3. Perform engineering analysis as a means of verifying that product concepts have engineering merit and have a high likelihood of meeting the product specifications.
4. Perform detailed design of product solutions including CAD Modeling, Design for Manufacturability and Assembly, Material selection, and Drawing Specifications.
5. Develop detailed drawing of components and assemblies identifying critical criteria to insure product quality.
6. Identify suppliers of components and procure prototype component samples.
7. Perform initial engineering builds of design prototypes.
8. Perform prototype evaluations and debug samples as required.
9. Develop test methods and procedures for verifying that a design meets the product specifications.
10. Prepare protocols and reports of various types included as part of design verification. 
11. Develop procedures and instructions for assembling product designs.
12. Specify or modify production processing equipment required for manufacturing the product.
13. Research and develop custom manufacturing processes as required 
14. Design, fabricate, and verify the installation of assembly fixturing and manufacturing aids.
15. Identify, document, and verify critical in-process and final acceptance product quality criteria.
16. Verify and validate production equipment, processes, and test methods.
17. Support and participate in the risk management process required by the medical device industry
18. Support, guide, and train production personnel in learning the process assembly instructions for the product design.
19. Supports the maintenance of the Engineering lab space by managing calibration of test equipment, maintaining orderly workspaces, and requisitioning management for procuring required lab materials.
20. Maintains professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops; reviewing professional publications; establishing personal networks; participating in professional societies.
21. Manages and communicates with customers and suppliers in a professional manner thereby maintaining the company’s quality reputation.
