Manufacturing Process Analyst / Engineer

Manufacturing Science & Technology (MSAT) serves as the global enabling function for the Sensors & Cartridges (S&C) network. Their mandate spans from supporting early-stage concept ideas to delivering seamless design transfers into routine manufacturing and driving sustainable product care across the entire product lifecycle.

They are organized into technology areas and multidisciplinary Squads supported by Chapters. By combining deep technical expertise, continuous learning, and systems thinking, they constantly improve manufacturing operations across our global network. Their daily collaboration is grounded in four core values: Courage, Transparency, Open-Mindedness, and a Can-Do Attitude.
