• Work within the Design Development Process (DDP) to design products for and with our customers, primarily in the medical device, drug delivery, and diagnostic industries.
• Use CAD systems like Solid Works or Creo to create 3D models, assemblies, and tolerance stack-up analyses that meet product requirements and verify fit, form, and function.
• Develop appropriate assembly and test fixtures to aid in the manufacture and testing of the design.
• Integrate supplied/identified electronic elements as necessary into the design.
• Develop appropriate drawings to detail product and assembly specifications and tolerances in a manner compliant with ASME or other design standards (i.e. ISO).
• Maintain a design journal and design documentation that identify product risk and track design changes throughout the DDP, and contribute to design reviews, risk assessments (e.g., DFMEA), and design history file content.
• Participate in concept ideation sessions.

• Apply design for manufacturability, assembly, and automation (DFM/DFA) principles to injection-molded components and assemblies.
• Collaborate with tooling, molding, manufacturing, quality, and automation engineers to resolve design and process issues, including mold design reviews, tool trials, and first-article inspection, and recommend design or tooling changes.
• Build, test, and evaluate prototypes (including 3D-printed parts) to confirm designs and support design verification activities.
• Prepare design documentation and contribute to design reviews, risk assessments (e.g., DFMEA), and design history file content.
• Select materials and components based on performance, cost, regulatory, and manufacturing requirements.
• Follow quality system requirements, including design controls (e.g., ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR 820) and company procedures.

• 5+ years of CAD experience (Solid Works or Creo) with plastic injection-molded products or molds
• Experience designing injection molding processes at the component and assembly level
• Design for Manufacturability (DFM) experience focused on plastic injection molding assembly methods such as snaps, sonic welding, press fit, sealing and joining methods
