• Serve as a key operational contact for customers, leading regular reviews on production, delivery, quality, capacity, and improvement actions.

• Lead NPI, product transfer, validation, ramp-up, and mass-production execution, ensuring full manufacturing readiness before launch.

• Drive improvements in cycle time, line balancing, yield, OEE, manpower utilization, scrap, rework, and overall manufacturing efficiency.

• Monitor operational KPIs, lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions, and implement cost-reduction initiatives without compromising quality.

• Support customer and regulatory audits while promoting accountability, teamwork, safety, quality, and continuous improvement.

What We’re Looking For

• Degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Manufacturing, Operations Management, or a related discipline.

• Typically 8-10 years of medical device manufacturing experience, including at least 3-5 years in a supervisory or managerial role.

• Strong knowledge of production planning, manufacturing engineering, quality systems, supply chain, inventory management, and cost control.

• Hands-on experience with NPI, product transfer, process validation, capacity planning, and production ramp-up.

• Experience working in ISO 9001 and/or ISO 13485 environments is an advantage.

• Proven operational leadership and people-management skills, with the ability to lead cross-functional teams.

• Strong customer-management, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
