Job Description

Join us and experience our culture first-hand — one of strong ethics & integrity, diversified experiences, exceptional science, and a resounding passion for improving human health. As part of our global team, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with talented and dedicated colleagues while developing and expanding your career.

Duties:

• The Client Device Development & Technology (DD&T) Team is seeking a hands-on/ lab-focused Scientist focused on the characterization and testing of devices (components, sub-assemblies, and full devices) and combination products (drug-delivery products).
• This position will be responsible for technical interrogation of the various drug delivery device technology platforms supporting Client’s pipeline to identify risks (i.e. when/why/how will the device fail) and opportunities for improvement.
• They will utilize a wide variety of cutting-edge analytical instruments, methods, and extensive data analysis/interpretation to build fundamental understanding of the device’s material and functional properties and attributes.
• Many of the drug delivery device technology platforms are often assemblages of injection molded plastic components driving delivery of a drug, typically though mechanical (i.e. compress/torsion spring, compressed gas) or electro-mechanical (i.e. DC motor and battery driving a gearbox) means. Examples include, but not limited to, injector pens, on-body injectors, and inhalers. At this early stage of evaluation material is often limited and will demand creative approaches.

Qualifications:

• B.S. or M.S. degree and 1+ years of design, engineering, and mechanical testing/test method development experience (3+ years for Level II role).
• Exceptional mechanical testing and troubleshooting skills able to work independently in a laboratory setting.
• Deep technical understanding of test method development and qualification/validation techniques.
• Fluency with mechanical testing, imaging, and measurement equipment and techniques. Including, but not limited to, force/tension/compression testing, rheometry, and microscopy.
• Excellent collaboration, ideation, and prototyping skills, including fixture development for functional testing.
• Experience in 3D CAD (e.g. SolidWorks), geometric tolerancing and stack-up analysis.
• Strong documentation skills (following Good Documentation Practices) and ability to analyze test cases and provide comprehensive feedback and recommendations for product or design changes.
