Then apply today and join us in Device Manufacturing Development (DMD), Projects, and Product Control Development.

The position

As Senior Device Engineer, you collaborate with a broad stakeholder landscape and in different projects to develop Control strategies within Manufacturing, Release and Submission of medical devices and Combination product testing. You are involved every time a new Site or a new Contract Manufacturing Organisation (CMO) will be implemented globally. Most of the CMO’s are in Europe and USA.

You will be part of a highly engaged and dedicated professional team, and your responsibility will be to own, develop, and optimize Device Quality Frame Specifications (QFS) and associated documents for example submission. These specifications determine if the Drug Device Combination products have the required quality to be released for next process in the value chain and are vital to ensure that Novo Nordisk delivers a quality product to patients all over the world. The purpose of a QFS is to translate related design inputs, design outputs and safety risk management outputs into a specification to ensure quality and safety requirements needed to release an injectable finished product.

Some of your key activities include:

• Working with regulations, risk documentation, and quality control to set up requirements and parameters for testing during production (In-Process Control) and in Quality Control (QC)
• Becoming an expert of the submission process for new countries or new product introduction
• Being part of cross functional project groups responsible for implementation and improving quality level of new combination products and acquisition products
• Providing global production/QC support and take part in driving improvement projects on own internal processes

There will be opportunities for travel activities in small scale (1 time a year).

Qualifications

To be successful in this role, we imagine you:

• Have previous experience within quality assurance or regulatory affairs and have worked with suppliers in a global environment
• Hold a Master’s degree within relevant Engineering disciplines, biotechnology pharmacy, veterinarian, or equivalent
• Demonstrate fluency in both written and spoken English

It would be considered a strong advantage if you possess knowledge of ISO13485, GMP, validation, and Lean.

On a personal level, you make a difference and through your commitment and perseverance, you complete your tasks in close cooperation with your colleagues. You are collaborative and enjoy sharing knowledge and experiences with stakeholders. You’re independent and not afraid to take the initiative and make decisions.

We also welcome applicants from other branches, as long as you share our passion for quality, GMP, and problem solving and are keen to acquire professional competencies to become what we describe as an “ideal candidate”.

About the department

You will be part of DMD, Product Control & Global Support, where we support device development from the early R&D development stages into production for clinical trials and finally into production to market.

We complement one another’s knowledge and skills, always seeking to help and support when someone needs it. At work we try to keep a light and informal tone, so if you can bring a dose of healthy sense of humour along, then you will fit right into the team.
