Project Engineer/Manager

The client is initiating a critical transformation in how critical components are marked and identified across the business. The project focuses on evolving existing marking methods toward laser marking and 2D data matrix barcode implementation, enabling reliable traceability, improved quality control, and alignment with brand and regulatory strategy. The initiative has progressed through limited technical feasibility, conducted by a resource currently on rotation who will be moving to a next rotation. The next phase requires ownership through full implementation, including change control, extensive testing, and navigation of quality and regulatory processes.

• Project Objectives
• Implement a standardized approach for laser marking and 2D data matrix identification on a critical component
• Transition from feasibility into full-scale implementation
• Drive the change request (CR) through J&J quality systems
• Align marking strategy with brand, quality, and regulatory expectations
• Enable manufacturing-floor readability via camera-based systems (non‑complex)
• Ensure compliance within a medical device quality system
• Scope of Work
  
  

In Scope

• Manufacturing floor experience essential
  
  

Key Capabilities

• Navigate quality systems and create formal documentation
• Drive change control initiatives end‑to‑end
