Process Engineer

At IDEXX, our purpose is to enhance the health and well-being of pets, people, and livestock. We develop diagnostics, software, and services that help veterinarians around the world detect illness earlier, make confident decisions, and give pets longer, healthier lives. Every instrument, test, and consumable we build ends up in a clinic where a pet is waiting for answers, and the engineers who keep our manufacturing operations running are a big part of that.

As a Process Engineer in Manufacturing Process Development (MPD), you will play a key role in developing, scaling up, and optimizing the manufacturing processes that support IDEXX products. The Manufacturing Process Development team collaborates closely with Product Development, Manufacturing, and Quality to translate new product designs into robust, efficient, and high-quality production processes]

Our Roswell site is home to OPTI Medical, an IDEXX company that designs and manufactures point-of-care blood gas and electrolyte analyzers and related consumables for human healthcare. The site also produces electrolyte slides and other consumables that power IDEXX veterinary analyzers, including the Catalyst One and Catalyst Dx chemistry analyzers. The equipment your team supports directly enables life-saving diagnostics for both people and pets.

Why this role matters:

Every IDEXX product depends on a manufacturing process that is consistent, scalable, and well controlled. In this role, you'll help bring new products to market and keep existing ones running efficiently, which directly supports the veterinarians, pet owners, and customers who rely on our products.

• You'll keep processes ISO compliant by developing specifications for process output and determining test methods to confirm compliance.
• You'll write SOPs and work instructions and train team members on the methods and techniques involved.
• You'll partner with Product Development, Manufacturing, Quality, Engineering, and outside vendors to plan and carry out work.
• You'll apply Lean, Six Sigma, and other quality and reliability improvement techniques, and take part in related projects.
• You'll learn the technical details of the products you support and become a go-to expert on them.
• You'll manage tasks and projects from start to finish and work toward your goals with guidance from more experienced engineers.

What you need to succeed:
