Manufacturing Process Engineer JN -102025-167331
We are adding a hands‑on ePTFE Process Engineer to our growing team who will own deep process understanding, refine production steps end‑to‑end, and translate material science into stable, high‑yield manufacturing. If you have experience optimizing variables from resin and lubricant through extrusion, stretching, and sintering to deliver predictable node‑fibril microstructures and consistent performance across tubes, sheets, membranes, and vents, apply today!
Process Engineer Benefits
100% top‑tier employee paid health insurance benefits
401(k) with match
Flexible work environment with work/home balance
Generous PTO and sick days
Inclusive and collaborative work environment
Process Engineer Qualifications
5+ years in polymer or film process engineering; ePTFE/PTFE/fluoropolymer experience preferred
Proven ownership of extrusion, stretch, and sinter workflows and web/tube handling fundamentals (tension control, alignment)
Proficiency in DOE, SPC, Cp/Cpk, MSA/GR&R, and statistics software (Minitab or JMP)
Experience with regulated manufacturing environments (ISO 13485 / 21 CFR 820) and validation protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ, change control)
Ability to design and interpret experiments linking microstructure → property → application
BS/MS in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Polymer/Plastics, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
Process Engineer Responsibilities Include
Define and stabilize robust process windows for paste mixing, preform/aging, ram or paste extrusion, calendaring, multiaxial stretch, sintering, skiving/slitting, and winding
Maintain “golden batch” definitions, process recipes, and parameter limits; author and update SOPs and work instructions
Qualify resin grades, lubricant systems, and processing aids; manage supplier variability and change control
Lead test method development and metrology capability (GR&R) across lab and in‑line inspection
Plan and execute IQ/OQ/PQ for equipment and processes; develop PFMEA and control plans
Operate within ISO 13485 & 21 CFR 820 for medical and ISO 9001 for industrial lines; support audits and CAPA/NCR closure
Collaborate with Equipment Engineering on automation, sensor integration, and SCADA/data capture improvements
Lead tech transfer from R&D to production; own capability studies and PPAP‑like documentation
Partner with Supply Chain on resin/lubricant dual‑sourcing and QC parameters to protect yield
