Work Flexibility: Hybrid

The Staff Sustaining Engineer works independently to drive design changes on commercial products to improve upon performance, safety, compliance or cost. These changes include material changes, compliance to new testing standards, improvements to the product in order to address issues, implementing new test methods, supporting process improvement efforts, managing product line extensions or manufacturing transfers of critical components.

What you will do:

Determine the testing required for design changes and will manage the execution. Assesses the patient risk appropriately for each design changeOversee product testing for design verification, design validation, shelf life, engineering studies and equivalency. Drafts protocols and reports as needed.Coordinate cross-functionally to implement design changes with Regulatory, Quality Assurance, Production, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain.Understands how product changes will be implemented into Production.Interfaces with physicians or Cath Lab personnel to investigate product complaints and obtain feedback on performance of devices.
