• Drive manufacturing design control for new products and processes, ensuring robust, compliant maturation from early builds through commercialization.

• Translate product design into scalable, repeatable manufacturing solutions by applying manufacturing engineering principles, Edwards systems, and operational standards.

• Own and develop manufacturing documentation across the product lifecycle, including drawings, routers, SOPs, pFMEAs, work instructions, and training materials to enable seamless knowledge transfer to production.

• Partner with R&D, Quality, Pilot, and Operations to define and refine processes during QST, pre‑DV, DV, and early builds—supporting root cause investigations and design-for-manufacturability improvements prior to commercialization.

• Develop and execute process characterization, experiments, and test protocols to establish process understanding, capability, and control.

• Support and execute manufacturing qualifications and validations (IQ, OQ, Software) to ensure processes meet regulatory, quality, and business requirements.

• Influence product and process specifications from an operations perspective, including DFx, tolerancing, materials selection, and automation, while establishing stability metrics and proactively mitigating risk through SCRR, MRR, and related forums.

• Serve as the Voice of the Factory, leveraging SME product and process knowledge to identify gaps, elevate risks, and drive continuous improvement.

• Collaborate on manufacturing equipment and tooling development, including concept input, design refinement, and readiness for production use.

• Support manufacturing and compliance issue resolution, including CAPA, non‑conformances, audit observations, and process transfer activities.

• Identify and implement improvements to processes, equipment, tools, and fixtures using engineering problem‑solving approaches, LEAN principles, and basic statistical methods.

• Execute project deliverables to plan, leveraging project management tools such as schedules, risk analyses, and action tracking to meet customer and program expectations.

• Provide technical leadership on the factory floor, including guiding technicians and junior engineers, overseeing test execution, delivering training, and providing real‑time feedback.

• Perform additional responsibilities as needed to support program success and business priorities.

What else we look for (Preferred)
