Job Description

Johnson & Johnson MedTech is recruiting for a Senior Tooling Engineer at the Palm Beach Gardens, FL, Raynham, MA or Westchester, PA facilities.

Purpose

This individual will be part of the Technical Operations group, supporting the Enabling Technologies platform. This platform is responsible for robotics, powered handpieces, and other hardware and software technologies enabling our businesses in Joint Reconstruction, Spine, and Trauma.

The candidate will be responsible for the design, development, and optimization of tooling and manufacturing processes to support efficient production and product quality.

You Will Be Responsible For

Design of Tooling:

• Conceptualization: The candidate will conceptualize tooling designs based on specific product requirements and production methods. This includes understanding the geometry and functionality of devices and their components to create effective tooling solutions.
• Detailed Design: Use CAD software to create detailed blueprints for various tooling components (e.g., molds, jigs, fixtures, and dies). The designs should include tolerances, materials specifications, and assembly procedures.
• Material Selection: Identify and select appropriate materials for tooling to ensure durability, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with production processes.
• Development of Tooling:
• Prototyping: Coordinate the prototyping of tooling designs to validate their functionality. This involves collaborating with machine shops or in-house manufacturing teams to build initial tools.
• Collaboration with Manufacturers: Engage with external vendors or internal manufacturing teams to ensure that tooling can be effectively produced at scale. Conduct feasibility studies to understand any technical constraints in the production of tooling.
• Testing and Validation: Perform thorough testing on newly developed tools to ensure they meet required specifications and function properly in real production environments. Capture data on performance and iterate the design if needed.
• Optimization of Manufacturing Processes:
• Process Analysis: The engineer will analyze existing manufacturing processes and tooling performance, identifying inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement. This might involve direct observation on the production floor, data analysis, and gathering team feedback.
• Tooling Improvements: Implement modifications to tooling designs and processes aimed at enhancing productivity, reducing cycle times, and minimizing waste. This may also involve the integration of automation or other advanced manufacturing techniques.
• Standardization: Develop standardized practices and guidelines for tooling and manufacturing processes to ensure consistency and reliability in production output.
• Support for Efficient Production:
• Production Coordination: Maintain regular communication with production teams to understand their tooling needs, identify problems, and support them with effective solutions. Ensure that tools are designed for easy setup and changeover to minimize downtime.
• Performance Monitoring: Set up monitoring systems to track the performance of tooling in production, analyzing data to ensure tools operate within their intended efficiency ranges.
• Training and Support: Provide ongoing training to production staff regarding the effective use and solving of tools. Support them in resolving any issues that arise in the production process.
• Quality Assurance:
• Quality Control Standards: Develop tooling that adheres to quality control standards and ensure that it meets all relevant safety and regulatory requirements.
• Feedback and Iteration: Gather feedback from quality assurance teams about tooling performance and product quality, using this information to drive continuous improvement in designs and processes.
• Documentation: Ensure comprehensive documentation of tooling designs, specifications, and optimization efforts to facilitate knowledge sharing and future improvements.
