Plans, executes and functionally directs important engineering assignments, which require independent judgment. Effectively applies standard engineering principles with focus on mechanical design, experimental and computational fluid dynamics; heat and mass transfer to resolve difficult problems, from early exploration to final design with team input.

Job Description:

• Devises new approaches to complex problems through application and adaptation state-of-the-art techniques in the area of expertise, with focus on experimental and computational fluid dynamics; and heat and mass transfer
• Creates innovative solutions that address patient and clinician needs following Standford’s BioDesign process
• Generate and leverage existing and new intellectual property for new therapy and/or clinical use. Also, authors articles in journals and contribute to scientific literature and conferences
• As a good team player, share research outcomes, methodology and cycle-time reduction methods with team members and other divisional personnel
• Supervises/coordinates an engineer and/or technicians on assigned work
• Schedules and leads a team through the planning and execution of a medium size project. This includes constructing detailed, accurate project schedules, interfacing with product development, quality, manufacturing and information technology
• Create and communicate project plans, tasks and deliverables and manage time to meet project deadlines. This includes reporting pertinent information at key milestones through clear, concise oral and written communications.
• Engage in personal and continuing program of learning in order to broaden knowledge to gain knowledge in new fields of general engineering and/or therapy areas in order to improve the individual effectiveness and to avoid technical obsolescence

Job Requirements:

• Display a solid understanding of theories/practices utilized by primary area of expertise.
