You as Engineer II, Mfg will develop, optimize, validate, and sustain molding, automation, and extrusion manufacturing processes within a regulated environment. This hands-on role provides direct technical support to manufacturing operations. It leads continuous improvement initiatives, supports product transfers and process validations, and ensures successful implementation, improvement, and long-term sustainability of highly automated equipment, tooling, and systems. The Manufacturing Engineer works closely with Operations, Quality, Maintenance, and Product Development to deliver robust, scalable, compliant, and cost-effective manufacturing solutions that ensure product quality, operational excellence, and reliable capability, and reports to the Associate Director of Manufacturing.
Job Responsibility
Develop, implement and be responsible for the continuous improvement of molding, extrusion and automation processes, through the integration and optimization of robotics, vision systems, PLCs, equipment, tools, resins and electromechanical systems, providing technical support and applying analysis and solving methodologies, in order to minimize downtime, improve reliability and ensure compliance with safety objectives, quality, delivery and cost, as well as the stability, repeatability and capacity of the processes
Promote Lean Manufacturing and Operational Excellence (Opex) initiatives, such as Kaizen, standardized work, Kanban systems, mini-cells and production leveling (Heijunka), to improve flow and efficiency
Be responsible for the development and optimization of manufacturing processes, by identifying, analyzing, and solving problems in processes, equipment, materials, and automation systems, applying principles of scientific molding, Build of Experiments (BOE), Statistical Process Control (SPC), and structured problem-solving methodologies, so as to guarantee operational stability, improve production performance, and maintain alignment with quality objectives, efficiency and productivity
Drive yield improvement and reduce material usage variability (MUV) by analyzing data
Identify and eliminate waste and rework
Reduce downtime and apply continuous improvement and process control techniques
This will optimize Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) and improve operational effectiveness and process profitability
Own the specification, acquisition, installation and commissioning of automation systems for molding processes, through the definition of technical requirements, coordination with suppliers, the integration of robotics, vision systems, conveyors and digital interfaces (MES), and the validation of performance in operation, in order to ensure robust, efficient solutions aligned with production needs
Diagnose and resolve faults in automation systems, including hardware, control systems, PLC logic, and electromechanical systems, through technical analysis, test execution, and the application of structured troubleshooting methodologies, in order to minimize downtime and improve operational reliability
Implement automation enhancements to respond to capacity expansion and obsolescence needs, as well as plan and complete IQ/OQ/PQ validation activities for new or modified molding equipment and processes, in compliance with GMP, FDA, ISO 13485, and internal quality systems
Participate in analyzing process risks by accomplishing PFMEA, risk assessments, CAPA, and deviation investigations
Ensure corrective actions are timely and effective
Monitor process capacity metrics (Cp/Cpk) to maintain stability, regulatory compliance, and process performance
Develop and handle manufacturing documentation such as SOPs, work instructions, control plans, specifications, and technical reports
Ensure these documents are accurately prepared and updated by standardizing formats and reviewing them periodically
Follow quality management systems to guarantee traceability, operational consistency, and regulatory compliance
Collaborate optimally with Production, Quality, Maintenance, R&D, and Supply Chain team—Maintain continuous communication, align objectives, and join initiatives to achieve business goals and improve operational efficiency
