Job description

Our story began with a passionate idea that we could change the world.... And to be honest, we’ve never stopped believing that... In 1986 it was a simple concept that microbiology teamed with innovation and clinical contribution could eliminate an issue that was profoundly impacting the healthcare industry – HIV acquired through needle-stick injuries.

In Australia, we lived out our dream. Investing years into R&D to create the safest containment system in the world and taking on the industry status quo to petition for higher standards in sharps protection, we witnessed an 80+ percent reduction in disposal-related needlestick injuries nationwide. And then we kept going...

We are seeking a passionate Senior Product Development Engineer to join our global engineering team. This role involves working on various projects including product development, equipment engineering, and process improvements. The successful candidate will focus on the design, development, drafting, and documentation of solutions for Daniels Health businesses globally, following our design and development procedures. This role encompasses all product lines and equipment from inception to manufacture and roll-out, including project management, quality management, and supplier management.
