as one to help many.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

The mission of this role is to drive manufacturing excellence through the design and optimization of precision tooling, fixtures, and end-of-arm equipment that directly enable efficient, high-quality medical device production. This position ensures manufacturing operations maintain continuity and meet stringent quality standards by delivering first-time-right designs that minimize rework, reduce production downtime, and control tooling costs. By translating customer requirements and manufacturing constraints into robust technical solutions, the role supports both operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Through continuous improvement of tool performance and longevity, this position contributes to reduced total cost of ownership while maintaining the exacting standards required in medical device manufacturing.

WHAT YOU’LL ACHIEVE

While the ways that you fulfill these responsibilities will likely evolve, your core responsibilities are:

Design innovative tooling and fixture solutions to optimize manufacturing efficiency, resulting in reduced production lead times and enhanced product quality

On average this should be about 35% of your time. Among other things this means we expect you to:

• Complete designs in Creo Parametric or Solidworks using efficient and organized modeling techniques
• Utilize software, standards, and existing designs to reduce project lead time and maintain consistency
• Conduct design reviews with engineering and tooling teams to validate design inputs and ensure manufacturability
• Prepare and manage layout drawings when applicable to communicate design intent

Establish comprehensive design requirements through cross-functional collaboration, resulting in safe, high-quality tool builds that meet customer specifications

On average this should be about 25% of your time. Among other things this means we expect you to:

• Interact and collaborate with customers to effectively support and recommend appropriate design changes
• Work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to establish design inputs based on customer and part requirements
• Keep internal stakeholders aware of design status and progress through regular communication
• Ensure documentation meets quality systems requirements and regulatory standards

Drive continuous improvement in tool design and performance, resulting in extended tooling life and reduced manufacturing costs

On average this should be about 20% of your time. Among other things this means we expect you to:

• Solicit feedback on the results of tool fabrication and part manufacturing to better future designs
• Analyze tool performance data to identify opportunities for design optimization
• Recommend changes to tool designs to improve the life of the tooling and reduce maintenance requirements
• Design, document, and provide scope of work for tool modifications and repairs

Manage component inventory and procurement processes to support timely project execution, resulting in minimized project delays and optimized material costs

On average this should be about…
