• Collaborating cross-functionally with manufacturing, design assurance, regulatory, and project management to ensure designs meet user needs, business requirements, and comply with all regulations
• Taking direction, working independently, working through others, and contributing to technical strategy within the team…depending on the circumstances
• Conduct risk assessments, design reviews, and facilitating/organizing verification/validation testing
• Verbal and written communication to enable effective stakeholder management
• Mentor junior engineers, technicians, and even interns

Required qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering
• 5 years’ experience in a regulated industry
• Familiarity with prints & solid modeling
