About the Job

Requirements

  • Expertise in one or more core competencies.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills.
  • Strong presentation skills.
  • Professional technical-writing ability, including process-validation protocols and technical reports.
  • Professional problem-solving skills and motivation to improve processes and develop improvement ideas.
  • Ability to work independently and proactively.
  • Strong knowledge of engineering concepts, tools, and processes.
  • Strong mentoring and people-development skills.
  • Strong computer skills, including office and engineering software applications.
  • Ability to analyze and correct product and process issues using independent judgment.
  • Strong analytical skills.
  • English reading and writing proficiency is required.
  • At least 3 years of work experience in CNC machining.
  • Familiarity with GD&T standards and the complete NPI process from prototype through mass production.
  • A college degree or higher in mechanical technology, material processing, or a related discipline.
  • Knowledge and application of ISO 13485 quality systems.

Responsibilities

  • Review 2D drawings and 3D models during new-product research and development, provide design-for-manufacturability optimization recommendations for CNC precision machining, evaluate structural suitability, dimensional tolerances, surface-finish requirements, and material machinability, identify manufacturing risks, and prepare process-feasibility reports.
  • Design process plans, select tools, and optimize cutting parameters for 5-axis milling, mill-turn, Swiss turning, 5-axis grinding, ID/OD grinding, wire EDM, turning, and gun-drilling equipment.
  • Perform CAM programming and machining simulations using UG/NX, Esprit, or Mastercam; follow prototype trials and first-piece validation; and resolve trial-stage technical issues including dimensional deviation, machining deformation, surface-roughness defects, and burrs.
  • Organize multiple rounds of trial-production verification, collect and analyze machining-process data, identify process variation and yield bottlenecks, compile complete process documentation including work instructions and SOPs, and support transfer from design to process production.
  • Design and select specialized CNC tooling and fixtures based on product structure and precision requirements; follow fixture machining, assembly, and on-site debugging and verification; optimize clamping and positioning methods to reduce deformation, improve consistency and production efficiency, and meet precision standards for medical-device components.
  • Work with the quality team on equipment IQ/OQ/PQ verification and production-process validation; define critical process parameters and critical quality attributes for core machining processes; and ensure process documents, changes, and production operations comply with ISO 13485 requirements.
  • Collaborate with research and development, quality, production, and purchasing teams to resolve manufacturing technical issues in new-product development; use A3, 8D, and other quality-analysis tools to investigate defective products and process abnormalities; maintain a CNC process database covering medical-material cutting parameters, standard tooling plans, and typical problem solutions; and improve process costs, cycle time, and yield.
  • Provide process training to production teams after new products transfer to mass production; track and resolve early mass-production process abnormalities, stabilize the process window, and assist production-line ramp-up and capacity stabilization.
  • Identify problems and provide effective solutions.
  • Comply with applicable GMP standards.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience machining stainless steel, titanium alloys, medical-grade plastics, and PEEK.
  • Experience in the medical-device industry.
