    • Demonstrated understanding of the product development process.
    • Able to evaluate potential innovative technology areas relevant to products.

    PREFERRED QUALITIES AND TRAITS:   

    • Must be driven to seek out new opportunities, ask questions and keep pursuing things when information is limited or not given at all. 
    • Corrective actions require new thoughts and ideas on existing equipment or problems. Approach things with a broad scope at first and engineer solutions. 
    • This is a tough position. You are in the trenches doing work a lot of others don’t want to do. It’s a great opportunity to grow and learn a wide variety of skills but if you let things get to you it will show in your attitude towards others. Real positivity within you will show and make others more willing to work with you and drop their guards. 
    • Must be able to quickly turn information received into concise verbiage on paper. Complete stories must be told of events that occurred and actions to be taken, but should not use “fluff.” 
    • ACTUALLY listen to everyone’s input before forming your thoughts or replies. Operators and others in the plant have a wealth of process and product knowledge. Some are limited to their specific trade so it’s your job to take their information to the next level and fit it into the bigger puzzle. 
    • In the fast moving and changing industry of OTC and Pharma, things will change continuously. Must be able to adapt to the changes and continue making progress. 
    • General knowledge of project timelines and cost is important, but don’t let that limit you in the investigation and problem-solving phases. 
    • You won’t always be right, and that’s okay. There is a steep learning curve in this industry. Take in as much as possible and it will only benefit your future. 
    •  Must be patient and focused while also having a continuous sense of urgency.
