Includes qualification/testing of packaging configurations and process validation. Key Responsibilities Under supervision, design and develop package or sterilization case components for new or existing products. Define the design input requirements for medical-device packaging or sterilization case components through consultation with end users and other stakeholders (e.g., nurses, Sales, Marketing, Development, Quality, Manufacturing and Distribution personnel). These design inputs should take into consideration function, reliability, cost and company image. Prepare specifications for the raw materials, components and processes for medical-device packaging or sterilization case components. Execute test protocols for medical-device packaging or sterilization cases components. Document sterile product bills of material and shelf life. Establish appropriate project plan (i.e. define tasks, dependencies, schedule and resource requirements). Complete all Design Control activities for projects as required. Maintain and improve existing packaging or sterilization case systems. Apply sound engineering problem-solving techniques to package/case development and maintenance tasks including design, statistical analysis, material selection, inspection requirements and manufacturing process requirements. Prepare and submit written and oral communications that describe package/case design concepts, attributes and performance and project status. Areas of involvement include regulatory submissions, Design History Files, package/case evaluation, package/case validation and testing, manufacturing or supplier support, quality control and complaint evaluation.
