Graduate Manufacturing Engineer

Role Summary

At ResMed, our Manufacturing Engineering team plays a critical role in transforming innovative product designs into safe, high-quality, and scalable manufacturing solutions. As a Graduate Manufacturing Engineer, you will be embedded within a Product Focus Team (PFT) and work closely with Production, Quality, and Product Development to support day-to-day manufacturing operations while driving continuous improvement initiatives.

This role is ideal for hands-on engineering graduates who are excited to learn on the shop floor, solve real manufacturing problems, and contribute ideas that improve efficiency, quality, and safety.

Let’s Talk About Responsibilities:

Product Focus Team (PFT) Support

• Provide direct engineering support to the PFT by developing a deep understanding of the manufacturing and assembly processes.

• Support production teams in troubleshooting process and equipment issues to maintain output, quality, and safety.

• Assist in activities related to process deviations, defects, or equipment challenges.

Manufacturing Process & Documentation

• Create, update, and maintain manufacturing documentation including work instructions, process flows, and validation records.

• Support process validation and verification activities in line with regulated Quality System requirements.

• Ensure manufacturing processes comply with OH&S, GMP, and quality standards.

Hands-On Process Improvement

• Actively identify opportunities to improve manual and semi-automated assembly processes.

• Contribute ideas for mechanical fixtures, jigs, tooling, and simple automation solutions to enhance ergonomics, efficiency, and repeatability.

• Participate in Lean, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement initiatives to reduce waste and improve cycle times.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Represent Manufacturing Engineering while working closely with Product Development to ensure designs are robust and manufacturable.

• Build strong working relationships with Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Engineering peers to exchange information and solve problems.

Learning & Development

• Receive guidance and mentoring from experienced manufacturing engineers.

• Gradually take on increased responsibility, progressing from routine engineering tasks to project-based contributions over time.

Let’s Talk About Qualifications:

Required

• Mechanical aptitude with bachelor's degree in engineering or related discipline.

Preferred

• Strong interest in hands-on manufacturing and shop-floor work.

• Exposure to final product assembly environments (internships or projects).

• Basic knowledge of Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma principles.

• Familiarity with mechanical design concepts, fixtures, or automation ideas.

• Interest or exposure to collaborative robotics, process validation, or data analytics.

• Comfortable working in a regulated manufacturing or quality-focused environment.

Why Join ResMed?

• Real Impact Early: Work directly on live manufacturing lines, not just theoretical projects.

• Strong Mentorship: Learn from experienced engineers in a supportive PFT environment.

• Hands-On Engineering: Apply mechanical and manufacturing principles to solve practical problems.

• Career Growth: Build a strong foundation for a long-term engineering career within a global medtech organization.

• Purpose-Driven Work: Contribute to products that improve the lives of millions worldwide.
