Lexingtonmedical Manufacturing Engineering Intern at Lexington Medical to monitor production line performance and own a process improvement project. Work alongside operators and technicians to troubleshoot and analyze manufacturing processes.
Responsibilities
As a Manufacturing Engineering Intern at Lexington Medical, you will work alongside manufacturing engineering on an operating line producing AEONTM surgical stapling products. Day to day, you will monitor line performance, troubleshoot equipment and process issues in real time with operators and technicians, analyze process data for trends, and propose changes such as fixturing updates or workflow revisions. Alongside that, you will own one manufacturing improvement project end to end, aligning with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Quality as you go. Because all three groups work in the same building in Bedford, getting that alignment means walking down the hall rather than waiting on a meeting invite.
Monitor line performance metrics, including yield, downtime, and cycle time.
Partner with operators and technicians to troubleshoot equipment and process issues in real time.
Perform repairs and maintenance on custom production equipment.
Participate in daily and weekly production support meetings.
Assess current processes for bottlenecks and inefficiencies and analyze process data to identify trends and improvement opportunities.
Generate solutions, such as fixturing updates or workflow changes, and present them to the larger manufacturing team.
Implement approved changes by training operators, commissioning equipment, or making other line changes as needed.
Own a manufacturing improvement project from concept through implementation and present the outcome to engineering leadership.
