A Day in the Life
The Process Development Engineer II will support teams driving technology innovation with emphasis on improving quality technical rigor and developing state-of-the-art mechanized and semi-automated systems. At our Structural Heart & Aortic Advanced Manufacturing (AME) Engineering team in Santa Ana Medtronic plc we focus on designing and developing cutting-edge technologies for the manufacture of bioprosthetic heart valves in the Cardiovascular Portfolio. Our Engineers are directly involved in the development of innovative products and processes for use in medical procedures. The role requires onsite work a minimum of 4 days per week to foster professional growth and cross-functional collaboration, with travel of less than 10% to enhance collaboration and ensure successful project completion. As an engineer you will actively participate in all areas of new product development for bovine and porcine heart valves, including: Technology Development & Advancement Process Development Mechanization & Semi-Automation Vendor Management & Project Management Process Technologies
You will support teams driving technology innovation with emphasis on improving quality technical rigor and developing state-of-the-art mechanized and semi-automated systems. Activities include, but are not limited to: Support feasibility or proof of principle studies that explore new process technologies and evaluate their potential for application to bioprosthetic heart valve manufacturing Analyze results and make recommendations Drive post-launch process improvements and cost-reduction initiatives through structured problem solving in collaboration with manufacturing sites; leverage automation or mechanization opportunities to enhance yield and reduce COGS Process Development
You will use DRM methodology and 3-D drawing to develop best-in-class processes and manufacturing lines for the manufacture of our heart valve product ranges. Activities include: Support process development characterization and validation (IQ, OQ, PQ) for New Product Introduction Collaborate with cross-functional teams (R&D, Operations, and Quality) to define, execute, and deliver on New Product Development requirements Compile, document, and present learnings to project and functional teams (e.g., Technical Reviews, Design Reviews, Project Dashboards, process Development reports) Participate in functional initiatives that support continuous improvement of the Process Development organization Process Transfer
You will support activities required for transfer of pilot line/developed processes during product development to commercial operations. Activities include: Develop and implement transfer plans; ensure pilot line transfer and process transfer into commercial production or receiving site Generate and execute plans for equipment qualification and process validation; evaluate process capability; support test method development and validation where needed Provide engineering support to manufacturing operations on a routine basis; investigate and address product issues arising on the pilot line and production line following process transfer Partner with cross-functional teams (Operations, Quality, and R&D) to assess and implement engineering solutions that enhance process capability, reduce variability, and strengthen product robustness throughout the lifecycle Requirements
