With strong technical expertise in process improvement, a deep understanding of quality management systems, and the ability to drive both operational excellence and product reliability, le Sr Process Engineer will:

-Play a dual role in optimizing manufacturing and quality control processes and ensuring product quality throughout the production lifecycle.

-Act as an expert leader in cross-functional coordination and project management, with no direct hierarchical management responsibilities in the short term

-Work cross-functionally with design, manufacturing, and regulatory teams to develop, monitor, and improve processes that meet stringent quality standards.

Missions & main duties:

- Process Engineering:

Develop, implement, and optimize manufacturing and quality control processes to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and increase product quality.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and validate new processes and equipment

Support the manufacturing manager in production data analysis to identify trends, deviations, and opportunities for process improvement.

Support the manufacturing manager in implementing lean manufacturing techniques, Six Sigma methodologies, and other process optimization tools.

Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to production processes, ensuring minimal downtime and maintaining continuous improvement efforts.

- Quality Engineering:

Lead or support cross-functional teams in quality assurance activities, including developing test plans, inspecting processes, and auditing quality systems.

Design and implement control plans, risk assessments (FMEA), and corrective action processes to maintain product quality.

Conduct root cause analysis on non-conformities and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).

- Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Act as a liaison between manufacturing, design, and quality teams to ensure product designs are optimized for manufacturability and quality.

Provide feedback to design engineers to influence product design improvements and ensure alignment with manufacturing capabilities.

Support product development teams in risk management and verification and validation (V&V) activities.
