What You'll Do:
•    Develop and implement extrusion processes specifically for medical device tubing to ensure high precision and compliance with medical standards. Responsible for all aspects of the polymer extrusion line, includingset-up and tear down, equipment maintenance and work flow.  
•    Execute existing complex processes such as (including but not exclusive to) multi lumen, taper tubing or co-extrusions; Balloon tubing.
•    Drive process optimization. Work with production personnel and R&D to ensure high precision extrusion requirements meeting customer specifications and tolerances
•    Diagnose and resolve issues related to the extrusion process to minimize downtime and defects. Trouble shoot processing parameters
•    Collaborate with external vendors to develop tooling and fixtures that result in producing high precision quality products.
•    Manage raw extrusion materials in a way that ensures traceability and prevents contamination.
•    Maintain comprehensive records and documentation of all extrusion processes, improvements, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Generate documentation on extrusion runs that is used to control traceability and ensure reproducibility.
•    Write and execute process and equipment validations (IQ/OQ/PQ).
•    Work with Production development, Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing Departments during concept, prototyping, and release of
•    Support productivity improvement, reducing unnecessary scrap, down time/set-up time.
•    Support scrap-reduction, cost savings and quality improvement teams, with focus on process and material optimization.
•    Provide technical support and training to production staff to ensure adherence to best practices and quality standards.


What We're Looking For:

•    Post-Secondary education in a engineering/technical field or relevant technical experience & skills
•    Minimum 5 years’ experience of hands on precision extrusion for medical grade products. You know how to set up equipment and run the product.
•    Ability to execute existing complex processes such as multi lumen, taper tubing or co-extrusions
•    Extensive knowledge in the extrusion of various polymers.  (Pebax, Arnitel, Hytrel, PET, PU, HDPE, LDPE, PBT,  Poly-Propylene, Nylons etc)  as well as tooling and die design and process parameters.
•    Expert understanding the effects that viscosity and velocity have on profiles and multi lumen extrusions and the concepts used in tool design to counteract these effects.
•    Understanding the effects that residual moisture has on material viscosity and resin degradation in the process.
•    Expert understanding of the relationships of the process instrumentation to the observed effects on the process.
•    Work as part of a Cross functional team and independently with excellent personal time management skills, creating a collaborative project environment is essential.
•    Able to conform to shifting priorities, demands and timelines through analytical and Problem-solving capabilities. Flexible during times of change.
