• Troubleshoot engineering and manufacturing issues to improve product quality, reliability, and yield.
• Apply FMEA, DOE, and statistical analysis to optimize processes and reduce costs.
• Manage engineering changes (ECRs/ECNs) and maintain technical documentation, including drawings, BOMs, work instructions, and validation plans.
• Drive continuous improvement and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure smooth product transitions into manufacturing.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in product engineering, mechanical design, or manufacturing engineering.
• Experience in product engineering, mechanical design, or manufacturing engineering.
• Knowledge of product transfer, sustaining engineering, and manufacturing processes.
• Familiarity with FMEA, DOE, root cause analysis, and engineering change management.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience in life sciences, medical devices, or other regulated industries is an advantage.
