We are searching for the best talent for Manufacturing Engineer
Position Summary
The Manufacturing Engineer is an entry-to-developing individual contributor responsible for supporting the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of manufacturing processes, equipment, and production systems.
This role applies manufacturing engineering principles to execute defined engineering projects, improve process performance, support manufacturing readiness, and resolve technical issues. The Manufacturing Engineer works cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Quality, R&D/Design Engineering, Supply Chain, and other partners to ensure manufacturing solutions are safe, reliable, efficient, and capable of meeting business and product requirements.
The engineer is expected to develop increasing independence in technical problem solving, project execution, data analysis, and communication of engineering recommendations.
Manufacturing Engineering & Process Development
- Support the development, implementation, qualification, and improvement of manufacturing processes and equipment.
- Translate product and design requirements into practical manufacturing processes, work instructions, tooling, fixtures, and equipment requirements.
- Develop and maintain manufacturing documentation, including process specifications, standard work, engineering studies, and technical reports.
- Support manufacturing readiness activities for new products, design changes, process changes, and production builds.
- Evaluate manufacturing processes for safety, quality, repeatability, efficiency, and scalability.
Engineering Project Execution
- Own defined manufacturing engineering projects and workstreams from planning through implementation.
- Develop project plans, milestones, deliverables, and schedules using standard project management tools.
- Coordinate engineering activities with cross-functional partners to ensure work is completed on schedule and aligned with project objectives.
- Identify technical risks, dependencies, and barriers and escalate appropriately.
- Track engineering deliverables and provide clear project status updates to stakeholders and management.
Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement
- Apply structured engineering problem-solving methods to manufacturing issues and opportunities.
- Analyze process and manufacturing data to identify trends, root causes, and improvement opportunities.
- Support root-cause investigations and implementation of corrective and preventive actions.
- Recommend improvements to manufacturing methods, tooling, equipment, workflows, and process controls.
- Use data to measure the effectiveness of implemented improvements.
Manufacturing Support
- Provide hands-on engineering support during prototype, development, validation, and production builds.
- Troubleshoot manufacturing issues in collaboration with technicians, operators, Quality, and engineering partners.
- Support disposition and investigation of manufacturing nonconformances where appropriate.
- Assist with implementation of engineering changes into the manufacturing environment.
- Support equipment, tooling, material, documentation, and process readiness prior to builds.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner effectively with Manufacturing, Quality, R&D/Design Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations, and other functions.
- Communicate technical information in a clear and practical manner to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Prepare engineering reports, presentations, data summaries, and project updates for various organizational levels.
- Participate in design and process reviews and provide manufacturing engineering input on manufacturability, process capability, and production readiness.
- Demonstrate Johnson & Johnson Credo values and leadership behaviors in day-to-day interactions.
Qualifications
Required
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related engineering/scientific discipline.
