Manufacturing Engineer

Job Title: Manufacturing Engineer – Yield Sustainment (Temporary Position)

Location: Onsite

Overview

We are seeking a skilled Manufacturing Engineer to join our client, a large medical device firm, for a project-based role focused on yield sustainment. This position involves supporting production lines that are part of a manufacturing transfer. The ideal candidate will work onsite and play a critical role in ensuring smooth processes and resolving issues during the transition.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve and stabilize production yields.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in simple electrical and mechanical systems.
• Conduct yield investigations and implement countermeasures to address process dips.
• Support reprocessing operations for surgical devices, which includes:
• Receiving and identifying used devices from hospitals.
• Disassembling and cleaning devices before transferring to another facility.
• Collaborating with the receiving site for assembly, functional testing, and packaging.
• Trace yield issues to the point of origin and develop actionable solutions.
• Participate in production activities across multiple sites (Chandler, Lakeland, and TJ).
  

Process Overview

The reprocessing of surgical devices involves several key steps:

• Devices are received, identified, and sorted by model.
• Devices may be disassembled prior to cleaning.
• Cleaned devices are transferred to a second facility for assembly, testing, and packaging.
• Final products are sent out for sterilization.
  
  

This role will primarily focus on the initial steps, including device receiving, disassembly, and cleaning, while working closely with other sites to optimize yields across the full process.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical or Electrical preferred).
• Proven ability to troubleshoot electrical and mechanical systems.
• Strong problem-solving skills and experience with continuous improvement initiatives.
• Ability to work effectively in cross-functional team environments.
• Experience in manufacturing transfers or related processes is a plus.
