• Leadership in cross-functional initiatives, drive strategic improvements, oversee process validations, implement continuous improvement strategies, and support commercial-scale operations.

Job Responsibilities and Essential Duties

Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design For Six Sigma (DFSS) & Product Development

• Establish and standardize DFM and DFSS best practices, templates, and guidelines across engineering teams.
• Lead early design phases to influence product architecture, material selection to ensure scalability, robust manufacturability, and cost-optimized solutions
• Drive Design for Six Sigma methodologies (DMADV/IDOV) during product development to ensure critical-to-quality (CTQ) requirements are met.
• Integrate Design for Cost (DFC) principles into product and process development, ensuring costeffective material choices, processes, and tooling strategies.
• Provide technical leadership in DFM reviews, tolerance analyses, design risk assessments, and capability studies.
• Translate product requirements into manufacturing specifications, tooling designs, and process control strategies.
• Support prototype builds and pilot manufacturing, documenting design/assembly issues and implementing corrective actions.

Process Development & Validation

• Develop and optimize manufacturing processes including molding, machining, laser processing, automated assembly, packaging, and/or sterilization workflows.
• Lead large scale process validations (IQ/OQ/PQ), process characterization efforts, and statistical justification aligned with regulatory expectations.
• Establish longterm process capability targets, implement control strategies, and ensure audit readiness.
• Apply DFSS tools such as DOE, and tolerance stackups to guide process optimization.

Manufacturing Support & Continuous Improvement

• Serve as the technical escalation point for complex manufacturing challenges, driving root-cause investigations and high-impact CAPAs to closure.
• Lead yield improvement initiatives, cost-reduction programs, and process harmonization across multiple product families.
• Partner with Operations and Quality to enhance throughput, reduce scrap, optimize workflow, and expand manufacturing capacity.
• Lead Lean/Six Sigma initiatives targeting waste reduction, workflow optimization, and standardization.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Act as the primary technical interface in a cross-functional team as a Core Team member
• Lead technical discussions with suppliers on component manufacturability, material selection, tooling design, and qualification of new technologies.
• Apply Design for Cost and Lean principles to reduce waste, optimize workflow, and lower overall cost of goods.
• Partner with Operations and Quality to enhance throughput, reduce scrap, and expand manufacturing capacity.

Minimum Requirements

• Master's (Preferred) or Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Mechanical, Manufacturing Systems, Biomedical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related technical field with 8+ years of experience.
• Proven experience in DFM, process development and product industrialization. 
• Certification in Six Sigma Black Belt (Preferred) or Green Belt

Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

• Hands-on experience with process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), risk management (FMEA), and statistical analysis.
• Proficiency with CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo), GD&T, and tolerancing methods.
• Strong problem-solving skills with familiarity in DOE, SPC, and root-cause methodologies.
• Experience with automated assembly systems, robotics, or high-volume manufacturing.
• Knowledge of polymer processing, metal fabrication, laser welding or additive manufacturing.
• Experience in Audit Readiness and Internal/External Audits with the various Regulatory bodies (FDA, TGA, PMDA, etc.) 
• Ability to communicate within the discipline and with others who are not technically trained
• Ability to prioritize tasks in a fast-paced environment.

The salary range for this position is between $125k - $140k per year depending on experience.
