The role offers an opportunity to work in a mechanical design team, focused on advancing novel medical products. You will support the development and delivery of our respiratory support devices, investigating issues, implementing design enhancements, increasing production reliability, product performance and manufacturing yield. We need your help to ensure our products are as effective, safe, and successful as possible.
The systems that you will be working on involve a complex mix of mechanical systems, electrical hardware and custom software, so exceptional communication skills and the ability to work together in a cross functional group will be highly beneficial. This also gives you the opportunity to perform project management for small projects within a multi-disciplinary team to deliver project objectives in a fast-paced and changing environment.
You’ll be working in a team of 7 and surrounded by two other mechanical teams that share knowledge, expertise and support the training of new staff. As an Senior engineer, you’ll be able to quickly learn our processes and procedures, lead technical projects, mentor less experienced engineers and contribute to continuous improvements in our products, processes and ways of working.
Success in this role requires initiative, adaptability and sound engineering judgement, as projects can range from straightforward product improvements through to complex technical investigations and product redesigns.
Projects typically range from 3 to 18 months. This role suits someone who enjoys delivering outcomes quickly while managing multiple priorities across a varied project portfolio.
