The Engineer (Level I) will perform precision braiding of implantable components within a cleanroom environment. The Engineer will ensure manufacturing excellence by operating advanced machinery, maintaining rigorous quality documentation, and supporting process validations. The Engineer will contribute to the development of new process and product introduction as delegated by the Management Team and will complete assigned work in a manner which complies with the standards and procedures to which the company adheres and in line with Customer requirements.
The associate in this role has the authority and responsibility to:
- Design experiments, analyze data, and optimize processes to meet performance and regulatory requirements
- Collaborate with a diverse team of scientists and engineers to ensure project alignment with the Customers/Legal Manufacturers regulatory and quality standards
- Comply with Quality, Regulatory and company policies and systems
- Communicate with cross-functional teams, senior management, and business unit leaders.
- Maintain comprehensive records, documentation, and reports to ensure regulatory compliance and intellectual property protection (where applicable).
- Take ownership of assigned projects, managing timelines, budgets, and resources effectively.
- Remain on the forefront of emerging industry practices
- Work closely with the Customer/Legal Manufacturer and/or Internal resources to execute high-precision braiding operations using Nitinol wire and polymer filaments, ensuring all products meet established engineering drawings and performance specifications.
- Contribute to process development, prototyping, and testing under minimal supervision
- Carry out process development, validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), and risk management activities (e.g. pFMEA)
- Develop prototypes which are consistent with the customers’ clinical and design requirements
- Develop test method designs and support execution of test method validation
- Stay abreast of emerging developments in Nitinol processing, braiding technologies, and evolving ISO/FDA regulatory standards to ensure the continuous improvement of manufacturing practices.
