Abbott
The Opportunity
Our diagnostic solutions are used in hospitals, laboratories, and clinics around the globe. The crucial information derived from our tests, instruments, and informatics systems is often the first step in patient care decision-making for hundreds of health conditions from heart attacks to blood disorders to infectious diseases and cancers. Our Core Diagnostics team is seeking a
Senior Mechanical Engineer
to provide leadership and technical expertise in support of new and existing products, processes, prototypes, fixtures, and tools. This role involves applying engineering and scientific principles to evaluate and solve technical challenges. The ideal candidate works independently with general supervision on moderately complex projects and assignments and may offer guidance to entry-level engineers. The engineer will play a key role in driving continuous quality improvement across all initiatives and be a technical lead for individual projects (component/subassembly).
Responsibilities
Specify, design, verify and validate new and existing medical devices, in accordance with applicable procedures and medical regulatory standards.
Demonstrated success in utilizing empirical, numerical and experimental analysis to analyze designs.
Use experience to select appropriate materials, components, processes and technologies for subsystems.
Define experimental, empirical and numerical analyses to evaluate designs.
Select and develop test methods and simulation models to mitigate design risks and ensure new design reliability for subsystems.
Remain abreast of technical advancements and continually develop skills.
Document subsystem products, tools, fixtures, and prototypes with specifications, schematics and layouts for documentation control and release.
Develop and select appropriate test methods for engineering design checkout and verification for subassembly.
Design and develop prototypes, tools, fixtures and subsystem test stands for research and development.
Utilize design for manufacturability to select and define specifications and processes.
Apply advanced engineering/scientific principles and tools to evaluate and solve complex parts and sub-assembly designs.
Use root cause analysis tools to troubleshoot complex designs and provide written technical justifications.
Contribute to risk management documentation including dFMEA and pFMEA; identify and mitigate sub-assembly design risks.
Plan tasks, manage timelines, and collaborate with cross-functional teams; lead project discussions as appropriate.
Mentor junior engineers and provide peer review of designs and documentation.
Lead small project teams as an Independent Reviewer when needed and ensure compliance with regulatory environments.
Demonstrate proficiency in analytical problem solving and design troubleshooting.
Travel may be required, including international travel.
Required Education and Experience
Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering or closely related STEM field
Minimum 6 years of experience
CAD 3D modeling experience
This role is not remote; onsite at Irving, Texas office
Preferred
Degree in Mechanical Engineering
Ability to multi-task across multiple projects in various development stages
Proficiency with SolidWorks, Siemens Teamcenter (PLM), and Solutions Business Manager (SBM)
Understanding of Design Planning, change control, and ability to write DRJ statements in support of drawing releases
Experience with cable design and 3D model assembly documentation
Strong project management and workload organization skills
Experience conducting engineering studies and validations with data analysis
Ability to design engineering test methods
Experience leading cross-functional risk assessments for new products or process changes
Deep understanding of equipment functionality and regulatory environments
