The Position
As a Mechanical Engineering Process Manager, you will be responsible of ensuring that our processes are simple, stable, compliant, and continuously improved. You will set the strategic direction for the mechanical engineering processes for device development, establish process groups, align with stakeholders within the process organization and you decide on the right level of standardization and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP´s) description for the area. The processes guide mechanical engineers throughout the development phases of the product.
When designing our products, it is paramount they are safe and effective to use. In DDS, we define a delivery solution as robust, when it can fulfil its stakeholder needs and requirements even considering the specified variation from either manufacturing or intended use. We ensure this by conducting a continuous technical assessment of the products ability to fulfil stakeholder needs across the full value chain as an integral part of the daily project execution. The engineering processes across all relevant development areas (Systems Robustness) enables the identification of trade-offs as well as technical risks and issues all providing a foundation for data-based governance decisions The mechanical engineering processes reach across different areas within Devices & Delivery Solutions (DDS) but into areas within Device Manufacturing Development (DMD).
Your day-to-day areas of responsibility will include:
-
Aligning expectations across the subareas Kinematics, Tolerance Analysis, Structural analysis, Materials, GPS, DFM and DFA and develop the process to balance professional excellence with engineers' project execution capabilities while balancing the needs of our stakeholders and customers
-
Developing and setting the direction for technical processes in collaboration with mechanical competency areas defined as technical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in fields such as Kinematics, Tolerance, Structural Analysis, Materials, GPS, DFM, and DFA.
Qualifications
