Engineer , Product Design

Position Summary

The Engineer I, Product Design position in the Vascular Access Product Engineering team will have the opportunity to manage product design changes for post market product in the medical field while collaborating with Product Design Engineers, Systems Engineers, R&D Testing Labs, Marketing, Design Assurance, as well as internal and external Manufacturing teams. The primary focus of this role will be supporting the post market development and performing design verification of medical device components and products of varying complexity.

The engineer is responsible for developing and implementing design and development plans through adherence to established design control processes and good engineering and documentation practices. The position plays a key role in assisting in the supply continuity and compliance challenges involved with medical devices. Familiarity with Minitab and Solid Works, or comparable statistics and CAD software, is a plus.

• Organizes, plans, and executes formal design verification activities for small to medium scale design change projects. Supports similar activities for other projects of varying scale.
• Writes test protocols, performs test method validations and executes test plans, and authors test reports with data analysis and technical conclusions.
• Supports risk management activities through hazard analysis and design failure and effects analysis (DFMEA) and the identification and implementation of risk mitigation.
• Supports the analysis and evaluation of solutions to complex problems. Conducts investigations of varying complexity pertaining to the change in designs, methods, materials or processes, and investigates possible applications of the results.
• Assists in root cause analysis and the development and implementation of solutions for non-conforming events through the Corrective Actions and Preventable Actions (CAPA) process.
• Adheres to established design control processes and good engineering practices
• Designs and models components, devices, test fixtures, prototype/pilot tooling for various product lines using Solid Works
• Develops test procedures to ensure specifications and regulations are met
• Executes engineering and validation studies on products
• Work on special projects as assigned
