We Are The People Who Give Possibilities Purpose

BD is one of the largest global medical technology companies in the world. Advancing the world of health is our Purpose, and it’s no small feat. It takes the imagination and passion of all of us—from design and engineering to manufacturing and marketing of billions of Med Tech products per year—to look at the impossible and find transformative solutions that turn dreams into possibilities.

• Product Design Team: ensure product is designed to enable a manufacturing process that can produce product efficiently (target COGS) and meet required quality standards.
• Unit Quality Team: ensure equipment is designed/manufactured in compliance with regulatory requirements/industry standards.
• Production Team: design equipment for efficient production, support the manufacturing process, and ensure equipment is easy to operate, maintain, reliable, and operates efficiently from handover through hyper‑care to meet production targets.
• Maintenance/Engineering Team: ensure maximum equipment uptime and design for easy maintenance/repair; maintain and service equipment according to recommended schedules and procedures.
• Procurement & Vendors: ensure components meet standards/safety and can be sourced timely and cost‑effectively.
• Plant Quality Team: ensure equipment operates within specified tolerances and products meet required quality & regulatory standards.
• Program Management Team: ensure that the project meets specified requirements, that equipment is delivered on time and within budget.
• Finance team: support Cap Ex planning, forecasting, and reporting.
• Process & Equipment Design and Development: lead the design and development of assembly, packaging, automation, inspection, and manufacturing equipment, including mechanical, electrical, controls, vision, robotics, and software elements.
• Translate product, process, quality, and capacity requirements into robust equipment and automation concepts.
• Define, create, review, and maintain User Requirement Specifications (URS) aligned with manufacturing, quality, regulatory, safety, and business needs.
• Develop and evaluate multiple technical solutions and concepts, considering risk, robustness, scalability, standardization, cost, and lifecycle impact.
• Develop innovative concepts for mechanical systems and automation based on project requirements, industry trends, and BD standards.
• Create, review, or approve 3D models, 2D drawings, layouts, and system architectures generated internally or by suppliers.
• Perform or review engineering analyses and simulations (e.g., stress, strain, thermal, airflow, cycle time) to validate and optimize designs.
• Lead and participate in design reviews, risk assessments, machine safety reviews, and FMEA activities to ensure compliance, safety, reliability, and performance.
• Verify relationships between Key Process Input Variables (KPIVs) and Key Process Output Variables (KPOVs).
• Support Proof of Concept (POC) activities and Design of Experiments (DOE) to establish process windows, baselines, and capability metrics.
• Optimize equipment designs to improve manufacturability, operability, ergonomics, maintainability, changeover time, reliability, and total cost of ownership.
• Capture, analyze, and leverage process and equipment performance data from existing production lines to inform new designs and improvements.
• Provide detailed technical and cost input for capital justification activities (e.g., CB-2), including equipment cost, engineering effort, validation scope, risk, and implementation timeline.
• Supplier & Capital Project Leadership: lead and coordinate external suppliers, system integrators, and equipment vendors throughout the full project lifecycle.
• Support and lead vendor selection in partnership with Procurement, including RFQs, technical evaluations, supplier capability and risk assessments.
• Define and manage supplier technical scope, cost, lead time, risks, deliverables, and interfaces.
• Review and approve supplier designs, specifications, software architecture, electrical and mechanical schematics, and safety concepts.
• Plan, witness, and approve Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), including definition…
