The Design Controls Engineer (L5) will be the centralized owner of Dandy’s design control execution across hardware, materials, packaging, and software. Design activities at Dandy are distributed across EPD (software), operations, manufacturing engineering, product, and quality. This role ensures design control evidence (DHF/RMF/traceability/V&V) is consistently created and maintained for new products and changes - while working within the existing QMS change control process
Job Responsibility:
Build and own design controls execution (HW + SW)
Establish and maintain Dandy’s Design & Development procedures (ISO 13485 §7.3) and supporting templates: Design Plans, Design Inputs/Outputs, Design Reviews, V&V plans, and DHF structures for both hardware and software
Define a scalable DHF / design evidence model that fits Dandy’s distributed development structure and multi-site operations
For every relevant change (software feature release, hardware/material spec change, packaging change, labeling/IFU change), own the design-change impact assessment: what DHF/RMF/traceability/V&V updates are required and what evidence must be created
Ensure design-change work is executed through the established QMS change control workflow, including proper linkage to controlled documents, records, and training impacts where applicable
Partner closely with Regulatory and Quality to flag when design changes may affect regulatory commitments and require additional documentation or testing
Drive risk management integration
Drive risk management activities per ISO 14971, integrating hazard analysis, FMEAs, and risk controls with verification evidence and traceability
Ensure risk files are current and connected to design decisions, design reviews, and releases
Verification / Validation and design transfer readiness
Author and review verification and validation protocols/reports, including: hardware/material validation (e.g., formulation/spec changes, packaging validation triggers)
software lifecycle documentation aligned to IEC 62304 expectations where applicable
Establish design transfer expectations linking development to manufacturing/release readiness (traceability through BOMs, process validation inputs, release documentation, and handoff criteria)
Cross-functional leadership + enablement
Lead cross-functional design reviews across hardware, software, and material development teams
ensure risk, validation, and design-change documentation are integrated
Coach internal teams (EPD, Ops, Product, Manufacturing Engineering) on design control expectations and “how we do it at Dandy,” using practical checklists and templates
Audit / inspection readiness and defense
Serve as SME and key presenter during external audits (e.g., BSI) for design controls-related scope
Defend Dandy’s design control approach and evidence during auditor questions
identify gaps and drive remediation plans to closure
Implement and maintain the document/record structure for design evidence in the QMS (e.g., Dot Compliance) in partnership with QMS/Doc Control
Requirements:
3+ years of experience in medical devices / life sciences with deep focus on design controls, V&V, and risk management (startup/scale-up experience strongly preferred)
Proven track record building and operating design control frameworks in environments where development is distributed across multiple teams
Strong working knowledge of: ISO 13485 (design & development controls, design changes)
