• You have extensive test development (fixture design, programming, test procedure and protocol development, etc.) and characterization experience, preferably in the medical device industry.
• You bring depth of knowledge in mechanical-based, multi-disciplinary products and technologies with background in related testing and metrology tools (e.g. mechanical devices, mechatronics, injection molded plastics, adhesives and coatings).
• You are skilled at data analysis methods and software (ex. JMP), with the ability to construct creatively designed experiments to solve complex problems and run MSA (measurement system analysis) to evaluate test method repeatability and reproducibility.
• You have demonstrated product development experience with proven ability to translate high level product requirements into technical requirements with applicable test methods.
• You have hands on experience and familiarity with various lab and measurement equipment and are adept at leveraging these tools at will to characterize parts and products.
• You thrive in environments where there is ambiguity or uncertainty in product requirements and have a willingness to try and test new ideas, coupled with a track record of success in a fast-paced R&D environment.
• You bring a spirit of innovation to challenge the status quo and pursue innovations in technology, product features, and business processes.
• You exercise judgment within defined procedures and policies to determine appropriate action.
