Staff Supplier Project Engineer (Hybrid - Acton, MA)

The Staff Supplier Project Engineer is a key member of the Supplier Engineering group, which is part of Insulet’s Supply Chain organization. Insulet manages a global supply chain and sources precision components and commodities from around the world for use in its devices. The Staff Supplier Project Engineer leads cross functional teams including with peers and leaders in R&D , Management, Quality, Sourcing and Manufacturing to implement new capital tooling and equipment at suppliers, to carry out new product introductions, execute internal cross functional and supplier improvement projects, resolve business-critical technical issues, and investigate and lead corrective actions in response to quality issues across the supply base. Staff Supplier Project Engineers lead multiple projects at one time so the ability to organize one’s own time is a must. As a growing company, project progress must be documented in a standard way so that team members can support each other during vacations and other critical times. They would be expected to not only learn and follow standardized documentation but also to originate and support initiatives to improve the standardization of all projects at Insulet as well as act as a resource for more less experienced. Although we strive for standardization, there are often complex situations that require new perspectives to achieve the best outcomes. They would be expected to identify solutions and work through or improve existing processes to implement those solutions.  The ideal candidate has project management experience leading teams including suppliers of custom precision components for use in medical devices. Candidates should enjoy the factory setting and be comfortable interfacing with and influencing supplier personnel ranging from shop floor operators to leadership.
