R&D Product Development Engineer
Description:
The Product Development Engineer will be responsible for the characterization of materials, components, final prototypes and products for bioengineered regenerative medicine products. They will work with existing test methods and develop new methods for evaluating novel biomaterials within a regulated environment. The Product Development Engineer will be an integral part of the product development team through their implementation of the tests and their critical analyses as part of experiments designed to develop products to meet their intended purpose.
Responsibilities:
- Contribute to the identification of suitable standardized test and design and development of any new tests necessary to evaluate prototypes based on design requirement
- Apply expertise in test method development and mechanical and analytical testing to setup and execute tests to characterize physical properties of prototypes
- Prepare documentation including work instructions, test methods and SOPs.
- Responsible for procurement, qualification and maintenance of all equipment used in product testing using good documentation practice
- Identify test methods and execute testing for raw materials and product stability
- Support development activities, execute experiments and analyze test data, interpret results and formulate conclusions and reports
- Support prototype preparation for animal studies for safety and efficacy, product stability study, design verification and packaging validation.
