• Conduct time studies and perform load levelling to optimize production workflows and resource allocation.
• Analyse production data using statistical methods in Excel, including Design of Experiments (DOE), to identify trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
• Apply Theory of Constraints (TOC) principles to identify and resolve bottlenecks in manufacturing operations.
• Develop and oversee tooling solutions in SolidWorks to support production needs, including design, testing, and implementation.
• Support rapid prototyping initiatives to accelerate product development and process validation.
• Write and maintain detailed process documentation, standard work instructions, and standard operation sheets to ensure consistency and compliance.
• Collaborate closely with operators through Gemba walks to observe, understand, and optimize processes directly at the point of production, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
• Work with cross-functional teams (design, quality, and operations) to prioritize tasks and meet project deadlines, with a focus on incorporating operator feedback.
• Maintain accurate documentation of processes, procedures, and data analysis to support audits and continuous improvement efforts.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment, preferably within the medical device industry.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks or a similar CAD software package.
• Experience developing or optimizing manufacturing processes.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including advanced statistical analysis (e.g., pivot tables, charts, formulas).
• Demonstrated experience conducting time studies and implementing load levelling techniques.
• Understanding of tooling design and maintenance for manufacturing applications.
• Familiarity with rapid prototyping methods and technologies (3D printing, machining).
• Experience writing process documentation, standard work, and standard operation sheets.
• Hands-on experience collaborating with operators through Gemba practices to optimize processes and solve problems on the shop floor.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to prioritize tasks in a fast-paced environment.
