Manufacturing Engineer

Performs a variety of engineering duties to support manufacturing operations.
- May redesign products to meet cost objectives, obsolescence and customer requirements.
- Participates actively in new product introduction, including influencing the design of the product and/or process to ensure manufacturability and conformance with the global supply chain, enabling prototyping while in the R&D lab, testing the reliability of prototypes, scale-up, and managing the transition into production.
- Supports and implements the transition of products and manufacturing processes from prototype to full production and through the entire life cycle of the product.
- In a process environment, interfaces with the chemical development lab and production to ensure small-scale development activities will scale to manufacturing equipment and systems.
- Coordinates the revision of standard operating procedures (SOPs) as required to support the transfer.
- Partners with procurement, external vendors and customers to improve/sustain products and processes to meet production timelines, quality policies, and customer expectations.
- Utilizes digital solutions to optimize and maintain state of the art manufacturing processes.
- May direct the work of third-party vendors and/or partners to meet contract specified deliverables, performance or business objectives.
- May work with suppliers to ensure achievement of goals for cost, quality and delivery of parts and materials.
- May identify and manage ERP data such as bill of material and routing.
- May be responsible for designing, developing and enhancing microarray fabrication devices/equipment, processes and handling systems.
- May be responsible for scripting software code used in manufacturing tests or to program an instrument used for production of a product.
- May be required to use continuous improvement methodologies and understand quality regulations related to the life science industry.
- May be responsible for one or more of the following roles:Materials engineer: Applies knowledge of materials science to collaborate with and provide consulting to R&D, procurement and manufacturing engineering in the research, specification, sourcing and qualification of materials used in the design and production of Agilent products.
- Plans, evaluates and recommends technical, quality and cost specifications to meet design and business growth objectives and supply chain optimization.
- Identifies and qualifies alternative materials when needed.
- Work with suppliers to clarify specifications to meet quality, cost and manufacturability goals.
