Process Engineer, Markham

Role Summary The Process Engineer leads process development, scale‑up, and validation for ultrasound transducer manufacturing. Drawing on strong mechanical aptitude and materials knowledge (metals/alloys, ceramics, composites, adhesives), this role drives yield, throughput, and quality by owning process transfer, troubleshooting complex issues, and introducing new technologies.

Key Responsibilities

Own transfer from development to production: define process flows, specifications, inspection criteria; lead pilot builds and IQ/OQ/PQ validations.

Improve and sustain subtractive/precision processes (e.g., dicing saws, CNC micro‑machining, thinning/lapping, bonding/curing); set equipment parameters and preventive maintenance.

Lead structured problem solving: perform root cause analysis, implement CAPA, and maintain robust documentation (PFMEA, test methods, drawings, reports).

Apply materials science to optimize acoustic stack processing (backings, matching layers, piezo‑ceramics/polymers); investigate and qualify new materials, tooling, and processes.

Use DOE/SPC and data visualisation to manage yield, cycle time, and cost, report on process capability and control plans.

Partner with Manufacturing/Operations on capacity planning and scalability; assess and qualify suppliers and external processes.

Coach/mentor junior engineers and technicians; champion compliance to ISO 13485 and support FDA QSR expectations.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s in Mechanical/Manufacturing/Materials Engineering (or related).

3+ years’ experience in process/manufacturing engineering, preferably in medical devices or precision manufacturing with high traceability.

Demonstrated success in process scale‑up, validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), and production transfer.

Depth in precision/subtractive processes, micro‑assembly, adhesive/epoxy handling, and tooling/fixturing.

Proficiency with statistical methods and tools (DOE, SPC; Minitab/JMP).

Experience with piezo‑ceramics, advanced polymers, metallization, soldering, or PCBA processes is an asset.

Strong cross‑functional leadership, documentation rigor, and communication skills.

Salary Range CAD$65,000– $80,000 annually.
