• Facilitate technical discussions between suppliers and global Thermo Fisher teams.
• Establish quality verification checkpoints to eliminate packaging errors.
• Apply Lean Manufacturing principles to simplify and optimize processes before introducing automation.
• Help develop reusable equipment concepts, supplier capabilities, standards, and best practices.
• Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs), line operation training programs, and operational readiness playbooks.
• Manage operational metrics (OEE, scrap rates, downtime, throughput) for packaging and logistics processes, reporting performance metrics to executive leadership.

Requirements

• 8+ years of proven ability in packaging automation, manufacturing automation, automated equipment development, or a related engineering field.
