The Opportunity

As Senior Device Engineer, reporting to an Engineering Team Leader or to a Project Technical Lead, you’ll help ensure our combination products are safe, effective, and compliant with global standards. You’ll apply engineering principles, Design Controls, and Safety Risk Management to guide products from concept through to production. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across Teva and contribute to the evolution of departmental systems and best practices.

Your experience in manufacturing technologies such as plastic injection moulding will support design transfer to production. You’ll bring creativity and problem-solving to tackle engineering challenges.

How You’ll Spend Your Day

• Support the engineering design and development of drug delivery devices across stages from early research through design verification/validation and life-cycle management.
• Ensure products are reliable and robust through appropriate design, analysis, and testing methodologies; ensure they are comprehensively specified and documented for compliance.
• Lead or support Safety Risk Management activities, including hazard identification and risk analysis/evaluation (e.g., design FMEAs); support process risk assessments with MS&T.
• Lead or support technical design reviews to assess design robustness, safety, and documentation quality compliance.
• Lead or support investigations to identify root causes of device-related issues using techniques such as Fault Tree Analysis and Design of Experiments.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of departmental processes, including SOPs, guidelines, templates, and new software tools.
• Mentor and coach junior colleagues as required.
• Manage externally sourced engineering services, including oversight of budgets, timelines, and risk.
• Domestic and international travel may be required (approximately 10%) to support project activities and supplier/manufacturing site visits.

Your Experience And Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Engineering, Scientific, or other relevant technical discipline.
• Proven experience in design, manufacture, and life-cycle management of medical devices or combination products from concept to commercialization (preferred), or equivalent regulated industry expertise.
• Demonstrated independence in executing engineering tasks with minimal supervision; proactive in identifying additional activities and seeking peer support when appropriate.
• Training in Design Controls, medical device Safety Risk Management, and European Medical Device Regulations (preferred).
• Familiarity with statistical methods relevant to design input definition, verification and validation testing, including sample size determination based on risk.
• Strong 3D spatial awareness and ability to visualize concepts, mechanisms, and assemblies.
• Working knowledge of SolidWorks 3D CAD software (preferred).

Are You

• Able to influence and educate peers; confident in professional judgment and decision-making.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to assess mechanisms and systems from a first-principles engineering perspective.
