As part of Process Engineering team, the product labeling implementation manager will work to design and build a team and system for a common implementation of product labels across all of Intuitive's product lines, including robotic systems, instruments, accessories, endoscopes and FRU's (Field Replaceable Units). They will provide the leadership to build a team to establish best-practice standards for hardware, documentation, validation and implementation of labels with the accuracy required of a world-leading medical device manufacturer. The work will cover a variety of labeling systems and media such as in-line and purchased paper-based label printing, direct marking (e.g., laser marking), thermoform packaging with sterile barriers and custom cartons. Comprehensive knowledge and support of end-to-end labeling and packaging processes, equipment, and business systems will be used to establish, sustain, and continuously improve manufacturing and operations activities.

Roles & Responsibilities :

• Drive the interface between the label design and process engineering teams to ensure successful and standardized implementation of product labels in volume production.
• Provide input to the label design team to develop best-in-class product labeling and packaging solutions from early concept through commercialization for sterile and non-sterile medical devices.
• Use expertise with enterprise-scale business systems (e.g., SAP, Agile), manufacturing best-practices, and equipment to identify opportunities and improve work methods.
• Support product labeling and packaging needs from concept through end of life.
• Manage all projects to ensure internal and external compliance requirements have been met and are not on the critical path for product launch.
• Own all aspects of label implementation to meet design requirements and production release.
• Build a system of standards for hardware, software, documentation, validation and production implementation to achieve a standard workflow for label design changes.
• Drive, mentor, and grow a team of engineers to deliver above.
