Meet the team: 

The San Diego Innovation Center is where new technologies, manufacturing processes, and product innovations are transformed from concept into scalable production solutions. Our pilot manufacturing teams support a dynamic portfolio of development and clinical builds across Sensors, Applicators, Test Lab, and other emerging capabilities. As a Manufacturing Supervisor, you will lead an agile team in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment, partnering with R&D, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, and Program Management to deliver safe, compliant, and predictable execution while preparing future products and processes for scale. 

Where you come in:

• Lead daily pilot manufacturing execution across assigned areas, translating changing program priorities into clear shift plans, staffing assignments, and build-readiness actions. 

• Ensure a safe, compliant work environment by reinforcing EHS requirements, quality systems, good documentation practices, and proactive risk identification. 

• Coordinate cross-functionally with R&D, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Planning, and Program Management to resolve constraints and keep development and clinical builds on schedule. 

• Confirm people, materials, equipment, documentation, training, and process requirements are ready before build start; escalate risks early with clear owners and recovery plans. 

• Coach and develop manufacturing associates and leads through daily direction, skills development, cross-training, performance feedback, and consistent accountability. 

• Use operational data, including schedule adherence, yield, downtime, cycle time, and labor utilization, to identify trends and drive practical improvements. 

• Apply lean manufacturing, 6S, visual management, and standardized work to improve safety, quality, flow, flexibility, and turnaround time in a high-mix pilot environment. 

• Support new product introduction, process development, technology transfer, and controlled documentation updates, including work instructions, build records, and bills of material. 

• Partner with the Manufacturing Manager to balance near-term execution with capacity, capability, and resource planning for the evolving Innovation Center portfolio. 

What makes you successful:

• You have 2+ years of experience in medical device manufacturing or another FDA-regulated environment. 

• You have demonstrated experience leading teams in a fast-paced manufacturing, pilot plant, new product introduction, or development-build environment; 4+ years of supervisory or leadership experience is preferred. 

• You communicate clearly in writing and verbally, set expectations, provide timely escalation, and build alignment across technical and operational teams. 

• You are comfortable managing changing priorities, incomplete information, and competing program needs while maintaining safety, quality, and compliance. 

• You can interpret manufacturing data, identify root causes, and convert findings into sustainable actions that improve execution and readiness. 

• You demonstrate a hands-on leadership style, sound judgment, accountability, and a commitment to developing people and strengthening team capability. 

• Lean manufacturing, continuous improvement, 6S, and standardized work education or practical experience is preferred.
