About the position

A career at Medtronic is like no other. We are committed, we are purposeful, and we are driven by our Mission to alleviate pain, restore health, and extend life for millions of people worldwide. This is an exciting opportunity to join the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (AME) team at Plymouth Nathan Lane. In this role as a Senior Advanced Process Engineer, you will have responsibility for developing, characterizing, and validating new process technology, with a focus on the introduction of process automation. This role will collaborate with various cross-functional teams inside and outside of the plant, including Operations Innovation, Quality, Regulatory, R&D, Operations, Technicians, and external vendors/consultants. This is an in-person role with very limited travel required. The position is located at the Plymouth Nathan Lane facility, which supports the Peripheral Vascular Health (PVH) Operating Unit. The PVH OU brings together various peripheral vascular businesses into one cross-functional, collaborative operating unit to employ the full breadth of our talent, technologies, products, services, and solutions to address the needs of customers and patients across the globe. As a Senior Advanced Process Engineer, you will provide technical and sustaining engineering support in a manufacturing area, recommend and implement equipment and process modifications to meet quality standards, and improve production efficiencies. You will also integrate equipment and material capabilities to meet process module target specifications and technology target specifications. Your role will involve reviewing product development requirements for compatibility with processing methods, interacting with product design and development personnel, and optimizing manufacturing processes in support of transitioning to automation. You will perform process development and validation in support of key projects, leveraging a multi-disciplinary approach to solve problems, and create and complete validation documentation while routing engineering change orders. This position requires a self-motivated individual who supports the culture and mission of Medtronic, quickly learns and collaborates on product design, and generates actionable ideas to reduce cost, cycle time, and increase yield.
