Process Engineer
Materialise Medical pioneers many leading medical applications using 3D technology and enables researchers, engineers, and clinicians to revolutionize personalized treatments that help improve and save lives. We develop and offer a comprehensive range of patient-specific surgical guides & implants to a growing and diversifying global customer base.
Job description
For each patient, our Medical Services team uses in-house developed software solutions to transform MRI/CT images into a 3D model and a successful plan, resulting in patient-specific guide and implant designs. Our Medical Production team turns design into reality using various 3D printing and post-processing techniques, after which detailed quality inspection, final cleaning, and packaging take place. To further drive and support our Medical Production activities, we're looking for a Medical Process Engineer to join the US team in Plymouth, Michigan.
What you will do
- Work with the global production team on topics related to 3D printing, post-processing, cleaning, and production planning. Your hands-on engineering approach allows you to become a technical expert and go-to for both development and operational questions.
- Identify, define, and implement process improvement following medical quality standards on the documentation and validation of your work. Data collected in both validation and operational settings allow you to continuously improve the operational quality and efficiency of our processes.
- Maintain existing validation programs and complete new equipment, product, and process validations. Translate this into an operational success by providing the right process documentation (work instructions), operator training, and support.
- As a member of the process engineering team, you will closely collaborate with stakeholders from operational, device development, biosafety, research, quality, and regulatory teams. Through involvement in a variety of activities and projects, we set up a growth trajectory in which you can shape your future at Materialise.
Your profile
- Master's degree in engineering or equivalent through experience
- A few years of experience working in a process (validation) engineering role within highly regulated industries, such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, or aerospace
- Quality-oriented with an eye for detail, but you don’t get stuck on this — you can think out of the box when needed
- Good at troubleshooting and problem-solving
- You have a strong, versatile, and proactive work ethic and are eager to learn.
- Proactive and self-organized
- You take initiative and demonstrate full ownership of your tasks
- You value and uphold impeccable coordination
