• Experience in pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, medical-device, or another highly regulated manufacturing environment strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated hands-on ownership of manufacturing equipment or processes, including troubleshooting equipment failures and implementing engineering improvements.
• Ability to provide examples of identifying a manufacturing or equipment problem, determining root cause, implementing a corrective engineering change, and measuring the resulting improvement.
• Experience improving equipment reliability, downtime, throughput, yield, reject rate, scrap, cycle time, OEE, or comparable manufacturing-performance metrics.
• Experience with structured root-cause analysis and technical problem-solving.
• Experience supporting equipment installation, commissioning, startup, qualification, or manufacturing-line implementation.
• Working knowledge of cGMP requirements, validation, quality systems, document control, and the regulatory impact of equipment and process changes.
• Experience with deviations, CAPAs, change controls, engineering protocols, technical reports, risk assessments, or comparable controlled documentation.
