• Serve as a divisional subject-matter expert with strong experience in industry standards for device development; review and refine engineering documentation such as Design History Files and help shape standards and regulations in collaboration with teams across the business.
• Build and apply tools that improve product development, process development, or product performance.
• Identify practical design and process improvements, make sure they are sustained over time, and support complex product development in cross-functional settings across multiple technical disciplines.
