What to Expect
The Project Engineer, NPI is responsible for supporting the development of new
processes and carrying out each trial exactly to the established product
specification. This includes managing the program from early prototype builds
through to the launch of the production line. The primary role of the Project
Engineer will be to test and validate systems and parts involved in product
development and manufacturing in order to ensure products are of the highest
quality. To support this, the Project Engineer will also establish validation
standards, develop testing protocols, prepare equipment, document test results
and maintain records. The Project Engineer will identify, report, and adjust
equipment or processes that require improvement. This role will also take
point on equipment readiness for all launching and pilot lines in Energy. The
Project Engineer will collaborate with safety, design, product excellence,
change control, manufacturing, and service departments.
What You'll Do
Assist in validating manufacturing processes to ensure product
specifications and standards are achieved
Manage quality assurance and procedures by testing and validating systems
and parts; Assist in establishing and implementing new validation
standards, and procedures
Lead manufacturing line trials for new products and processed; Conduct
Trial Preparation and Reporting: Ensure part availability, line readiness,
and pre-requisite data obtained and consolidated. Document observations,
analysis, and results, make recommendations as needed and drive solutions.
Record all issues found during trials and help drive to closure; Manage
Trial Recovery: Ensure manufacturing lines are validated and/or restored
to prior condition post-trial(s). Evaluate the success of each trial
(yield, downtime, cost, safety, etc.)
Develop and improve equipment validation procedures including calibration
and qualification for both pilot line and production line equipment,
ensuring that safety and quality are built into the process
Become Expert Level Trainer on all machines in assigned areas and be
responsible for the level of knowledge of Shift technicians. Provide
hands-on support to maintenance team to troubleshoot and resolve extended
downtime situations; Serve as subject matter expert (SME) on trials to
ensure proper validation procedures are followed
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to evaluate the best processes
roll-out; Lead and provide feedback in change control meetings
