Do you enjoy developing new equipment and processes – with all the collaboration and discoveries that go with it? Are you ready to take on the responsibility for driving a development project all the way to production? Would you enjoy going to work every day knowing that your results make a difference? Then join us and be part of something unique – this position will provide you with excellent opportunities for personal and professional development.

The position

As our new colleague, you will be responsible for developing robust and cost-effective injection moulding tools. You will review the design of new plastic components and challenge specifications based on manufacturing capabilities. In collaboration with mould makers and with your colleagues in production support, you develop the right technical solutions based on a well-documented set of requirements. You take the mould through an extensive period of testing and process optimization to ensure proper functionality, resulting in the targeted output of plastic components that fulfill all specifications.

To ensure the safety of the patients using our dosage systems, everything we do must adhere to a well-defined set of regulations and quality standards. New processes and equipment must be qualified and validated to ensure that they comply with these standards. You play an important role in supporting the validation of newly developed moulds based on the requirements that are critical to the quality of the produced components.

This position offers a high level of collaboration across the organization and with external suppliers. As such it is crucial to maintain good relationships with people inside and outside our organization. You will collaborate with the strategic sourcing managers to select suppliers and reach out to production operators to understand their value drivers. Product developers provide crucial input to the future manufacturing needs for new dosage systems, and you will align with quality assurance professionals to ensure compliance with regulatory standards – just to name a few of the many places where your face will quickly become familiar.

You will also be part of the global support of Novo Nordisk manufacturing lines. This means that your experience and knowledge will benefit colleagues in our sites all over the world, and that you can count on a large support network of experienced experts when solving the challenges of your new job. Together, you will be identifying root causes to unexpected events or deviations from specifications, provide solutions to the issues and implement relevant preventive measures

Qualifications

Perhaps you have been employed at a mould maker for some time as a mechanical designer or supporting customers like Novo Nordisk with application and process development.
