- Perform technology scouting and technical evaluations to identify suitable device solutions.
- Design, prototype, and run lab-based testing and simulations to verify device function, safety, and reliability.
- Identify and drive mitigation for technical, manufacturing and regulatory risks.
- Prepare and maintain core device documentation such as design history files, risk management files, and technical reports.
- Work with internal teams and external partners to support design for manufacturability and scale-up.
- Act as technical lead for the device ensuring Critical Process Parameters are identified, understood, monitored and controlled.
- Actively participate in the investigation team for device and equipment related issues. Lead quality investigations, RCA and CAPA associated with the device.
- Drive the improvement of unit operation process capability and batch yields. Specifically, be accountable for Cost of Goods and Cost of Waste improvements.
- Responsible for delivering key technical activities including NPI trials and planned change implementation.
- Lead/support development work in support of equipment installations and validation.
- Maintain a strong level of validation understanding and proficiencies within life cycle management, including expertise in design controls, manufacturing technologies and upcoming combination products for commercialization.
- Able to perform technical coaching of operators to ensure knowledge transfer to the manufacturing shop floor allowing operators to improve their accountability and timeliness of issue resolution.
- Lead/support risk management activities through the life cycle for devices and conduct periodic risk reviews based on ISO requirements.
- Create/Maintain Device History Files. Provide technical SME input for complaints related to the device
