• 8+ years of engineering experience in a regulated manufacturing environment, including leading or formally mentoring engineers.
• Demonstrated DFX / design-for-manufacturability leadership and ownership of operational KPIs (yield, DPPM, OTD).
• Working fluency in a business system (Fortive Business System or equivalent Lean / Six Sigma).
• Experience in medical device or other ISO 9001 / 13485 / 17025 or FDA-regulated manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Own the design-for-excellence agenda — manufacturability, testability, yield, and cost — across new-product introduction and end-of-life.
• Own the engineering KPI bowler — first-pass yield, DPPM, and on-time delivery — and drive countermeasures wherever targets slip.
• Lead the Fortive Business System in the function (PSP, 3P, VRK, Standard Work, Daily Management) and build a strong hiring and talent-development plan.
• Partner across Quality, Materials, Production, Service, R&D, and HR to align engineering capacity to the operating plan and backlog.
