Assist with new and existing manufacturing lines, product and equipment launches, production-data evaluation, and documentation of findings to support manufacturing changes.

Responsibilities

• Follow engineering direction to perform hands-on evaluation, repair, rework, and modification of electromechanical assemblies and components in accordance with approved procedures and quality standards.
• Execute engineering test plans created by the manufacturing engineering team; collect data to support product verification, process validation, root-cause investigations, and process improvements.
• Work closely with production lines to understand manufacturing processes, materials, and equipment for effective troubleshooting and continuous improvement of production issues.
• Assist the manufacturing engineering team with product and process development activities, including engineering builds, new product introductions, and manufacturing transfers.
• Write and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs) and assist with training Production Operators and Technicians on SOPs.
• Support process validation activities (IQ/OQ/PQ), data collection, and continuous improvement initiatives to enhance quality, efficiency, and manufacturability.
• Perform testing, troubleshooting, and root-cause investigations of products, equipment, and manufacturing processes to resolve technical issues.
• Create, maintain, and revise controlled manufacturing documentation, including work instructions, test methods, engineering change records, and assembly procedures.
• Ensure compliance with ISO 13485, MDSAP, FDA regulations, and internal quality system requirements while supporting audits, CAPA activities, change control, and risk management processes.
• Less than 10% travel.
• Other duties as needed.

Requirements

• Either a High School diploma or equivalent AND 4+ years of experience as a production or engineering technician in a manufacturing environment, OR an Associate’s degree or greater in a STEM discipline AND 1+ years of experience as a production or engineering technician in a manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams).
• Understanding of complex hardware equipment and ability to troubleshoot electromechanical assembly using structured problem-solving methods.
• Demonstrated understanding of Good Documentation Practices (GDP) and document control requirements.

Desired Skills

• Bachelor’s Degree (BS) in Electrical, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering or Engineering Technology.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience writing and maintaining work instructions.
• Experience supporting manufacturing engineering in a medical device, healthcare technology, electronics, aerospace, or other regulated manufacturing environment.
• Working knowledge of SAP or other enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
• Experience with process improvement methodologies such as Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, or Six Sigma.
• Experience supporting engineering investigations, validation activities, or new product introduction efforts.
