• Leads assigned workstreams or smaller-scale projects for sustaining activities, or product change initiatives with guidance from leadership as needed.
• Coordinates with cross-functional team members on prototype builds, inspection activities, and execution support for design verification, design validation, and process validation activities.
• Identifies and documents critical-to-quality product features based on intended use, design requirements, user risks, and the design itself.
• Executes and supports verification and validation activities to confirm product designs meet requirements and appropriately address user risk in compliance with Zimmer Biomet procedures and regulatory expectations.
• Supports Quality, Sourcing, and Manufacturing teams with design transfer activities for product launch and production readiness.
• Develops and executes test methods, engineering evaluations, and supporting validation activities required by Zimmer Biomet procedures and applicable regulatory requirements.
• Authors and reviews design control and risk management documentation, and supports cross-functional alignment throughout the product development process.
• Creates and communicates project timelines, task plans, and status updates to stakeholders for assigned engineering activities.
• Coordinates with project team members and tracks assigned tasks to support delivery to timeline.
• Identifies project risks, escalates issues appropriately, and contributes to contingency planning with stakeholders and team members.
• Monitors product performance and relevant technical literature to support sound engineering decisions and continuous improvement.
• Provides technical guidance to less experienced engineers and cross-functional partners on product design and development activities.
• Evaluates and applies new technologies, tools, or methods where appropriate to improve product performance and address user needs.

What Makes You Stand Out
