- Engineering Excellence: Apply advanced engineering theory to establish robust technical product requirements and develop reliable design solutions. Use Digital Twins to verify that devices consistently meet performance requirements across the full product lifecycle. Rigorously assess design robustness and reliability through simulation-based methods, including finite element analysis (FEA), tolerance analysis, and other predictive engineering tools.
- Design for Manufacturing : Leverage deep expertise in injection molding, tool design, and mold flow analysis to ensure designs are optimized for large-scale production.
- Design Control: Author design control documentation (Design Development Plans, URS, Design Inputs/Outputs, Design Verification Plans, and DHF creation/maintenance), conformity assessments, and risk management documentation.
- Project Management: Forecast and plan resource demands for device development projects. Execute projects within the agreed time, quality, and cost constraints, utilizing Lean management principles to drive efficiency and state-of-the-art results.
- Compliance: Apply knowledge of the regulatory landscape to ensure standard compliant designs (e.g., ISO 13485, 21CFR820, ISO 14971, and 21 CFR 820.30).
Who You Are
- Education: You have a university-level education (engineering degree or related discipline).
- Experience: You have a minimum 10-year proven track record in mechanical engineering and drug delivery device development in pharma or other closely regulated environments (cGxP, QSR).
- Specialization: You have hands-on Pen injector / Auto injector development expertise.
- Technical Toolbox: You possess strong engineering expertise including CAD construction, Simulation (FEM, Monte Carlo), reliability engineering, and Material Science.
- Analytical Skills: You have demonstrable knowledge of Tolerance Analysis, statistical techniques, process capability, and manufacturing processes.
- Regulatory Savvy: You have sound knowledge of legislation, industry standards, and experience with Health Authority interactions.
- Methodology: You have a demonstrated application of Lean management principles in a technical development environment.
- Communication: You possess excellent documentation, presentation, and interpersonal communication skills.
- Languages: You have an excellent command of the English language; proficiency in German is preferable.
