We are looking for a Pharmaceutical Mechanical Engineer to join our team. The role will support the development of our engineered products by using advanced powder flow characterizations, creating innovative test methods to ensure accurate analysis and optimization of powder handling processes for diverse industrial applications. Products developed are used primarily in the pharmaceutical sector, with potential for expansion into food and fine chemical manufacturing.
Key Accountabilities:
1. Prepare detailed product specifications in collaboration with product stakeholders.
2. Conduct detailed lab-based investigations and perform technical trials and simulations to assess powder flow characteristics and develop solutions.
3. Material/equipment specification and selection.
4. Prototyping and support for verification testing, risk assessments, DFMEAs, and validation exercises.
5. Collaborate with internal compliance team and certification agencies to ensure products conform to all current regulations and standards.
6. Work closely with all cross-functional teams to ensure a smooth transition of new products into production.
7. Provide technical assistance to the Production, Service, and Sales teams and customers as required.
8. Undertake and support Engineering Change Requests, promoting thorough documentation control and lessons learned.
9. Support the development of departmental processes, procedures, and best practices.
10. Drive root cause analysis exercises to analyze problems and deliver optimal solutions.
Must Have:
1. Experience in working with powder flow operations.
2. Experience of developing products for a variety of manufacturing processes.
3. Good technical ability, with understanding of mechanical interactions and solving from first principles.
4. Experience of employing additive manufacturing for prototypes or low volume production.
5. Knowledge of tools, such as DFMEA & PFMEA.
6. Good knowledge of technical drawing to BS 8888, GD&T in addition to tolerance analysis.
7. Experience in the design of products encompassing mechanical and electrical elements.
8. Experience with cGMP, FDA regulations, and ISO 9001 (or similar) quality management systems.
9. Experience of product verification and validation testing (such as ingress protection, corrosion, vibration, temperature).
10. Willing to travel occasionally within the UK and overseas (estimated 15%).
11. Strong mechanical engineering background, with knowledge of supporting engineering disciplines.
Other Information about the Job:
1. Full-time position.
2. Company funding towards private healthcare.
3. Due to the requirements of the role, we expect this to be onsite with no or very limited hybrid working.
We are looking for a problem solver with good organisational and communication skills. If you think this is you, then we want to hear from you!
