Design, develop, document and implement robust manufacturing processes and scale-up activities for consumable assemblies (reagents with molded plastic components) and diagnostic instruments.
Define and evaluate different assembly strategies, identify automation opportunities, and maintain cost-effective, high-quality, repeatable operations; Develop process flow maps, optimize assembly sequences applying lean principles, and recommend new processes/equipment.
Serve as the manufacturing subject matter expert, identifying risks and mitigation strategies related to process steps, raw materials, and product performance (and their interactions) throughout tech transfer.
Collaborate cross functionally with R&D engineering, assay development, manufacturing and supply chain teams to ensure effective inventory management and material supply for verification and validation needs.
Establish and maintain manufacturing controls and documentation, including SOPs, work instructions, and acceptance plans, in compliance with ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820, and cGMP.
Plan and execute comprehensive validation protocols for equipment, facilities, and processes (IQ, OQ, PQ and TMV).
Perform root cause analysis for manufacturing failures with cross-functional teams and implement process improvements.
Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline.
- 5+ years’ significant manufacturing engineering or related operational experience in diagnostics or similar fields combining biologicals/reagents with injection-molded plastics.
- Proven ability to apply critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and experimental design to solve complex manufacturing problems.
- Working knowledge of tech transfer, cGMP processes, process validation / /qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ/TMV), and regulated manufacturing environments.
- Strong familiarity with manufacturing of reagents, consumables, and instruments for IVDs, tech transfer, cGMP processes, and validation/qualification requirements.
- Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams and managing multiple projects simultaneously.
- Experience with statistical process controls (SPC), design of experiments (DOE), and data analysis (Minitab, JMP, Excel).
~ Bonus points for:
Six Sigma and/or Lean certification, with practical experience using these tools for process improvement.
Prior experience with high-volume automated assembly and global IVD manufacturing regulations.
Experience in scaling up manufacturing operations from pilot scale to full production mode.
Project management experience and leadership of project teams.
Take a critical role in building and scaling manufacturing operations for novel diagnostics, impacting global healthcare systems.
Work alongside passionate problem-solvers in a culture that values curiosity, teamwork, and innovation.
Own your contributions on projects with meaningful, real-world outcomes.
Our mission is to democratize health technology, making healthcare more accessible and proactive.
