Job Description

Be part of something bigger at BD!

We are looking for an experienced Design Quality Engineer to join our team in Limerick, Ireland, supporting an exciting strategic new-product development programme.

This is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in the development of a sophisticated medical device, partnering closely with R&D and cross-functional teams to ensure quality, safety and regulatory compliance throughout the product lifecycle.

Alongside core Build Assurance activities, you are encouraged to help develop and implement new approaches to building, requirements management, and traceability. You will support the evolution of processes and systems for a technically complex product architecture.

About the role

In the role of a Quality Engineer you will offer Quality Engineering expertise across product innovation and build change activities. You will collaborate directly with R&D, Regulatory Affairs, Production, Quality Assurance from suppliers, and other collaborators to embed robust build controls, risk management and quality practices throughout development.

This role would particularly suit someone who enjoys not only working within established Build Assurance frameworks, but also improving the systems, workflows and processes behind them.

Key responsibilities

• Provide Build Quality Engineering support for product development and build modification projects, ensuring effective application of build controls throughout the development lifecycle.
• Develop, review and approve compose control documentation, including build inputs and outputs, requirements, plans for confirmation and assessment, protocols and reports.
• Support and facilitate risk management activities, including hazard analysis, FMEA and other product risk assessments in line with ISO 14971 principles.
• Support design verification, validation and design transfer, ensuring appropriate quality oversight and traceability.
• Participate in build reviews and assess adherence to applicable Quality Management System and regulatory obligations.
• Support investigations into design-related quality issues, including non-conformances and CAPAs, applying structured root-cause analysis and problem-solving methodologies.
• Partner across R&D, Systems Engineering, Regulatory Affairs, Manufacturing, Supplier Quality and other functions while contributing to the continuous improvement of Build Assurance methods, procedures and workflows.

Skills and Experience Required:

• A Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Science or another relevant technical discipline.
• Proven Quality Engineering experience, ideally within medical devices or another highly regulated industry.
• Practical experience working with medical-device design controls and supporting new product development would be an advantage.
• Experience with requirements management and end-to-end traceability, including exposure to electronic requirements, PLM or QMS systems.
• Strong knowledge of risk management, including FMEA, hazard analysis and ISO 14971 principles.
• Experience supporting design verification and validation activities.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across multiple technical and business functions.
• Developing or improving QMS procedures, workflows or Design Assurance processes.

Why this opportunity?

This role offers the chance to work on a strategically important medical-device development programme where Design Quality is involved from the outset.

Rather than simply executing established Design Assurance deliverables, you will have the opportunity to influence how requirements, traceability, DHF documentation and design-control processes are structured and implemented for a complex new product.

If you are an engineer specializing in quality development and enjoy solving complex problems, we would love to hear from you. You will work closely with technical teams and improve systems that support strong product development.

Please note: This role is based at our Limerick site, where here you will be required to be on site 4 days per week.
