  • Ensure compliance with ISO13485, cGMP, and safety standards.
  • Support Lean Manufacturing initiatives and continuous improvement projects.
  • Travel to toolmakers, customer sites, and vendors as needed (10–50%).
Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical, Manufacturing, Polymer, or related)
  • Additional certifications in Scientific Injection Molding (SIM), RJG, or Lean Six Sigma are highly desirable
  • Requires extensive experience in plastics manufacturing, ideally within medical devices, pharma, or regulated environments
