Responsibilities
Process Execution & Optimization: Support the development, optimization, and baseline establishment of core EP catheter manufacturing processes (e.g., polymer reflow, braiding, tipping, laser welding, micro-soldering, and electrical termination).
Process Characterization: Execute process capability studies, screening evaluations, and standard Design of Experiments (DOE) under senior technical guidance to establish stable processing windows.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Collaborate with R&D Product Development engineers to provide process feedback on multi-lumen shafts, handle assemblies, sensor/electrode integration, and tip sub-assemblies during early prototyping and pilot production.
Automation Collaboration: Support Design for Manufacturability (DFMA) efforts for complex EP catheters in collaboration with senior engineers and the Automation Engineering team. Assist in defining user requirements (URS), evaluating fixtures/tooling, and executing integration trials for automated or semi-automated assembly platforms.
Process Validation Execution: Draft, execute, and author reports for Equipment Installation Qualifications (IQ), Operational Qualifications (OQ), and Performance Qualifications (PQ) for catheter assembly and test equipment.
Defect Prevention & Quality Control: Assist in drafting pFMEAs, implementing in-process controls, and executing mistake-proofing (Poka-Yoke) solutions to maintain validated states and maximize yields.
Tooling & Equipment: Assist with specifying, procuring, and qualifying new manufacturing fixtures, tooling, and baseline equipment required for new product lines.
Root Cause Analysis: Participate in technical problem-solving for Material Review Board (MRB) items and Non-Conformance Reports (NCMRs), utilizing structured root-cause tools (e.g., 5-Why, Fishbone) to resolve manufacturing issues.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner effectively with Quality Engineering, Operations, R&D, and Technician staff to ensure smooth technology transfer to production lines.
Job Requirements
Qualifications
Education: BS degree in Mechanical, Biomedical, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Science, or a related technical discipline.
Experience: 2–5 years of hands-on experience in medical device manufacturing or process development (or MS with 1–3 years). Experience with catheter manufacturing, steerable shafts, or micro-assembly is highly preferred.
Technical Knowledge: Exposure to or foundational knowledge of catheter manufacturing techniques, such as reflow, braiding, thermal bonding, UV bonding, laser welding, micro-soldering, or sensor assembly.
Statistical Application: Proficiency with statistical analysis tools (e.g., Minitab) for data analysis, capability studies (), hypothesis testing, and basic DOE applications.
Validation Experience: Direct experience drafting or executing IQ/OQ/PQ protocols within an ISO 13485 / FDA QSR regulated environment.
