SeniorLead

About the role

  • Lead and develop Principal Manufacturing Technicians across distributed sites.
  • Drive consistent interpretation and application of manufacturing quality standards across locations.
  • Define and maintain manufacturing quality rubrics that translate expert judgment into objective, auditable criteria.
  • Convert clinician feedback (returns, remakes, qualitative notes) into quantitative specifications and CTQs (Critical to Quality).
  • Align manufacturing rubrics with design rubrics in partnership with the Manager of Design Quality.
  • Lead Attribute Agreement Analysis (AAA) and calibration programs for inspection consistency.
  • Establish SPC/control charts and action thresholds for key CTQs.
  • Apply Lean Six Sigma methods to reduce variation and improve FPY.
  • Partner with the Automation team to ensure end-of-line 3DQC measures the correct attributes and thresholds defined by Principal Technicians.
  • Validate 3DQC performance (repeatability, drift, coverage) and ensure data is used for upstream improvement, not just sorting.
  • Build and operate a Red Rabbits (golden cases / known-defect sets) program to verify that human and automated QC reliably detect critical defects.
  • Use Red Rabbits to detect drift, trigger retraining, and validate changes.
  • Run DOEs to resolve spec disputes, validate changes, and improve process capability.
  • Define certification and re-certification requirements for manufacturing and QC roles.
  • Support audit readiness through clear standards, evidence, and sustained compliance.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in manufacturing quality, quality engineering, or technical operations (regulated manufacturing preferred).
  • Experience leading senior technical experts across multiple sites.
  • Strong applied statistics experience (AAA, SPC, DOE).
  • Lean Six Sigma Green or Black Belt (or equivalent experience).
  • Proven ability to translate qualitative feedback into measurable standards.
  • Willingness to travel ~30%.
