You will define the mechanical and airflow architecture for our next generation of pharmacy compounding hoods, aseptic isolators, containment systems, and cleanroom technologies while driving innovation, product standardization, supplier strategy, and long-term technology roadmaps.
Your work will directly influence product performance, manufacturability, supply chain resilience, regulatory compliance, and customer satisfaction.

Evaluate and qualify new technologies and strategic suppliers.
Partner with manufacturing to improve quality, cost, and throughput.
Support product verification, validation, and field performance improvements.
Mentor engineers through technical guidance, design reviews, and problem solving.
This is a technical leadership and fellow role - not a direct people management position designed to allow you to do what you do best – design great systems and products.
