Are you passionate about mechanical engineering? Do you want to work with product development and take part in bringing medical devices to millions of patients globally? Are you motivated by making an impact, and do you thrive on maturing innovative products and solving complex technical challenges?

 Apply now and join us. Together we can develop connected devices and delivery solutions so patients can maximize the benefits of life-changing treatments!

The position

Novo Nordisk is pursuing an ambitious strategy of improving the lives of people living with chronic diseases and driving business growth by innovating and launching connected devices and digital health systems. With a rapidly growing portfolio of device projects, we are now looking for Mechanical Engineers for the development of our drug delivery systems.

You will:

• Participate in one or more interdisciplinary device development projects.
• Bring products from concepts to production, focusing on mid to late phases.
• Take part in development from definition of requirements, product design, and verification.
• Ensure development is done by the Novo Nordisk process for robust design.
• Together with your colleagues, ensure a robust and functional mechanical design by capturing the design intent by kinematic evaluation, tolerance stack-up, structural analysis, and specifications.
• Manage change requests and deviations on late-phase projects and customer complaints on marketed products.

The working day will be dynamic with multiple tasks and interactions. Your success will be driven by your contributions to the execution of the project, your way of engaging with colleagues and stakeholders, and your ability to create highly reliable products and exceptional patient experiences.

Qualifications

To thrive and succeed in the job, we expect you to have:

• A bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering with experience in mechanical mechanism design and designing components, including 3D modeling in either CREO or Catia.
• Knowledge of robust design, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), systems engineering, and risk management.
• Exposure to full lifecycle management of devices or consumer products, including but not limited to advanced mechanical design and virtual development, usability, and transfer to high-volume manufacturing.
• Fluency in written and oral English.

It would be considered an advantage if you have previous experience with:

• Product development and commercialization of new products, preferably with a focus on maturing existing products and taking them to production. Project planning and coordinating activities across teams.
• Experience within the medical device or another highly regulated industry and having ISO 13485, 11608, and 1497 certifications.

As a person, you are comfortable with taking initiative with a ‘can do’ mind-set. You are making independent prioritizations and you like to demonstrate attention to detail. In addition, you are a strong team player, and are recognised for your interpersonal skills.

The positions will span from newly graduated to more experienced, so please do not hesitate to apply if the above looks interesting.
