• Stay updated on process mechanical engineering trends and emerging technologies.
• Provide technical expertise and collaboration with acquirers, suppliers, and solution delivery teams.
• Maintain current knowledge of medical device Design Controls, Verification and Validation methodologies, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, FDA Design Controls, and applicable international standards.

Tooling Expertise

• Assist in tooling activities by providing technical expertise and collaboration in injection molding tooling.
• Stay updated on injection molding trends and emerging technologies, such as micromolding.

Project Leadership and Management

• Assist in project leadership by establishing project technical scope, priorities, and execution sequences; aligning technical scope with team member skill sets; and informing and consulting with project, supplier, and acquirer leadership on technical status, challenges, and options to ensure projects meet objectives for scope, time, and budget.

Design and Engineering

• Assist in design activities by analyzing stakeholder needs; identifying, negotiating, prioritizing, and quantifying solution architecture and functional elements.
• Conduct and document design reviews in collaboration with team members, suppliers, and acquirers.
• Assist in engineering activities by identifying, negotiating, prioritizing, and quantifying mechanical and electrical packages and components.
• Analyze and implement CAD-generated drawings and schematics.
• Assist in risk management activities by conducting, documenting, reviewing, and updating Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), and Control Plans.
• Lead the planning, development, and execution of Design Verification activities for medical devices and combination products.

Delivery and Implementation

• Design, engineer, and validate industry-compliant assembly and packaging solutions for production readiness, including documentation packages.
• Engage and monitor procurement, fabrication, assembly, and solution integration activities and processes.
• Provide oversight as appropriate to project agreements and collaborate on integrating solutions into a production environment.

Verification and Testing

• Participate in the execution and review of verification activities.
• Identify and document process verification items, cases, and scripts.
• Define, document, and conduct Design of Experiments (DOE).
• Ensure the highest level of compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and quality control requirements.

Advocacy and Stakeholder Engagement

• Engage suppliers as active stakeholders on the acquirer's behalf and inform acquirers of technical challenges and solution options.
• Advise and consult on product design impacts related to manufacturing, assembly, and packaging.
• Engage, inform, advise, and consult with acquirers, suppliers, and solution delivery teams.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering , Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 2–5 years of experience in Mechanical Engineering or a related role.
