Job Summary

• We’re looking for a hands-on Continuous Improvement & Automation Engineer who identifies, assesses, builds, and implements solutions that reduce waste and improve manufacturing performance - not a facilitator or meeting coordinator.
• You will personally bring approved projects to live through analysis, solution development, automation build, training, implementation, and sustainment.
• Success is measured by high-quality opportunities identified, approved projects implemented, Finance-validated benefits delivered, and compliant results sustained.
• This role offers meaningful ownership and impact in a regulated Oral Solid Dosage environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Personally perform process studies, time studies, waste assessments, and bottleneck analysis to identify improvement and automation opportunities.
• Develop evidence-based opportunity assessments covering the baseline, expected operational and financial benefit, implementation needs, cost, risk, timing, and sustainment approach.
• Present opportunities to the Site Leadership Team (SLT) for prioritization, approval, and sponsorship; project priority and resource commitment remain with the SLT.
• Own approved projects from analysis through solution build, training, implementation, benefit realization, and sustainment, working with Operations, Finance, Quality, Engineering, and IT/OT as required.
• Develop and deploy practical digital and analytics tools, including Power BI dashboards, Power Automate workflows, and electronic data collection, to eliminate non-value-added work.
• Improve OEE, cleaning and changeover/setup time, labor productivity, throughput, and capacity across manufacturing, laboratories, offices, and warehouse operations.
• Partner with Finance to classify and validate benefits consistently, maintain one agreed view of project value, and prevent duplicate reporting or double counting.
• Establish process ownership, standard work, training, controls, documentation, and performance tracking before project closure.
• Ensure all improvements comply with GMP, data integrity, safety, quality, change-control, and validation requirements in an FDA-regulated environment.
