  • Develop business cases, project charters, and ROI analyses to justify improvement initiatives.
  • Present CI updates, outcomes, and recommendations to senior leadership.

Culture & Capability Building

  • Create and maintain training materials, SOPs, and standardized processes.
  • Coach teams to identify waste, solve problems autonomously, and embrace continuous learning.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in continuous improvement, operational excellence, or process engineering within a regulated manufacturing environment (medical device preferred).
  • Strong working knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, and structured problem-solving tools.
  • Experience working within FDA-regulated or ISO 13485 environments.
  • Demonstrated success leading CI projects and cross-functional teams.

  • Experience with automation, digital manufacturing tools, or Industry 4.0 technologies.
