Are you passionate about turning innovative ideas into real-world manufacturing excellence? This role is for a Process Engineer supporting manufacturing operations within the Additive Manufacturing (AM) value stream.
Fueled by innovation at the intersection of biology and technology, we’re developing the next generation of smarter, less invasive, more personalized treatments.
Are you passionate about improving and expanding the possibilities of Orthopaedics? Ready to join a team that’s reimagining how we heal? Our Orthopaedics teams help keep more than 6 million people moving each year while delivering clinical and economic value to surgeons and healthcare systems. Our teams build solutions for joint reconstruction; trauma and craniomaxillofacial; sports, extremities, and elective foot and ankle; spine; and robotics and digital surgery.
Johnson & Johnson announced plans to separate our Orthopaedics business to establish a standalone orthopaedics company, operating as DePuy Synthes. The process of the planned separation is anticipated to be completed within 18 to 24 months, subject to legal requirements, including consultation with works councils and other employee representative bodies, as may be required, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions and approvals.
Should you accept this position, it is anticipated that, following conclusion of the transaction, you would be an employee of DePuy Synthes and your employment would be governed by DePuy Synthes employment processes, programs, policies, and benefit plans. In that case, details of any planned changes would be provided to you by DePuy Synthes at an appropriate time and subject to any necessary consultation processes.

- Define equipment and process requirements, lead solving of recurring issues, and partner with maintenance and calibration to improve equipment reliability and uptime.
- Apply and coach structured problem‑solving and risk assessment tools (FMEA, A3, Six Sigma) to identify root causes and implement robust long‑term corrective actions.
- Lead cost reduction and productivity initiatives (scrap/rework reduction, throughput improvements, consumables optimization) with measurable savings and sustainability impacts.
- Participate in day‑to‑day operations governance (pulse walks, production reviews) and bring up/handle operational risks to senior leadership as needed.
- Prepare, review and maintain technical content, manufacturing specifications, and change controls; ensure design and process changes follow the Quality Management System and regulatory requirements.
- Provide technical mentorship to engineers and technicians, champion continuous improvement culture, and support capability development across the organization.
- Contribute to capital project planning, budgeting, and prioritization for equipment upgrades and process automation.
