Designer, Engineering

Imagine how your ideas and expertise can change a patient’s life. Our Global Supply Chain team plays a central part in ensuring our products are delivered to patients with cardiovascular disease. You’ll partner cross-functionally with manufacturing operations and sales teams, delivering thoughtful solutions to complex challenges all while developing your knowledge of the medical device industry. Whether your work includes strategic inventory planning, labeling, warehouse management, material handling, or any of our other supply chain opportunities, you will be making a meaningful contribution to our team and to patients all over the world.We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Designer with a focus on Production Tooling Design to join our team. The ideal candidate will have experience in design and development of custom tooling used to precisely hold and position workpieces during manufacturing processes, such as cutting, assembly, or inspection, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency in production by creating specialized jigs and fixtures tailored to specific parts and operations.How you'll make an impact:

Create new designs utilizing parametric solid modeling software or applications to develop basic data, assemblies and detailed parts of devices, mechanisms, and structures, assess viability of engineering specifications/concepts including advising engineers on suggested revisions on designs

Design complex fixtures, incorporating ease of manufacturing, safety, performance, and reliability; and selecting equipment and materials, contractual specification requirements and cost; including recommending alternates and solutions needed to achieve the intended design objective

Identify design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and recommend revisions and/or improvements in design layout to responsible engineers or designers throughout the validation process including redline reviews

Process Engineering Change Requests (ECR) including describing changes and providing corresponding technical justification; checking completed layouts and drawings for clarity, completeness, conformity to standards, procedures, specifications; and accuracy of calculations and dimensioning and notes necessary to present design proposals

Consult with and provide input to Engineers on Edwards drawing standards and CAD tools, maintaining integrity of the CAD PDM (Product Data Management) modeling software

Develop presentations and present proposal on designs across internal and external functions to secure consensus on the design viability and functionality

Other incidental duties
