R-D Engineer II

Overview

R&D Engineer II role focused on leading medium to high complexity supplier transfers and programmatic savings projects, covering vertical integrations, localization, cost optimizations and supplier management.

What you'll do

• Collaborate closely with local and global stakeholders on assigned tasks and projects to ensure timely and successful completion.
• Lead medium to high complexity supplier transfers and programmatic savings projects, focusing on vertical integrations, localization, cost optimizations and supplier management assignments.
• Perform design or engineering documentation gap assessments, manufacturing print reviews and remediation activities for RFQ activities.
• Participate in ideation workshops to assess project scoping and viability through economic analysis and supplier quote validation for programmatic savings projects.
• Carry out product sustenance engineering activities across design, manufacturing methods (Stamping, Plastics, Packaging, PDC parts), production processes and regulatory compliance.
• Coordinate with suppliers to resolve technical queries, ensuring timely and high-quality project delivery.
• Create, review and refine 2D drawings and 3D CAD models to support project requirements.
• Reverse engineer components to recreate CAD models and extract design intent using 1D principles and advanced inspection techniques (e.g., 3D scanning, measurement tools).
• Conduct DFMEA/PFMEA and design reviews to assess and mitigate design and manufacturing risks.
• Review and validate engineering drawings for DFMA, manufacturability, accuracy and completeness as per the latest engineering standards.
• Manage engineering change procedures using PDM/PLM software (Agile, Windchill, etc.).
• Use MS and Power BI tools for reporting, data analysis and dashboard creation.
• Automate process and manufacturing workflows using latest technologies including AI/ML.
• Apply financial terms used for cost savings opportunities during project scoping and proposal creation.

What you'll need

• Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical or Production engineering with minimum 4-8 years of relevant experience on gap assessments, manufacturing print reviews and remediation activities for RFQ activities.
• Experience in product sustenance engineering across design, manufacturing methods (Stamping, Plastics, Packaging, PDC parts), production processes and regulatory compliance.
• Knowledge of medical device regulations (MDR, FDA, CE, IEC).
• Hands-on experience in should costing (DFMA/aPriori) for metals, plastic and electronics components.
• Familiarity with Six Sigma methodologies (DFSS/DMAIC/LSS) for problem solving and cost, process and design improvement projects.
• Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing principles to eliminate waste, improve process flow and enhance operational efficiency.
• VAVE experience for cost-down project execution and certification (SAVE/INVEST).
• Hands-on experience in reverse engineering components and using advanced inspection techniques (e.g., 3D scanning, measurement tools).
• Well versed with engineering change management using PDM/PLM software (Agile, Windchill, etc.).
• Well versed with MS and Power BI tools for reporting, data analysis and dashboard creation.
• Hands-on experience in process/manufacturing workflow automation using AI/ML.
• Good understanding and application of financial terms used for cost savings opportunities.
• Excellent interpersonal, influence management and conflict resolution skills.
• Strong written, verbal and presentation skills.

Nice to have

• PMP trained or certified.
• Advanced degree (PG/Masters) in Plastics, Material, Tool design, etc.
• Knowledge of PowerBI, data analytics and Python for process automation.
