Role Summary/Purpose

The focus of the Life Cycle Engineering group is to provide sustaining engineering support for single-use fluid pathway assemblies for upstream and downstream processing of biologics based on direct customer input. This position requires the application of design, engineering, root cause analysis investigation, product testing, data analysis and report writing to resolve and improve product design, process and quality issues. This position is based in the R&D Bio-Process function.
Essential Responsibilities

Mechanical Engineering:
• Design of single-use products; components, assemblies, packaging, tooling and fixtures. Analyze and validate tolerances, performance, cost and manufacturability.
• Supports designing products to meet their intended use. Ensure performance of engineering analyses (support and review FEA, CFD analyses) to aid in making design decisions.
• Create detail and assembly drawings and associated Bill-of-Materials.
• Verify product performance against design inputs. Write verification protocols, perform testing, analyze and interpret test data, and write and present verification reports.
• Create manufacturing documents, including initial assembly instructions, inspection specifications, component specifications, and packaging instructions.
Leadership:
• Self-manage tasks. Identify design requirements, perform risk assessments, identify required resources, estimate time and budget, and interface with peers, managers, suppliers and customers.
• Interface with customers and cross-functional groups for complaint investigations, drive root cause analysis and implement quality and design related improvements.
