Shift Technical Engineer (rotation shifts)

Role Summary

An engineering professional who applies scientific knowledge, engineering knowledge, mathematics, and ingenuity to complete assignments related to lead process troubleshooting and minimize production downtime during assigned shift.

Responsibilities

• Responsibilities of this engineering grade level inherently include and expand upon the responsibilities established for lower engineering grade levels.
• Responsible for compliance with applicable policies and procedures.
• Plans and conducts small- to medium-size assigned projects (continuous improvement, cost reduction, capacity increase, etc.) that lead to process remediation and improvement requiring conventional types of plans, investigations, and/or equipment. Coordinates and monitors activities/projects. Reviews plans and monitors status of implementation for those assigned to project; makes judgments regarding quality of implementation within discipline; employs contingency plans to recover from schedule slippage and financial overruns when appropriate.
• Estimates and coordinates resources needed (materials, budget, time and people) to accomplish assigned individual tasks. Anticipates future directions. Benchmarks internally and externally. Recognizes changes in the environment and present resources as indicators of future problems and opportunities; prepares for such eventualities.
• Independently executes projects in manufacturing process areas to achieve process efficiencies such as increase in process yield, quality improvements, cycle time/throughput, and cost reduction initiatives by applying standard engineering theories, concepts, and techniques within the discipline. Independently investigates, conducts tests or experiments.
• Creates/modified designs for intermediate problems. Gather and analyze process data using statistical process control methodology. Support development of action plan to increase process robustness, prevent product loss, and control quality impact. Predicts patterns/trends. Grasps complexities and sees relationships among data; determines consequences and alternatives; makes recommendations.
• Improves methods/designs/processes. Recognizes and implements good ideas/innovations/costs reductions; consistently generates/adopts original solutions to problems and reduces them to practices.
• Mentors others by sharing technical expertise and providing feedback and guidance. Resolves underlying technical and automation problems. Identifies full range of customer/operator needs and proposes solutions to address them; makes alterations in products or services to better meet (recognized or unrecognized) customer need.

Qualifications

• A Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, science or closely related discipline is desired, or equivalent technical experience plus demonstrated competence, with a desired 2+ years of significant engineering and/or operational experience. Additional post-graduate education may contribute towards the desired years of experience.
• Has demonstrated competency within a discipline.
• Possesses a working technical knowledge and application of concepts, practices, and procedures. Ability to work on problems of moderate scope where analysis of situations or data requires a review of identifiable factors. Demonstrates judgment within defined procedures and practices to determine appropriate action.
• Interacts well with diverse groups within engineering and maintains strong working relationships with internal and external collaborators.
• Listens to and understands others' points of view and articulates tactfully and respectfully one's own perspective orally, in writing, and in presentations.
• Works well with other engineers in a collaborative, fast-paced goal-driven environment.
• Possesses interpersonal skills to negotiate and reconcile differences.
• Has a technical background in health care, medical devices, pharmaceutical, biologics, or similar industries (preferred).

Skills

• Statistical process control and data analysis
• Project planning and cross-functional collaboration
