Staff Engineer - Industrialization
Location: Stryker Additive Manufacturing, Cork
Role: Permanent
This role is based in our Personalized Solutions team in Cork where we work on bringing custom design to meet patient needs using additive technology.
What you will do:
* Process Mapping: Possess the ability to clearly map production process and system interactions. Establishes and maintains the definitive reference process that the business unit refers to when evaluating existing practices and when launching new products.
* Systems: Has a strong background and understanding of systems (e.g MES, ERP etc). Works with key stakeholders in managing system complexity and defines, develops and delivers a holistic systems approach for the business unit. Evaluates multiple system options to select and aid implementation of the optimal solution. Ensures that systems and processes work together seamlessly.
* Value Stream Engineering: Systematically evaluates and improves manufacturing processes by analysing data, identifying inefficiencies, innovating and implementing solutions that enhance productivity, quality, and cost-effectiveness. Applies Lean Principles and Six Sigma Methodologies and can re-engineer/re-design processes to deliver efficiencies.
* Process Transformation: Ability to identify inefficiencies, design new workflows, integrate technology, and assist in the management of the overall change in the production system to deliver lead time, quality, and cost-effectiveness for NPI.
* Continuous Improvement: Must be able to drive operational excellence and efficiency in the business. Identifies areas for improvement in current and NPI processes. Drives sustainable process optimisation. Tracks and measures improvements to validate the success of implemented changes.
* End to End Process Launch: In addition to supporting NPI, the engineer will support Process Owners across the End-to-End Process to deliver production readiness for audit and launch. Helping process owners to deliver a fully defined process with detailed process flows including roles, responsibilities, system interactions, and tasks for each phase of production.
