• Identify, analyse and communicate user needs
• Perform tolerance analysis using RSS or Montecarlo methodology
• Design test rigs and challenge parts
• Perform Engineering testing (laboratory-based) to evaluate design proposals and establish functional performance characteristics
• Analyse test results to determine design performance and acceptability
• Risk management assessment and mitigation, including DFMEA and input to UFMEA.
• Support supplier design reviews and internal design reviews
• Balance technical requirements with user preference data
• Support Design for Manufacture and Design for Assembly discussions with internal and external design teams
• Create documentation to support medical device development and industrialization
• Interact effectively with suppliers and other groups
Capabilities and Knowledge
Essential
