Responsibilities:
- Accurately predicting how MR products will be used and could be misused, and identifying safety-critical components, systems, and manufacturing steps associated with those predictions
- Guiding the software and hardware development teams and ensuring designs meet all applicable internal safety specifications and processes
- Plan and conduct appropriate component, sub-assembly and assembly test protocols to effectively support a product safety assessment
- Contributing to product design reviews by identifying safety hazards, and proposing measures to effectively eliminate or mitigate them
- Collaborating with factory management and NPI to identify, implement and control safety-critical steps in the manufacturing processes and to maintain them throughout mass production
- Represent Product Safety in DFMEA/PFMEA sessions
- Prepare and deliver presentations summarizing product safety coverage and risks for project gate reviews
- Participate in the change management process by reviewing proposed changes for possible safety implications
- Participate in CAPA meetings, providing clear hazard and safety risk assessments
- Maintain essential knowledge base and educate the rest of the product safety team on MR-specific hazards and emerging risks
