Manufacturing Quality Engineer II - Sustaining

How You'll Make an Impact

• Investigate moderately complex manufacturing product quality and compliance issues which may include:
• Investigating PRAs and complaints for manufacturing related issues
• Manage site NCRs, CAPAs, ECRs and audit observations for all production processes prior to final product release based on engineering principles; analyze results,
• Provide technical support to external and internal audits,
• Make recommendations and develop reports.
• Oversee product release, assess and disposition product on hold (MRB), and manage material quality control.
• Review and approve equipment validations and asset management actions.
• Optimize moderately complex Manufacturing processes using engineering methods (e.g., SIX Sigma, TOPP and LEAN methods) for design for manufacturing and for continuous process improvement.
• Identify opportunities for re-design/design of basic equipment, tools, fixtures, etc. to improve manufacturing processes, and reduce risk
• Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure successful transfers
• Develop, update, and maintain technical content of risk management files, review and revise pFMEAs in conjunction with BU PMS team where applicable for the plant site.
• Develop training and documentation materials for production (e.g., work instructions) to enable the seamless knowledge transfer of project and manufacturing processes
• Supports the following: Process validation or support/lead TMV, Sustaining Quality Engineering responsibilities such as review Quality Metrics, Material Review Boards, Quality Control etc, PMV, Process Validation plans
• Assign support tasks; gives instruction to technicians on conducting tests; trains technicians and provides feedback; and may coordinate technician work.

What You'll Need (Required)

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a scientific field with 2 years of experience in Quality Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Process Engineering, or related experience in a regulated manufacturing environment;
• OR Master’s degree in engineering or scientific field with no experience (or internship/co-op experience)
• Experience owning NCRs and CAPAs

What Else We Look For (Preferred)
