Life Unlimited. At Smith+Nephew, we craft and manufacture technology that takes the limits off living!
We have an exciting opportunity to join our New Product Introduction team as a Manufacturing Engineer. You'll work on our next generation of wound products to make difference, not only to S+N but more meaningfully, our customers!
What does the life of an NPI Manufacturing Engineer look like?
It's product and process development, it's straddling the early design concepts versus the operations and manufacturing processes. While one speaks to the art of the possible - this role will act as an anchor, guiding early product design phases and delivering a manufacturing process that will produce our products to specification, but do so efficiently. It will require innovation, thought, teamwork, leadership... after all, how can we produce innovative products without innovative processes?
What will you be doing?
1. Using Lean six sigma tools to ensure the products are Designed for Manufacture (DFM)
2. Implement and Validate new manufacturing processes within the Wound Operational franchise
3. Support all Design Transfer activities for new product launches as part of embedding new products into operations and ensure we have capacity for growth
4. Work in partnership with R&D and Operations to ensure alignment with design and offer a preliminary route to manufacture
What does success look like?
Our successful candidate will be educated in a relevant engineering background, such as a B.ENG degree or Higher National Certificate.
You'll be an experienced engineer with an understanding of and passion for the manufacturing processes. Experience with NPI and supplier relationship management would be advantageous, however not crucial.
