You will be part of the remediation, relaunch (MLD) and NPI (New Product Introduction) Mechanical Engineering Team within the R&D (Research and Development) Department at Philips SRC (Sleep and Respiratory Care) division. You will be directly involved in the design and development of Ventilators (hospital and home) and disposables (masks).

Your role:

• Lead Sustenance activities for respiratory products.
• Support ongoing MDD and MDR regulatory compliance.
• Lead and execution remediation tasks.
• Execute any verification activities – as required in the lab for elements and parts.
• Support DHF (design history file) remediation for mechanical engineering deliverables which includes; defining strategy and planning, gap analysis, creating new and revising DHFs, reviewing and releasing DHFs.
• DHF’s accountability and responsibility for mechanical and mechatronic parts and sub systems (Gas path, valves, sensors (air, O2 and Pressure), manifold, patient interface, solenoid valves, filters, blowers, motors and enclosure).
• Review & mentor - correctness and approve design documentation including requirements specification, design docs, engineering analysis & simulation studies, calculations, capture, test plans, test procedures, test records & reports.
• Lead project team members to produce development plans and identify and mitigate development risks.
• Conceive, design, develop, evaluate, and implement new systems and products in the field of medical ventilator product development and sustaining engineering.
• Utilize best practices in mechanical design analysis, modeling, and tolerance analysis to produce a highly viable mechanical.
• Create documentation, including component details, assembly details, incoming and finished inspection requirements, using CAD (Computer Aided Design) as a design tool.
• Responsible for all aspects of design documentation including requirements specification, engineering analysis, drawings, test plans/procedures, validation, the release of components, assemblies and products to production, and production startup support.
