Associate Engineer - Instructional Design

This external worker provides independent quality control and inspection support for Instructional Design artwork deliverables and hands‑on support for physical human factors and user research stimuli. The role helps ensure that files and study materials are complete, accurate, traceable, and ready for their next cross‑functional review or process step. Instructional Design develops combination‑product instructions for use, carton artwork, primary labels, and human factors study stimuli.

This role provides the focused inspection and build capacity needed to help designers deliver accurate, high‑quality work while maintaining pace across concurrent programs. The individual will work within established procedures and review tools, exercise judgment on routine issues, coordinate corrections with designers, and promptly escape issues with potential quality, schedule, or cross‑functional impact.

Artwork quality control and inspection Perform detailed, independent internal quality control and inspection of Instructional Design files before distribution to cross‑functional stakeholders or advancement to the next process step.

Review labeling artwork files, including IFU, primary label, and carton, in accordance with SOP and associated requirements, approved references, and team procedures.

Inspect artwork for content alignment, layout integrity, legibility, version control, illustration and callout accuracy, print‑readiness considerations, and consistency with approved source content and design inputs.

Document inspection observations clearly, route findings to the responsible designer, verify that requested corrections have been addressed, and maintain inspection records as required by the process.

This role does not grant Quality‑system or regulatory approval.

Support continuous improvement of internal inspection checklists, job aids, and practical controls that reduce rework and prevent defects from reaching cross‑functional review.

Physical study stimuli build support Build and prepare physical study stimuli for Human Factors and Customer Experience activities, including printed IFUs, cartons, device labels, and assembled device or package configurations.

Prepare and edit print‑ready artwork and build files using Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, and comparable production software, following established file structure, approved artwork, and build instructions.

Operate in‑house production printers, including routine setup, material handling, print‑quality checks, and basic troubleshooting; escalation equipment issues requiring technical service.

Perform precise finishing work such as printing, trimming, cutting, folding, gluing, labeling, assembly, and final visual inspection to produce materials that accurately represent the intended study configuration.

Organize study materials, maintain clear identification and version control, and support efficient staging, packaging, receiving, and disposition of materials as assigned.

Photograph and document completed study stimuli and final assembled configurations to support build traceability, version control, study records, and efficient future reconstruction.

Provide responsive onsite support for compressed timelines and last‑minute changes to study materials or build needs.

Working relationships and operating expectations Partner closely with Instructional Design engineers and coordinate with Human Factors, Customer Insights, Artwork Center, Packaging Engineering, and other stakeholders as needed for assigned work.

Follow documented processes, protect controlled and confidential materials, and maintain an organized, inspection‑ready work area and file set.
