Resonetics Hutchinson is looking for a Manufacturing Engineer to join the team. At Resonetics we pride ourselves in beina a global leader in advanced engineering, prototyping, product development, and micro manufacturing, driving innovation in the medical device industry. With rapid expansion across all our locations, we continue to push the boundaries of technology while fostering a dynamic, employee-centered culture. Our commitment to excellence and continuous improvement makes Resonetics an exciting place for professionals passionate about shaping the future of micro-manufacturing and being part of something bigger.

The principal responsibility of this position is to develop and maintain manufacturing processes to meet acceptable standards of manufacturability and compliance to the Resonetics Quality System.  Manufacturing processes may include but not limited to stamping, forming, shearing, tube drawing, laser and resistance welding, laser marking, laser cutting, wire cutting and stripping, adhesive/paste dispense, oven/UV curing, electrical testing, machining (centerless grinding, Wire EDM, etc.), cleaning, ACF bonding, automation, automated inspection and/or measurement.

This position will work as part of a value stream team to concentrate on establishing and improving efficiencies in the manufacturing of medical devices. Additional areas of focus may include but are not limited to cost (scrap/labor) reduction, setup reduction, statistical process control/variation reduction, work cell design/optimization, operator training/work instructions and tool/machine design selection or improvements. Other responsibilities will include procedure generation, participation in production readiness/product validation activities for customers, developing and deploying continuous improvement plans for production products. An important aspect of this position is the hands-on nature of this role. As improvements are identified, it will very likely be the responsibility of this individual to implement and re-qualify changes.

• Take ownership of specific manufacturing processes as they pass through the final stages of production readiness and process validation to ensure that quality awareness and product integrity are maintained.
• Lead or contribute to project teams responsible for implementing process improvements and new technologies.
• Determine job cost baselines and initiate cost reduction activities.
• Analyze and evaluate existing processes, manufacturing practices and systems to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement.
• Develop or assist in design, costing, training for continuous improvement activities.
• Review existing process procedures for compliance to the designed process intent. Modify procedures as necessary and obtain approval from the originating process engineer.
• Provide technical support for process validation activities to ensure a smooth transition into the production environment.
• Perform Design of Experiments (DOE’s) where process assessment for optimization is required.
• Develop process documentation and training where applicable (manufacturing process, tool/machine setup, preventive maintenance etc.).
• Periodic customer liaison for quality or continuation engineering related issues. May assume project manager role for specific customer applications.
• Weekly/monthly reporting of activities and chosen performance metrics.

• Minimum 1 year experience in an engineering role or 3 years’ experience in a technician role in a manufacturing environment. New grads with relevant intern/co-op work experience may apply.
• BS degree in engineering (mechanical, industrial, manufacturing) or 2-year technical degree with additional manufacturing experience.
• Strong oral communication skill and demonstrated technical writing skills: able to write detailed reports, comprehensive manufacturing procedures and assist Quality Engineering with validation protocols.
