Advanced Process Robustness Engineer - Injection Moulding

Do you enjoy developing and implementing methods and strategies to monitor, control and optimize manufacturing processes based on analysis of process data – with all the collaboration and discovery that goes with it? Are you ready to take part in driving a development project all the way to production? Would you enjoy going to work every day knowing that your results make a difference for patients around the globe? If yes, apply today and join our team as our new Advanced Process Robustness Engineer 

The position 

As our new colleague, you will be responsible for the optimization and control of injection moulding processes for plastic components. You will design and oversee tests to determine the critical manufacturing process parameters and establish the optimal production settings. This in order to maximize the process window as limited by the product quality attributes that are critical to the functionality of the insulin dosing pen. Statistical data analysis is essential to establish the process control limits for validation and running production – which you will also be working with. Last but not least, you will ensure that the new methods and strategies are adequately anchored in relevant operating procedures. This is important, since the nature of the product requires everything to adhere to a well-defined set of regulations and quality standards. 

Examples of work tasks: 

• Robustness testing (DoE) to establish process limits. 
• Data Analysis to support equipment responsible or production 
• Technical problem solving & reporting e.g. in connection to deviations or problems in production. 
• Explorative tests (DoE) to optimize a process. 
• Project Management for problem solving or other tasks that you will be responsible for. 

This position offers a high level of collaboration across the organization. Technicians and process supporters in the production lines will get you a hands-on angle on your project, device development will provide insight in the “why” behind the product specifications, and from your colleagues in Quality Assurance you will get all the support you need to meet regulative standards in your results – just to name a few of the many places where your face will quickly become familiar. 

Qualifications 

You likely have: 

• Master’s degree in mechanical engineering, a PHD or similar technical background 
• 3+ years of experience with planning and executing DoE’s to optimize manufacturing processes 
• Experienced in Statistical data analysis eg. using SAS JMP 
• A track record of driving manufacturing improvements in your industry (potentially experienced from an international organization or consultant role). 
• Understanding and some experience with injection moulding 
• Good stakeholder Management skills 
• Willingness to travel 3-4 weeks per year (mostly in Europe) 
• Proficient in English, in speech as well as in writing. If you understand Danish, your job will probably be easier, but it is not a requirement. 

 We hope that you already know your way around the many requirements within regulated production setups, but if not, you will receive relevant training. 

Your skills in statistics and process optimization methods allow you to draw solid conclusions from data. Your outgoing personality and your communication style makes it easy for you to establish trustful relations across a diverse organization, where many people have backgrounds very different from yours. You are great at engaging and managing stakeholders, and your direction-setting initiative is rivalled only by your ability to follow through and your keen appreciation of quality. You enjoy sharing your knowledge, providing support for your colleagues when they need it. 

About the department 

You will be joining a team of 14 dedicated colleagues in the Plastic Processing team in the Device Manufacturing Development area in Hillerød. We develop the equipment and processes that transform great new Medical Device designs into actual products for our patients, bridging the gap between the development departments and the Injection Moulding production sites. 

You will be working with experts in the field of plastics processing, process simulation, plastic raw materials, and Robustness Engineers. We enjoy sharing our knowledge, and we are eager to get to know you and learn from you. And as we are a large group of technical experts, we can tailor tasks to utilize the individual strengths and professional development of each team member. If you appreciate collaboration in a creative and ambitious environment, you will feel at home with us.
