong experience leading process development and validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ) DOE and process characterization.
• Consistent record driving Lean and continuous improvement initiatives; familiarity with Kaizen 5S SMED.
• Proficiency in statistical methods and tools (SPC capability analysis hypothesis testing); experience with Minitab JMP or equivalent.
• Experience authoring and maintaining PFMEA process control plans work instructions and manufacturing documentation.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings schematics and BOMs.
• Strong problem-solving skills with experience in root cause analysis tools (5 Whys Fishbone 8D).
• Effective written and verbal communication skills; proven ability to influence multi-functional collaborators.
• Experience with CAD for basic layout and tooling concepting (e.g. SolidWorks AutoCAD) and familiarity with manufacturing simulation tools (e.g. Arena FlexSim) is preferred.
• Familiarity with electrical test equipment and electro-mechanical assemblies is a plus.

Preferred

• Experience in medical device quality systems and regulatory environments (21 CFR Part 820 ISO 13485 GMP).
• Six Sigma certification (Green/Black Belt) or equivalent continuous improvement certification.
• Experience integrating automation/robotics into production lines and working with control engineers.
• Experience using simulation software such as FlexSim or Simio to drive optimization and improvement initiatives
• Experience with PLM/ERP/MES systems (e.g. Oracle Agile SAP Siemens Opcenter) and basic data scripting (Python SQL) to support analytics and automation.
