Senior Supplier Project Engineer
The Senior Staff Supplier Project Engineer is a key member of the Supplier Engineering group, which is part of Insulet’s Supply Chain organization. Insulet manages a global supply chain and sources precision components and commodities from around the world for use in its devices. The Senior Staff Supplier Project Engineer leads cross functional teams including with peers and leaders in Quality, Sourcing and Manufacturing to implement new capital tooling and equipment at suppliers, to carry out new product introductions, execute internal cross functional and supplier improvement projects, resolve business-critical technical issues, and investigate and lead corrective actions in response to quality issues across the supply base. Senior Staff Supplier Project Engineers lead multiple complex programs and projects at one time so the ability to organize one’s own time is a must. Senior Staff Project Engineers may also lead teams of engineers on more complex programs. As a growing company, project progress must be documented in a standard way so that team members can support each other during vacations and other critical times. A Senior Supplier Engineer would be expected to not only learn and follow standardized documentation but also to identify best practices, originate and support initiatives to improve the standardization of all projects at Insulet as well as act as a resource for more less experienced. Although we strive for standardization, there are often complex situations that require new perspectives to achieve the best outcomes. A Senior Staff Supplier Engineer would be expected to identify best practices, solutions and work through or improve existing processes to implement those solutions.
The ideal candidate has project management experience leading teams including suppliers of custom precision components for use in medical devices.
