Quality Systems Engineer / Senior Quality Systems Engineer

Care to find solutions?

Join a team of good people doing good work with intent. People like you, who care to make a difference.

About the opportunity

Our strong focus on research and development creates a regular flow of new and innovative medical devices. Our Design Quality teams work closely with Product Development and cross-functional teams to ensure our products meet customer, business and international regulatory requirements.

We have opportunities across our Infant Care, Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV), Invasive Ventilation & Humidification (IV&H) and OSA teams, based at our head office in Auckland, New Zealand. Immigration and relocation support will be provided to preferred candidates.

The focus varies across our teams:

• Infant Care, NIV and OSA have a stronger focus on new product introduction (NPI) and product development, applying Design Controls as products progress through development, verification and validation, and towards market release. NIV and OSA primarily support mechanically based consumable products, while Infant Care also includes more complex capital products.
• IV&H has a stronger focus on sustaining and lifecycle activities, supporting established, higher-risk capital products and associated consumables. You’ll help maintain compliance and drive ongoing product and quality improvements.

Across all teams, you’ll partner with Product Development, Regulatory, Clinical, Operations, Marketing and other Quality teams to provide practical quality guidance and help deliver safe, effective and compliant products.

About you

• Design Quality / Quality Engineering within medical devices or another highly regulated environment

• Product verification and validation
• Change control and product lifecycle activities
• Data and statistical analysis to support risk-based decision making
• CAPA, usability engineering and international/EU regulatory requirements
• A relevant Science or Engineering qualification

You’ll be a strong communicator who can build relationships, solve problems collaboratively and confidently influence and constructively challenge decisions while balancing quality, regulatory, product and business needs.

For Senior QSE opportunities

At Senior level, we’re looking for an experienced Design Quality professional who can operate as a trusted quality partner and:

• Provide quality leadership across product development and lifecycle activities
• Act as a subject matter expert in Design Controls and the QMS
