Job description

Job Details

Job Location: Apollo Sandy - Sandy, UT 84070


Position Type: Full Time


Job Shift: Day


Position Summary

We are seeking an industry-leading extrusion expert to serve as a Principal Process Development Engineer (PPDE) and Subject Matter Expert (SME) for extrusion technologies across our manufacturing sites. This role will be responsible for establishing and institutionalizing best-in-class process development standards, guidelines, and technical frameworks for a wide range of extrusion processes used in medical device manufacturing.


The ideal candidate will bring deep technical expertise, a track record of innovation, and the ability to elevate organizational capability through knowledge-based process development, standardization, and cross-site collaboration.


Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership & SME Role

  • Serve as the enterprise-wide technical authority on extrusion processes (e.g., single-lumen, multi-lumen, co-extrusion, and micro-extrusion).

  • Provide expert guidance in solving complex process challenges, including material behavior, tooling design, and process optimization.

  • Lead root cause investigations and corrective actions for critical extrusion-related issues.


Process Development Standards & Frameworks

  • Develop and deploy standardized process development methodologies aligned with scientific/knowledge-based engineering principles.

  • Establish process characterization protocols, DOE, and validation approaches (IQ/OQ/PQ).

  • Create design guidelines for tooling, die design, and downstream equipment integration.

  • Define critical process parameters (CPPs) and control strategies.


Technology Development & Innovation

  • Identify and drive adoption of advanced extrusion technologies, including micro-extrusion and multi-material extrusion.

  • Lead feasibility studies for new materials (e.g., implantable polymers such as PEEK, TPU, PCU).

  • Evaluate and recommend new equipment, automation, and digital process monitoring solutions.


Cross-Functional & Cross-Site Collaboration

  • Partner with Product Development, Operations, Quality, and Application Development teams.

  • Ensure smooth technology transfer from development to production across sites.

  • Standardize best practices across extrusion plants to ensure consistency and scalability.


Capability Building & Mentorship

  • Mentor Process Development Engineers and Technicians in extrusion science and engineering.

  • Develop and deliver training programs and technical documentation.

  • Build organizational competency in extrusion process development and validation.


Quality & Compliance

  • Ensure all processes meet regulatory requirements (FDA, ISO 13485) and internal quality standards.

  • Support validation strategies for Class II and Class III medical device components.

  • Integrate SPC, digital quality systems, and Industry 4.0 tools (IIoT) into extrusion processes.


QualificationsEducation

  • Bachelor’s degree in Plastics Engineering or Polymer Engineering or Mechanical Engineering (M.S, Ph.D. preferred)


Experience

  • 15+ years of hands‑on experience in extrusion process development, preferably in medical device manufacturing.

  • Demonstrated expertise in:

  • Micro‑extrusion and tight‑tolerance tubing

  • Multi‑lumen and co‑extrusion processes

  • Processing of advanced polymers (e.g., PEEK, TPU)


Technical Skills

  • Strong understanding of:

  • Polymer rheology and material science

  • Tooling/die design and flow dynamics

  • Scientific extrusion principles and DOE methodologies

  • Experience with process monitoring, automation, and data analytics tools.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in medical‑grade thermoplastic materials.

  • Experience integrating digital manufacturing / IIoT systems into extrusion processes.

  • Experience with additional polymer processing techniques preferred.
