Your role:

  • Responsible for leading and monitoring the implementation of process development activities for high complexity projects, integrating lean manufacturing methodologies, completing Manufacturing BOMs, developing industrialization concepts and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure project success independently.

  • Contributes to the development of industrialization concepts and product solutions aligned with target manufacturing objectives and fosters seamless integration between design and production processes.

  • Initiates and oversees process technology development activities in the context of New Product Generation as well as product and solution technology roadmap.

  • Prioritizes adherence to safety, regulatory, and environmental requirements, along with compliance with local laws and company policies, during the execution of highly complex processes and standards.

  • Your skills include strong capabilities in Stakeholder Management and Change Management.

  • You must be able to successfully perform the following minimum Physical, Cognitive and Environmental job requirements with or without accommodation for this position.

  • Lean Six Sigma or equivalent certification.

How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.

Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities.

Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.

This role is an onsite role.

About Philips:

We are a health technology company. We built our entire company around the belief that every human matters, and we won't stop until everybody everywhere has access to the quality healthcare that we all deserve. Do the work of your life to help improve the lives of others.
