Job description
We are seeking an experienced Product Development Consultant to support high-priority technical projects across our innovation and product development landscape. In this role, you will bring specialized knowledge and proven problem-solving skills to help teams overcome challenges, accelerate delivery, and improve product and process performance.
As a trusted technical advisor, you’ll work alongside multidisciplinary engineering teams—providing guidance on design, development, validation, and process excellence. Whether supporting new product introductions, resolving production issues, or optimizing system architectures, your expertise will have a direct and measurable impact.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide technical consultancy on complex engineering challenges across product development, manufacturing, or system integration.
- Support the design, analysis, and validation of mechanical, electrical, or mechatronic systems—depending on area of expertise.
- Lead or contribute to problem-solving initiatives using structured methodologies (e.g., 8D, FMEA, CAPA, Root Cause Analysis).
- Review and improve designs, processes, and documentation to enhance quality, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Support requirements definition, system architecture, and verification planning in regulated or high-tech environments.
- Conduct data analysis, process assessments, and performance evaluations using tools such as SPC, Six Sigma, or simulation software.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including R&D, manufacturing, quality, and project management.
- Prepare and deliver technical reports, recommendations, and presentations for engineering and leadership stakeholders.
- Support audits, compliance activities, and process improvements—especially in regulated environments (e.g., ISO 13485, IEC 60601).
- Mentor and guide internal engineers, sharing best practices and accelerating knowledge transfer.
- Manage own workload, deliverables, and timelines with minimal supervision—aligned with project objectives.
Qualifications & Skills
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, Systems, Industrial, or related field).
- Minimum 5 years of professional experience in engineering, preferably in high-tech & medical environments.
- Demonstrated expertise in one or more technical domains:
- Mechanical design & precision engineering
- Electronic hardware or embedded systems
- Systems engineering & integration
- Manufacturing & process optimization
- Product validation & testing
- Requirements & lifecycle management
- Proficiency in relevant engineering tools (e.g., CAD, EPlan, DOORS, MATLAB, Windchill, SAP, MS Office).
- Experience with structured development methodologies (V-model, Agile, Stage-Gate) and quality systems (ISO 9001, ISO 13485, FDA).
- Certified Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt, or equivalent problem-solving training, is highly valued.
- Strong analytical, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
- Independent, proactive, and results-oriented—able to deliver under tight timelines.
