Job Summary
Summary:
The main function of a manufacturing engineer is to apply engineering theory and principles to problems of industrial layout or manufacturing production. A typical manufacturing engineer has the ability to make engineering drawings and read and interpret blueprints.
The main function of a manufacturing engineer is to apply engineering theory and principles to problems of industrial layout or manufacturing production. A typical manufacturing engineer has the ability to make engineering drawings and read and interpret blueprints.
The core work is to review product routers and associated drawings/requirements and translate them into standardized Inspection Process Instructions (IPI) in an Excel-based router format on the JD Edward. Success will be measured primarily by throughput against a defined workload and timeline. The group aligned on desired candidate profile (independent project-leading strong common-sense interpretation of requirements GDP/documentation discipline) interview process (one interview maximum two) and near-term logistics with multiple staffing suppliers.
Candidate requirements (senior level definition; regulated environment expectations):
Regulated industry experience (medical devices/biotech/pharma) is preferred but not strictly required.
Candidate should understand GDP (Good Documentation Practices) including correct redlining/initialing/dating corrections.
Specific regulatory standards (FDA/ISO/GMP) are explicitly stated as not required.
Senior-level expectation: ability to work independently; demonstrated experience leading projects from start to finish (not only supporting); ability to troubleshoot and handle black or white documentation/interpretation situations.

Emphasis repeated on common sense and practical interpretation as a differentiator.
Conclusion: Target is a senior independent end-to-end project lead with strong documentation discipline (GDP) while formal regulatory/standard expertise is not mandatory.

Skills:
Creativity verbal and written communication skills analytical and problem-solving ability.
Team player and detail oriented.
Ability to make sketches engineering drawings and common computations.
Ability to read and interpret blueprints technical drawing schematics and computer-generated reports.
Previous experience with computer applications and software related to engineering field such as Computer Aided Design (CAD).

The real competency risk is requirements interpretation not template execution:
The template-driven IPI creation is presented as straightforward; errors are more likely to come from misreading routers/drawings/requirements.
Practical suggestion: Screen candidates using a short work-sample exercise that tests translating a sample router drawing notes into an IPI step set (to directly assess common sense interpretation).
