More than 66,000 dedicated colleagues in over 70 countries are driven to shape the future of healthcare. We stand with our customers around the world to support them in delivering high quality care to their patients. An estimated 5 million patients across the globe benefit every day from our innovative technologies and services in the areas of diagnostic and therapeutic imaging, laboratory diagnostics and molecular medicine, as well as digital health and enterprise services. This is what truly matters to us.

THE CRITICAL SKILLS WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Proven experience in the design and development of high-quality of automated electro-mechanical systems
• Integration of electromechanical sub-assemblies into complex systems which may include fluidics, optics, sensing, electronics and software elements
• Experienced CAD designer who has good product lifecycle management (PLM) knowledge
• LEAN/Six Sigma practices and principles to develop reliable robust designs (DOE, DFSS, Reliability testing)

IT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS TO HAVE THE FOLLOWING EXPERIENCE

• Knowledge of simulation packages (CFD, FEA etc.) to enable accurate modelling and characterisation in accelerating design maturity to deliver reliable robust solutions
• Strong knowledge of GD&T and applicable standards
• Developing & translating system requirements into robust design solutions with accompanying detailed design functional specifications
• Practical experience of supplier or manufacturing fabrication processes (e.g. moulding, machining, casting, coating)
• Knowledge of material properties to support design choices
• Providing technical support across the full engineering value chain avoiding outages within our integrated high performing manufacturing network (Supplier to Customer)
• Control systems engineering knowledge (Tuning motors, PID control, etc.)
• Experience of the Machinery Directive, CE Marking and other relevant safety standards
