## Job description

Primary Function of Position The Manufacturing Rework Process Author (IPC Author Specialist) creates, reviews, and maintains accurate In-Process Correction (IPC) instructions, also called manufacturing rework processes, in SAP Manufacturing Execution (SAP ME). The role converts approved rework process flows and current-state IPC documentation into clear, executable SAP ME-based IPCs; coordinates Manufacturing Engineering and manufacturing review and approval; and supports dry-run validation for critical or high-risk IPCs before production use.

The position authors new IPCs and updates existing IPCs to help reduce production disruption, nonconformance risk, rework, and IT escalations caused by incomplete or incorrect IPC content. The specialist in this position will support activities like development, validation and maintenance of instruments and / or accessories packaging processes across the company, according to the criteria established in internal procedures (SOP’s, WI’s) and the quality standards applicable to the medical industry, to guarantee the integrity of the finished product.

### Essential Job Duties

IPC Authoring & Maintenance: Author new and revised IPCs directly in SAP ME using approved rework process flows, controlled source documents, line information, and input from Manufacturing Engineers and subject matter experts.

### Legacy IPC Conversion

Review current-state and legacy IPC content and partner with Manufacturing Engineering to organize it into meaningful, executable subsets for SAP ME authoring.

### Content Accuracy & Execution Readiness

Refine IPC content using SAP ME execution learnings, SP Instrument experience, approved process requirements, and Manufacturing Engineer feedback. Ensure instructions are clear, complete, correctly sequenced, and practical for manufacturing execution.

### Cross-Functional Review & Approval

Coordinate review, correction, and approval with Manufacturing Engineers, Manufacturing Trainers, Product Quality, and other required stakeholders.

### Dry-Run Validation

Plan and support dry runs of critical or high-risk IPCs using dummy work orders in SAP ME before production use. Document issues and drive corrections to closure.

### Risk Identification & Escalation

Identify content or system gaps that may cause production stoppage, rework, nonconformance, or IT escalation, and escalate them before release.

### Planning & Traceability

Maintain authoring status, review comments, approvals, validation evidence, and readiness for assigned IPCs.

### Standards & Continuous Improvement

Develop and apply reusable authoring standards, templates, checklists, and best practices to improve consistency and authoring efficiency.

### Translation Coordination

Coordinate with Spanish and German translators on translation of authored IPCs in SAP ME.

### Document Control & Change Management

Create, revise, release, and maintain applicable engineering documents, parts, bills of materials, and engineering change orders using PLM and SAP ME systems while ensuring compliance, traceability, and documentation integrity.

### Knowledge Transfer

Provide knowledge transfer so Manufacturing Engineers can update and maintain IPCs over the long term and share workload and best practices with engineering teams.

### Rollout & Stabilization Support

Support current and future SAP ME rollouts, including authoring waves, stabilization updates, and lessons learned.

## Qualifications

### Required Skills and Experience

Strong command of the English language, both written and spoken (85%). Strong technical writing skills with the ability to convert complex engineering information into precise, easy-to-follow manufacturing instructions.

Required Education and Training Bachelor's degree in manufacturing, mechanical, industrial, biomedical, systems engineering, technical documentation, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.

Working Conditions Primary onsite support in Mexicali is required to enable line walkthroughs, product understanding, and access to line layout information. Periodic travel to manufacturing sites, including Sunnyvale, may be required based on rollout and product needs (10% travel). This is a business and manufacturing documentation role within Intuitive Process Engineering, not an IT solution role.
