Job summary

Corza Medical is seeking a hands-on digital manufacturing leader to steer the first phase of our manufacturing digitization within Sustaining Engineering. You will set governance, architect Tulip apps, and partner with IT to build the foundation for AI-enabled quality and manufacturing intelligence.

The role requires cross-functional influence across Operations, Engineering, Quality, and IT, with a focus on scalable, shop-floor-ready digital workflows and data governance.

• Strong systems thinking: understands how applications, data, equipment, people, and quality processes connect.
• Able to write standards, lead governance, influence teams, and still stay close to the shop-floor details.
• Curious and practical about AI; focused on building the data and workflow foundation before chasing technology for its own sake.

Responsibilities

• Own the governance model for Tulip and other manufacturing digital tools, including standards, app ownership, change control, lifecycle management, and data expectations.
• Act as the chief architect for Tulip application development: app design, data model, templates, user experience, release process, and scalable deployment approach.
• Partner closely with IT on platform strategy, integrations, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and long-term technology direction.
• Translate manufacturing, quality, engineering, and operator needs into simple, compliant, shop-floor-ready digital workflows.
• Build the digital thread connecting work orders, material lots, machine signals, operator inputs, inspection results, quality events, and product performance.
• Define the roadmap for future AI use cases such as process drift detection, anomaly review, guided investigations, quality alerts, and automated insight packs.
• Help build and mentor the first network of digitization SMEs, app owners, super users, and process experts across the business.
