What to ExpectThe Project Engineer, NPI is responsible for supporting the
development of new processes and carrying out each trial exactly to the
established product specification. This includes managing the program from
early prototype builds through to the launch of the production line. The
primary role of the Project Engineer will be to test and validate systems and
parts involved in product development and manufacturing to ensure products are
of the highest quality. To support this, the Project Engineer will also
establish validation standards, develop testing protocols, prepare equipment,
document test results, and maintain records. The Project Engineer will
identify, report, and adjust equipment or processes that require improvement.
The Project Engineer will collaborate with safety, design, product excellence,
change control, manufacturing, and service departments.What You’ll DoAssist in validating manufacturing processes to ensure
product specifications and standards are achievedLead manufacturing line trials for new products and
processesManage quality assurance and procedures by testing and
validating systems and parts; Assist in establishing and implementing new
validation standards, and proceduresConduct Trial Preparation: Ensure part availability, line
readiness, and pre-requisite data obtained and consolidated; Complete Trial
Report: Document observations, analysis, and results, make recommendations as
needed and drive solutions. Record all issues found during trials and help drive to
closure; Manage Trial Recovery: Ensure manufacturing lines are validated and/or
restored to prior condition post-trial(s). Evaluate the success of each trial
(yield, downtime, cost, safety, etc.); Serve as subject matter expert (SME) on
trials to ensure proper validation procedures are followedCollaborate with cross-functional teams to evaluate the best
processes roll-out;  Lead and provide feedback
in change control meetings

What You’ll Bring5+ years’ experience in a manufacturing environment and a Bachelor’s
Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Manufacturing Engineering, or equivalent experienceUnderstanding of manufacturability, process design, process
validation, and assembly methods; Have an aptitude to learn and incorporate new
technologiesExperience breaking down high-level (e.g. device level)
performance issues into addressable action items; Ability to identify issues
and make corrective measures to resolve Skillful with electrical and computer-based tools, including
precision measuring equipment, electrical test equipment, and computer
databasesUnderstands and appropriately applies principles,
procedures, requirements, and policies related to specialized projectsProven ability to operate under pressure with rigid time
constraints; Can track and manage multiple tasks simultaneously; Ability to
work in a fast-paced environment, occasionally requiring extended hoursCan work closely with cross-functional departments;
