WHO WE ARE

Teva’s Combination Products and Devices R&D, Small Molecules (CPD) team, based in Abbots Park, Runcorn, develops needle-based injection devices and other technologies for delivery of Teva’s Small Molecule medications. Our broad portfolio of both generic and specialty medicines covers a variety of core device types: Pre-Filled Syringes (PFS), pen injectors and Autoinjectors, for the treatment of a wide range of diseases, including anaphylaxis, migraine and diabetes.

• Autoinjectors (AI)

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Do you have?

• Experience in the design, manufacture and life-cycle management of medical device or combination products from concept to commercialisation
• Or alternatively, experience from another relevant industry
• An understanding of Design Controls, medical device Safety Risk Management and European Medical Device Directive/Regulations would be preferred.
• Familiarity with statistical methods, for example for the determination of design input requirements, verification and validation testing, especially the derivation of test sample sizes proportionate to risk.
• Excellent 3D spatial awareness and visualisation of concepts, mechanisms and assemblies
• Knowledge of Solidworks 3D CAD would be desirable.
• An analytical engineering assessment of mechanisms and systems, building understanding from a “first principles” basis.

Are you?

• Someone who operates with a high degree of autonomy/independence on engineering tasks but understands when there’s a need to seek support from others within the team
• Able to influence and educate with confidence in your own judgement
• An individual that can effectively cope with change, managing risk and uncertainty whilst adapting to shifting conditions.
• Capable of communicating both verbally and in writing across colleagues and stakeholders both internally and externally
