Job Summary

Description

This Engineer is a skilled professional responsible for contributing to engineering projects and collaborating with cross-functional teams to design develop and implement solutions. You will play an essential role in ensuring the successful execution of engineering tasks and projects to tight time scales and ensuring functional and non-functional requirements are met. This opportunity to be a part ofresearch and development workstreams subsystems and/or specific products and deliverables in the domains ranging from simple disposable devices to complex thermos-fluidic system and sophisticated robotic solutions involving IT connectivity machine learning and AI.

As an R&D engineer you will be a part of the product development and engineering department you will report directly to the R&D Director Product Engineering. Scope of this role includes activities pertaining to sustaining activities new product development product upgrades and improvements line extensions as well as new concept incubation activities. Within the scope of this role are electro-mechanical connected systems and devices associated with In-vitro fertilization (IVF) and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). You will also have an opportunity to contribute to product development and sustaining engineering activities associate with surgical devices instruments and disposables in broader womens health field including Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN). In this role withinthe Global Cooper Surgical R&D organization and you may as needs arise be asked to support other areas of the business to ensure the success of the company in line with the One Cooper philosophy.

Responsibilities

Technical Contributions:
1. Design and develop components and assemblies using first principles Lead development of product or sub-systems for complex electromechanical products and analyze / simulate design to understand key parameters and sensitivities. Establish design feasibility by testing circuit and demonstrating statistical capability for critical functions.
2. Define design inputs (i.e. product requirements) develop design outputs (i.e. product specifications) define technical strategies for an adequate verification and validation approach. Drive successful verification and validation testing.
3. Ideate conceptualize and build concepts and prototypes to aid incubation of new opportunities or down-select wining solutions for new product developments upgrades or improvements.
4. Create simulation and mathematical models as appropriate to demonstrate functional feasibility of technical solution based on experimental numerical statistical and/or finite-elements tools and techniques.
5. Participate in troubleshooting root-cause analysis and devise solutions and approaches for solving technical problems (solution gameplan) and overcoming development challenges in an inclusive and collaborative fashion.
6. Develop test methods and fixtures for products components and systems simulation evaluation and verification testing including creating formal Verification test protocols run tests and write Verification test reports.
7. May communicate key technical content to parties within and outside of own function (R&D). May have responsibility for communicating with parties external to the organization and manage external development partners to meet project deliverables on time.
Project Delivering:
1. Deliver agreed project outcomes on-time and on-budget per project plan.
2. Manage your assignedproject tasks workstreams and deliverables ensuring full alignment with the overall project plan and business objectives.
3. Report to Project lead on your assigned tasks ensuring early escalation and identification of project risks.
4. Participate in design review and DFMA activities.
