Senior Engineer, R&D

How you will make an impact:

• Innovate, develop, and qualify new test systems, test methods, SOPs, R&D processes, analytics routines, and engineering models to evaluate product performance, including advanced flow visualization and experimental fluid mechanics methods such as particle image velocimetry (PIV).
• Create, evaluate, and improve on products as part of cross-functional New Product Development teams by developing designs, leading experiments (including writing and executing protocols), analyzing results, making recommendations, and authoring reports, based on strong engineering principles.
• Advance laboratory data and digital capabilities through automation, programming, data integration, and/or development of efficient and scalable engineering analysis workflows.
• Develop and execute engineering project plans.
• Support design control activities including requirements, risk documentation, and technical documentation.
• Coordinate and provide technical direction to technicians and lower-level employees, including test execution, training, and routine technical guidance.
• Evaluate inputs and develop technical recommendations, including the design of test systems and processes, parts, components, and subsystems.
• Other duties assigned by leadership.

What you'll need (Required):

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or Scientific field with 4 years of experience -OR- Master's Degree or equivalent in Engineering or Scientific field with 3 years of experience -OR- Ph.D. or equivalent in Engineering or Scientific field
• Strong background with test method development and qualification, experimental design, product testing, data analysis, and test lab equipment
• Background in experimental fluid mechanics, including hands-on experience with particle image velocimetry (PIV) and other quantitative flow-diagnostic techniques

What else we look for (Preferred):

• Experience with heart valve performance or related biomedical applications is strongly preferred
• Experience applying programming, automation, data analytics, and/or AI-enabled tools for engineering analysis, test methods, or laboratory workflows
• Experience with CAD and fabrication, statistical techniques, and engineering analysis.
• Medical device industry exposure is strongly desired
• Strong problem-solving, organizational, analytical and critical thinking skills
• Strong documentation, communication (e.g., written and verbal) and interpersonal relationship skills including consultative and relationship management skills
• Ability to influence change and represent the team on broad projects
• Ability to interact with senior internal and external personnel on significant matters often requiring coordination between organizations
• Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Adhere to all company rules and requirements (e.g., pandemic protocols, Environmental Health & Safety rules) and take adequate control measures in preventing injuries to themselves and others as well as to the protection of environment and prevention of pollution under their span of influence/control
