  • Ensure alignment with relevant quality management standards (e.g., QSR, ISO 13485).
  • Contribute to technical documentation for regulatory submissions.
  • Team Leadership & Development

  • Mentor engineering staff through clear expectations, strong communication, and consistent coaching.
  • Foster a culture centered on accountability, technical excellence, and collaborative problem‑solving.

  • Support ongoing manufacturing operations by troubleshooting equipment, performing root cause analyses, and implementing continuous improvements.
  • Partner with cross‑functional teams to sustain product quality and performance.
  • Documentation & Technical Communication

  • Prepare and review technical documentation including SOPs, protocols, batch records, specifications, and engineering drawings.
  • Communicate technical findings through reports, presentations, and scientific / technical forums.
  • Qualifications

  • Education – B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Biomedical, Chemical, Mechanical, or related Engineering discipline. Equivalent education and experience combinations will be considered.
  • Technical Background – 7+ years of professional experience in medical device engineering or combination product development; demonstrated expertise in design controls, risk management, and regulated product development; familiarity with aseptic processing, cell‑based systems, or device‑biologic interfaces is beneficial; experience with equipment qualification (IQ / OQ / PQ), verification / validation testing, and technical documentation in compliance‑driven environments.
  • Soft Skills & Leadership Capabilities – Proven ability to lead teams within fast‑paced, cross‑functional R&D settings; strong written and verbal communication skills; excellent attention to detail, sound judgment, and effective prioritization; ability to work independently while maintaining alignment with organizational goals.
