Engineer - Process Engineering

Duties and responsibilities

• Provide technical support to production operations by addressing process-related and technical issues on the production line to ensure smooth and efficient manufacturing activities.
• Perform troubleshooting and root cause analysis to resolve quality issues arising during the production of general surgical instruments, ensuring compliance with quality standards and product specifications.
• Apply established engineering principles to determine, develop, and optimize manufacturing processes and assembly sequences that meet organizational standards for quality, productivity, cost, and safety.
• Analyze product specifications, engineering drawings, and technical data to develop production processes, estimate process cycle times, prepare operation sheets, and support new product or process implementation.
• Create, review, update, and maintain manufacturing guidelines, work instructions, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and other process documentation to ensure standardized execution by production operators.
• Evaluate existing manufacturing processes and recommend improvements to working methods, process flows, and operation sequences to minimize risks, reduce costs and wastage, improve yields and productivity, and enhance product quality and consistency.
• Drive continuous improvement and process optimization initiatives through data analysis, problem-solving methodologies, and implementation of effective engineering solutions.
• For more senior-level positions, develop innovative engineering solutions and new approaches to manufacturing challenges to improve operational efficiency, product quality, and overall production performance.
• Collaborate closely with Production, Quality Assurance, and other cross-functional teams to support manufacturing objectives, process validations, and corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
• Perform any other duties and responsibilities as assigned by the Supervisor or Management from time to time.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or Science, preferably in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related disciplines.
