• Act as technical lead on multiple complex, integrated projects utilizing advanced engineering design methods.
• Ensure systems integration and continuity of system architecture roadmap across multiple discrete projects.
• Develop and drive an innovative design process to ensure development activities meet standards for quality, cost, and delivery.
• Design, analyze, prototype, test and troubleshoot mechanisms and cosmetic parts using a variety of digital design tools, with emphasis on design best practices and compliance with relevant regulatory requirements.
• Use equipment such as 3D printers, lasers, manual and CNC mills to prototype parts and instruments for test with strain gages, etc.
• Contribute to product risk analysis, usability, verification, and certification test efforts in pursuit of medical product certifications.
• Oversee development of prototypes and fabrication of working electromechanical mockups.
• Incorporate requirements of Leadership, Product Development, Clinical Verification, Quality/Regulatory, and Certification teams to understand and communicate project challenges and develop innovative solutions.
• Interface with manufacturing partners to resolve issues during design transfer and transition to mass production.
• Design and review manufacturing test fixtures and procedures, review and approving initial production samples, analyze and test field returns to determine root cause of failure and propose and implement corrective actions.
• Identify and escalation issues/risks facing Product Development Teams and work with cross functional management teams to develop solutions.
• Organize and lead project update presentations and design reviews, preparing visual materials for describing complex systems control and mechanical concepts (such as screenshots, photos, and videos) for internal team, supplier, and sales/marketing communication.
• Continuously improve the process by researching and proposing innovative technology enablers (e.g., materials, processors, com ic, etc.)
• Recognize and target potential areas for IP protection and work with legal team to develop patent applications.
• Participate in ISO and AAMI standards development.
• Maintain consistent messaging throughout including professional communication deliverables.
