At Invibio Biomaterial Solutions, a global leader in medical innovation, we have an exceptional opportunity to join our fast-growing team. This is your chance to make a tangible difference in people’s lives by helping bring cutting-edge trauma care products to market.

Why You?

If you thrive in dynamic, ever-evolving environments and are passionate about leading projects from concept to full-scale manufacture, this could be the role for you. You’ll take ownership of developing and delivering sustainable solutions in a highly regulated medical device environment.

With a strong background in process and part development—whether in medical devices or other regulated industries—you’ll bring technical expertise and people leadership skills to the table.

Relevant qualifications, such as a higher-level NVQ, HNC/D, or degree, are essential, but industry experience speaks just as loudly.

About the Role

As a Senior NPI Engineer, your role will be to design, develop, and deliver sustainable manufacturing processes for new medical devices and components, within our Trauma team. You’ll lead projects through every stage, from feasibility through to full-scale production, ensuring quality, cost-efficiency, and compliance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead New Product Introduction (NPI): Define and manage the NPI process, delivering innovative products into sustainable, full-scale manufacture.
• Design for Manufacture (DFM): Capture stakeholder requirements to ensure cost, quality, and lead-time targets are met.
• Risk Management: Implement and manage risk assessments and compliance standards, including ISO14971.
• Process Validation: Oversee the validation of new manufacturing processes, including URS/DQ/IQ/OQ protocols.
• Procedures: Review and improve key procedures to ensure continuous improvement across manufacturing development.
• Support BAU: Provide technical support for established manufacturing processes after product launch.
• Team Leadership: Supervise and guide NPI and Manufacturing Engineer team members to achieve project deliverables, both directly and via matrix management across multiple sites.
• Working with Suppliers: Ensure high quality standards are maintained with key suppliers, reviewing manufacturing documents to ensure alignment with internal validation requirements.

What You’ll Bring

• A proven track record in introducing new medical devices, components, or validated cleanroom processes into full-scale manufacturing.
• Extensive technical project and team management experience.
• Expertise in process design, validation, and risk management.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to engage with cross-functional teams.
