Imagine how your ideas and expertise can change a patient’s life. Our Quality teams help shape the development of ground-breaking technologies to ensure each stage of our innovation process is held to the highest standards of integrity and safety. You’ll bring your passion for problem solving and partner with various teams to influence decision-making for a product’s entire lifecycle. Your work will involve you optimizing product development to impact patients around the world with pioneering technology.

The Quality Engineer II applies knowledge of quality engineering principles and methods to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and Edwards' systems/procedures to optimize product development, internal and external device manufacturing, and device distribution.

How you'll make an impact:

Develop moderately complex experiments and tests (including writing and executing protocols) to create, validate, and improve products (including evaluation of source materials and suppliers) and manufacturing processes/methods based on engineering principles; analyse results, make recommendations, and develop reports. (R&D: 30)

Investigate moderately complex manufacturing product quality and compliance issues which may include:

Investigate PRAs and complaints for manufacturing related issues

Manage site NCRs, CAPAs , ECRs and audit observations for all production processes prior to final product release based on engineering principles; analyse results,

Provide technical support to external and internal audits,

Make recommendations and develop reports. (MFG: 45 / R&D: 15)

Develop training and documentation materials for production (e.g., work instructions) to enable the seamless knowledge transfer of project and manufacturing processes.

Develop, update, and maintain technical content of risk management files

May develop, update, and maintain technical content of risk management files, review and revise pFMEAs in conjunction with BU PMS team where applicable for the plant site.

Oversee product release, assess and disposition product on hold (MRB), and manage material quality control.

Review and approve equipment validations and asset management actions.

Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure successful transfers

Optimize to optimize moderately complex Manufacturing processes using engineering methods (e.g., SIX Sigma, TOPP and LEAN methods) for design for manufacturing and for continuous process improvement.  Identify opportunities for re-design/design of basic equipment, tools, fixtures, etc. to improve manufacturing processes, and reduce risk
