Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineer

Are you looking for a job where you are responsible for developing and improving assembly and testing processes for the manufacture of ophthalmic instruments and devices? And do you have knowledge of-and experience with-the established regulations in international standards for Medical Devices? And are you always curious about developments within your field? Then quickly read on to our position of Senior Advanced Manufacturing Engineer.

In this challenging role within Operations Engineering, you will be part of the Process & Test Development Engineering team. You will be responsible for the development of new processes for manufacturing (NPI) and assess product designs for assemblability (DFA) and testability (DFT). Together with R&D and production, you determine which processes can be automated and which requirements are important. Your contact with suppliers, system integrators and automation companies is good and you are a sparring partner during the development process. The final combination of machine and process is extensively tested and the data analysed (DOE) so that it can be taken (FAT, SAT) and validated (IQ, OQ, PQ). For a good introduction to the production floor, internal operators are also trained using the work instructions you have created. You maintain close contacts with system engineers, mechanical engineers, precision engineers, production, suppliers and quality assurance.
 
Tasks and responsibilities:
  • Designing production and assembly processes and introducing them on the production floor (NPI) 
  • Assessing design solutions for manufacturability (DFA, DFT)
  • Establishing process specifications
  • Supporting the development of machinery and the manufacture of assembly and test tools
  • Preparing risk analyses of assembly and test processes (PFMEA)
  • Investigates and solves problems in production processes (RCA, DMAIC)
  • Performing machine and process tests and analysing process data (DOE)
  • Testing and validating machines with associated processes (FAT, SAT, IQOQPQ)
  • Supervising and assessing 0-series and recording the results
  • Preparing production documents (assembly manuals)
  • Training and supervising production personnel and final inspectors in production. 
  • Analysing and solving (electro)mechanical problems with machines
  • Reporting on progress of projects, hours spent etc.
Do you have knowledge or experience of:
  • Regulations and standards in Medical Devices ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 60601, ISO 14971, ISO 10993 etc.
  • Design for Assembly and Testing (DFA and DFT)
  • Design and construction of process aids
  • Reading technical production drawings
  • Process data analysis and specific software
  • Knowledge and experience with process risk management (PFMEA, Control plan, validation)
  • Technical) process documentation and production documents (construction file)
  • Experience with 2D and 3D CAD
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills in Dutch and English
  • A college education in a technical field such as mechanical engineering, precision engineering, product design or mechatronics. Or comparable level obtained through experience
  • At least 10 years' work experience in a position involving collaboration with multidisciplinary teams in a Medical Devices production environment
