. Develop technical design and/ or verification documentations, draft engineering and test plans, drawings, 3D models as needed.

o Follow Design Control & ensure compliance with all local, state, federal, international, and internal safety regulations, policies, and procedures.

o Define, plan and lead activities for test method & measurement system development and validation and testing optimization in support of Design Verification.

o Lead creation and execution of verification protocols, summarize results, enable formal design reviews, and own the verification portion of the Design History File.

. Demonstrate proficiency in spotting Design Variance through relevant statistical measures.

o Interpret and analyse design verification data with respect to product performance and operational stability in the manufacturing plants.

o Application of engineering first principles and advanced engineering methods to gain deep understanding of the underlying technical issues, and to propose and implement robust solutions.

o Synthesize, develop, update, and optimize designs based on understanding design space. Understand design options and trade-offs managing critical parameters leverage strong engineering fundamentals and tools. Incorporate manufacturing principles early in the development process.

o Executes Continuous Improvement projects in the following (but not limited to) areas.

. Equipment or method troubleshooting/repairs.

. Coordinates with Test Method Development and Verification & Validation team for equipment and method validations

. Method or Equipment Upgrades

. Fixture maintenance

. Drawing or Specification modifications

o Responsible for Complete end to end maintenance of test equipment and management of Test method validation records.

o Ensure deliverables are reliable across the design space, is adequately pressure-tested to satisfy user, regulatory and business requirements. Understand system and subsystem design sensitivity and identify and address early any potential design integration and transfer risks.

o Implement DFSS rigor throughout the design selection and development process, leveraging and deploying empirical, statistical, and analytical tools to drive informed design decisions and reduce design iteration cycle times.

. Optimize product design, material selection, product features, process design and human-factor need based on the project needs.

. Analyze the design and utilize robust engineering principles to ensure that the design is optimized to satisfy product and business requirements.

. Should be able to work on drawings, modeling using CAD packages.

Ensure the design considerations are embedding all applicable DFX (Design for Excellence) aspects including manufacturability, serviceability, reliability, and safety.

o Create and document novel test methodologies and provide feedback and recommendations for product/design changes.

o Actively build on personal skills, expertise, and competencies. Ensure that technical lessons are reviewed, learned, and disseminated.

o Coach and mentor junior engineers and technicians to execute project deliverables.

o Ensure compliance with BD quality policies, procedures, and practices.

o The incumbent will also be responsible for ensuring QMS conformance and ensure that the quality policy and objectives are met per organizational guidelines.
