- Define and maintain process parameters, tolerances, and operating windows required to maintain capable processes.
- Conduct Design of Experiments (DOE) to optimize process variables and improve process robustness.
- Lead process validation activities, including Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Performance Qualification (PQ) where applicable.
- Risk Analysis & Process Control
- Develop and maintain Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA) to identify and mitigate manufacturing risks.
- Create and maintain Control Plans to ensure proper monitoring and control of critical process parameters and product characteristics.
- Implement and maintain Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems including control charts, sampling plans, and reaction plans.
- Define critical-to-quality (CTQ) characteristics and ensure appropriate measurement and control methods are in place.
- Support Measurement System Analysis (MSA) activities including Gage R&R studies.
- Production Support & Troubleshooting
- Provide technical support to production teams to resolve process issues impacting quality, throughput, or yield, supporting the Mirion Factory Development System.
- Perform root cause analysis using structured methodologies such as 8D, A3, Fishbone, and 5-Why.
- Implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to eliminate recurring process issues.
- Monitor process performance using data analysis and drive improvements to reduce scrap, rework, and variability.
- New Product Introduction (NPI)
- Support the transition of new products from design to production by developing robust manufacturing processes.
- Participate in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews.
- Develop manufacturing documentation including work instructions, standard work, and process flow diagrams, cycle times and capacity studies.
- Define tooling, fixtures, and equipment requirements needed to support production.
- Continuous Improvement
- Lead initiatives using Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and Kaizen methodologies to improve process capability and operational efficiency.
- Identify opportunities to improve OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), cycle time, and throughput.
- Drive cost reduction through process improvements, waste elimination, and yield improvements.
- Quality & Compliance
- Ensure manufacturing processes comply with applicable quality management systems (ISO 9001, IATF 16949, ASME NQA-1 and ISO 19443 or similar).
- Support internal and external quality audits and ensure required process documentation is maintained.
- Work closely with Quality Engineering to ensure processes meet internal and customer quality standards.
Responsibilities – Safety & Quality:
- All employees are expected to follow government and corporate laws, rules, regulations, policies, and procedures.
- All Cambridge employees play a role in the implementation of the site Quality and Safety Policy, which outlines a safe work environment as the foundation for the business unit’s goal to create a positive customer experience.
Additional Requirements
- Ability to establish goals, structures, and processes necessary to successfully complete projects.
- Strong communication skills in English that enables communication of technical concepts to all levels of the organization.
- Six Sigma Green belt or black belt, and lean manufacturing experience.
- Experience with APQP and PPAP processes.
- Experience using statistical software such as Minitab etc.
- Experience with automation or advanced manufacturing technologies.
- Professional Engineering Certification by a recognized board such as the Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO), Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) or C.E.T designation is a plus.
Education & Experience Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or college diploma in Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering or a related field.
- 3-5+ years of experience in a manufacturing or process engineering environment.
- Strong experience with process capability analysis (Cp, Cpk) and Statistical Process Control (SPC).
- Experience with PFMEA, Control Plans, Process Flow Diagrams and MSA.
- Ability to interpret engineering.
Physical Requirements
- Regularly required to sit, stand, walk 2-4 hours at a time
- Frequently required to sit and reach with hands and arms
- Must occasionally lift and/or move up to 40 pounds
- Work will be performed in office and various production site work environments
