Agilent Technologies•Windsor, NS

6d•CA$82,882 - CA$129,503•Onsite

About The Position

Performs a variety of engineering duties to support manufacturing operations. Improves products, processes and applications to meet agreed-upon objectives. May redesign products to meet cost objectives, obsolescence and customer requirements. Participates actively in new product introduction, including influencing the design of the product and/or process to ensure manufacturability and conformance with the global supply chain, enabling prototyping while in the R&D lab, testing the reliability of prototypes, scale-up, and managing the transition into production. Supports and implements the transition of products and manufacturing processes from prototype to full production and through the entire life cycle of the product. In a process environment, interfaces with the chemical development lab and production to ensure small-scale development activities will scale to manufacturing equipment and systems. Coordinates the revision of standard operating procedures (SOPs) as required to support the transfer. Partners with procurement, external vendors and customers to improve/sustain products and processes to meet production timelines, quality policies, and customer expectations. Utilizes digital solutions to optimize and maintain state of the art manufacturing processes. May direct the work of third-party vendors and/or partners to meet contract specified deliverables, performance or business objectives. May work with suppliers to ensure achievement of goals for cost, quality and delivery of parts and materials. May identify and manage ERP data such as bill of material and routing. May be responsible for designing, developing and enhancing microarray fabrication devices/equipment, processes and handling systems. May be responsible for scripting software code used in manufacturing tests or to program an instrument used for production of a product. May be required to use continuous improvement methodologies and understand quality regulations related to the life science industry. The role may encompass one or more of the following specialized areas: Materials Engineer, Fabrication Manufacturing Engineer, Manufacturing Machine Controls Software Engineer, and Manufacturing Data Management and Analytics Engineer.
