R+D Verification Engineer II

JOB SUMMARY: The R+D Verification Engineer II is a part of a team developing new products for the medical, dental and animal health markets. They design, document, and execute verification electromechanical tests for medical devices, systems, and components using various tools and methods. They use various test methodologies for manual and automated testing. This role is a hybrid role with 4 days on-site in the Versailles, Ohio location and one day remote. This is not a remote position. ESSENTIAL/PRIMARY DUTIES: Works on moderately complex projects, generates alternatives, and conducts testing. Conducts compression and tensile analysis and product destructive tests using measuring equipment to determine ultimate yield or tensile strength, service life, or other critical performance characteristics. Analyzes test data and generates reports that detail the results of product testing, including product performance, material performance, failure modes, correlation studies, and other relevant analysis. Executes basic automated tests using multiple systems, platforms, environments, or browsers. Conducts design of experiments (DOE) to understand the impact of variability on product performance. Expands problem definition, integrates new information and different perspectives, and chooses optimal solution based on evidence. Applies new tools and identifies opportunities for six sigma methods. Identifies and communicates risks, participates in issue resolution, and mentors junior engineers. Applies advanced engineering methods and tools to solve engineering problems. Leads collaboration within functional team to create, review, and improve verification plans. Conceptualizes, analyzes, and designs complex parts and assemblies for testing systems using 3D modeling and fabrication tools. SECONDARY DUTIES: Communicates to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Makes informed decisions within assigned tasks/projects and takes ownership of the outcomes. Identifies and contributes to process improvements utilizing six sigma techniques. Assists in identifying and evaluating risks, contributes to risk mitigation.
