Job Description:
This process development engineering position works in close
cross-functional collaboration with other process engineers and the
Innovation, Commercialization and Operations teams to bring new
innovation from the feasibility stage through to production-scale
capability and readiness, achieving successful and on-time
production launches.Priorities include executing process
engineering, development, and scale-up of food manufacturing
processes which successfully deliver production manufacturing lines
with demonstrated process capability that produce in specification
product for commercial launch programs and initiatives.This role
requires executing successful process engineering work for pilot
product-by-process development and scale-up through commissioning
and verification of production-intent capability and readiness of
the manufacturing processes and equipment.The ideal candidate will
be a process engineer with successful experience in applying robust
science and data capture in executing food process development work
from pilot stage through to the commissioning and qualification of
new product introductions into high volume production for
commercial launches. - The individual must demonstrate
self-initiative in organizing, executing, and delivering
value-added results and process engineering deliverables that are
aligned with assigned project objectives and scope.Key
Accountabilities / Objectives:Effectively communicates,
coordinates, and executes within process engineering and the
cross-functional product commercialization team to assure well
aligned and delivered process engineering learnings, achievements,
and ultimate production line capabilities and results.Works
collaboratively between Innovation, Commercialization, and
Operations teams on new and renovated product development and
introduction programs to assure that the product and its
production-intent processes meet program objectives,
manufacturability, timelines, and cost targets.Effectively executes
assigned process engineering work in the development of
product-by-process, the scale-up and commissioning of manufacturing
processes and equipment, and the final verification of their
capabilities and readiness necessary to achieve successful product
launches and high-volume production.Organizes and conducts process
engineering development, process and equipment trials, process
design, specification, commissioning, and verification of food
manufacturing processes and equipment for production-intent
capability, scale, and readiness.Strong communication skills and
ability to create collaborative relationships across all functions
of the organization.Key Scope of Responsibilities:Execute and
complete -process engineering projects and activities required for
the successful development and commercialization of food
manufacturing processes and equipment which include:Assessing and
identifying existing or new food manufacturing process equipment
and technology solutions for new or renovated products being
pursued. Ability to assess which creative ideas and suggestions
will work and project them into the future.Advancing
product-by-process development from the feasibility stage to final
new product introduction and production launch. - Doing so by
working collaboratively with the various commercialization,
innovation, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams
throughout the process.Designing and running effective DOEs,
sensitivity, scaling, and process capability trials.Developing and
achieving product-by-process viability and
design-for-manufacturability at pilot scale which is scalable and
capable of meeting project objectives. Identifying key product and
process parameters and scaling factors necessary for production
scale-up and success.Ensuring quality and food safety critical
control points and requirements are built into the equipment and
processes.Establishing engineering specifications and providing
engineering oversight for equipment and associated tooling
selection, procurement, installation, and commissioning.Developing
cost estimates, budgets (capital and expense), and associated plans
for the process engineering portion of project activities,
equipment, and tooling requirements.Implementing and verifying
production-scale process capability. - Establishing the production
process parameters, criteria, and capabilities for materials,
processes, and equipment for production readiness and
launch.Achieving reliable, scalable, and cost-effective processes
and equipment solutions in the commercialization of new and
renovated products launched into production.Problem solving ability
to simplify complex processes/situations and figure out the steps
to get things done in practice.Customer service orientation that
seeks to understand and anticipate the needs of others, while
practicing attentive and active listening and flexing style to meet
the requirements of changing situations.Develop perspectives that
paint credible visions of possibilities and ability to integrate
different ideas and points of view.Drive for results that faces
challenges head-on. Quickly senses what will help or hinder
accomplishing a goal and ability to adjust for roadblocks,
measuring performance against goals.Travel to facilities and
suppliers in North America, and at times internationally. - Must be
willing to travel 50% of the time.
