Manager, Instrument NPI Engineering (P-4819)

Overview

We are seeking a Manager to join the instrument New Product Introduction (NPI) Engineering Team. This person will be responsible for the design transfer and scale-up of new instrument platforms, establishing and validating manufacturing processes, equipment / fixture / tooling design and qualification, and ensuring manufacturability, optimized to deliver high-quality products from pilot build through mass production.

What You Will Be Doing

• Lead team of engineers in the design transfer and creation of robust manufacturing processes, including validation and Gage R&R studies, and initial equipment qualifications.
• Implement both talent management and project management tools to successfully manage resources and monitor NPI phase-gate milestones.
• Review and approve, draft when necessary, process documentation, including transfer protocols and initial build reports.
• Engage with R&D / Design Engineering, contract manufacturers, and internal quality, to drive new product manufacturability reviews, resolve critical build issues, and ensure process stability before full launch, with a focus on meeting initial Cost of Goods Sold (COGs) targets.
• Interface with design engineering and Product Management to coordinate the release of initial ECOs for both hardware and software, focusing on product configuration and BOM maturity.
• Work with design engineering to optimize product design for high-volume manufacturing, driving DFM / DFA principles.
• Create, perform, and lead the team in the execution of pilot and verification builds to identify and mitigate manufacturing risks.
• Design and development of initial manufacturing test fixtures as required for first-pass quality control. Design fixtures and tooling to support efficient line setup and process control at launch.
• Define, measure, and report first-pass yield and critical to quality (CTQ) metrics during the NPI phase.
• Identify and implement manufacturing solutions based on knowledge of new assembly methods, quality control standards, fabrication processes, tooling, production equipment, product design, and materials.
• Where needed implement early process controls, SPC (Statistical Process Control), to ensure quality product at launch.
• Investigate or resolve pre-production operational problems, such as initial material variances and line bottlenecks.
• Prepare reports and presentations summarizing information or trends related to NPI build performance and readiness for transfer.
• Provide technical expertise or support related to the initial manufacturing footprint and line design.
