• Good experience developing LEAN manufacturing processes and risk assessment processes such as PFMEA, ideally in a medical device setting.
• A track record of delivering success in a high-tech, high quality environment for a complex mechatronic system and the ability to plan and manage multiple priorities whilst introducing the latest and most relevant manufacturing processes to minimise down time.
• Ideally, you would also have experience of MATLAB or Python for analysis and an appreciation of software analysis tools in a modern manufacturing environment.
