No H1B
Responsibilities
You will work independently under the guidance and mentorship of a supervising engineer to advance design and manufacture of urological drug delivery systems, and you will function as a team contributor/collaborator within an engineering team
You will work on multiple engineering project teams balancing project tasks and communicating with both technical and managerial audiences
You will design and run experiments under engineering supervision
You will prepare samples for experimental testing which will include operating basic and advanced metrology tools and equipment such as contact-based direct dimensional measurement, mechanical load frames, and non-contact dimensional measurement such as high-magnification machine vision equipment and software
You will develop lab-scale machine-vision inspection methods and support method development and transfer to manufacturing partners
You will independently perform mechanical tests (load frames, force transducers) to evaluate material properties and functional performance of products, product systems, and product components
You will design and fabricate prototyping aids and test fixtures using 3D CAD modelling software, 3D printing resources, and basic model shop tools as required
You will maintain a laboratory notebook documenting your studies consistent with Quality System governance
You will participate in meetings with external partners and in design/technical reviews
You will support complaint investigations and root-cause analyses, as needed
You will author test protocols, reports, verification documentation, and other Quality System documentation, as needed
You will deliver a capstone oral presentation to the engineering team and other key department stakeholders at the end of the term highlighting your most significant contributions to the business
