  • Work within a multi-disciplinary team, and closely with the capital equipment engineer(s) to identify specific clinical and device performance needs, appropriate specifications, and to develop appropriate design inputs and outputs.
  • Lead in the creation of detailed specifications, prototypes, and testing of new products, identifying, and collaborating with external suppliers and contract developers/manufacturers, as applicable, to ensure high quality and performance.
  • Ensure that assigned projects and/or products are designed to facilitate manufacturability and cost constraints, and lead technology transfer to internal or external manufacturing (to include development of manufacturing tools and/or aids as necessary)
  • Lead brainstorming sessions to generate new intellectual property and work with senior staff and/or attorneys to write and research patent claims.
  • Execute bench studies, experiments, and product testing, in accordance with protocols and project plans; collect, compile, and assess test data to derive technical conclusions and decisions; and create and release test reports.
  • Create and maintain documentation including design drawings, testing reports, engineering reports, and other technical documents in accordance with quality system requirements.
  • Oversee the activities of technicians and more junior level engineers in completing device testing/inspection and prototype construction, as applicable.
What You’ll Bring:
  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Biomedical, or related discipline) with 12+ years of related experience with BS degree or 8+ years with MS or Advanced degree; or equivalent combination of education and work experience in the medical device or related regulated industry.
  • 5+ years previous experience in a technical innovation role, with specific focus on the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of sterile, single use medical device related injection moulded consumable components, devices, and/or assemblies, such as high-pressure tubing, haemostasis valves, stopcocks, fluid fittings, manifolds, and fluidics cassettes.
  • Knowledge of fluid flow properties and test methods
  • Strong understanding of fabrication methods including machining, sheet metal, rapid prototyping, extrusion, adhesive and solvent bonding, and injection moulding, and materials associated with each method.
  • Experience and familiarity with statistical methods such as such as SPC, SQC, and DOE and use and implementation of Statistical Analysis Software (Minitab or similar)
  • Proficiency using SolidWorks, for designing and documenting device designs, tooling, and fixtures
  • Ability to complete projects individually as well as lead projects as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
  • Extensive experience in full R&D product life cycle (concept through regulatory approval/market release)
  • Experience with Design Control procedures and requirements and working under regulated quality systems such as GMPs, ISO 13485, and MDR
  • Demonstrated excellent written and verbal communications skills as a member of a cross functional team
