At Edwards, we put patients first. We invest a significant proportion of our
revenue towards research and development to drive and develop groundbreaking
medical innovations for structural heart disease. As part of our R&D Engineering
team, the Senior Designer, Engineering will work closely with our R&D and New
Product Development teams to develop the latest tools and technologies to
address significant, unmet clinical needs that impact patients’ lives around the
world.
Aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation impact millions of people globally, yet
these conditions often remain under-diagnosed and under-treated. Edwards'
groundbreaking work in transcatheter aortic heart valve replacement (TAVR)
pioneered an innovative, life-changing solution for patients by offering heart
valve replacement without the need for open heart surgery. Today, our
Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) business unit continues to pioneer
next-generation innovations for patients with both aortic stenosis (AS) and
aortic regurgitation (AR). We bring together Clinical Affairs, Engineering, and
Research professionals who partner with cardiologists and clinical teams to
design and develop minimally invasive therapies supported by clinical evidence,
transforming cardiovascular care and addressing unmet patient needs in
structural heart disease. It's our driving force to help patients live longer,
healthier lives. Join us and be part of our inspiring journey.
How you'll make an impact:
* Creating new complex product designs utilizing parametric solid modeling
software or applications to develop basic data, complex assemblies and
detailed parts of devices, mechanisms, and structures, assess viability of
engineering specifications/concepts including advising engineers on suggested
revisions on designs.
* Designing more complex products, incorporating ease of manufacturing, safety,
performance, and reliability; and selecting equipment and materials,
contractual specification requirements and cost; including recommending
alternates and solutions needed to achieve the intended design objective.
Identifying design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and
recommending revisions and/or improvements in design layout to responsible
engineers or designers throughout the validation process including redline
reviews.
* Process Engineering Change Requests (ECR) including describing changes and
providing corresponding technical justification; checking completed layouts
and drawings for clarity, completeness, conformity to standards, procedures,
specifications; and accuracy of calculations and dimensioning and notes
necessary to present design proposals.
* Participating in implementing new processes, methods, and design products in
collaboration with Engineering.
* Developing presentations and presenting proposal on designs across internal
and external functions to secure consensus on the design viability and
functionality.
* Consulting with and providing input to Engineers on Edwards drawing standards
and CAD tools, maintaining integrity of the CAD PDM (Product Data Management)
modeling software.
* Performing more complex tolerance analysis.
