Who We Are
Join Teva’s Combination Products & Devices (CPD) R&D Team – Shaping the Future of Drug Delivery.
At Teva’s CPD team in Abbots Park, Runcorn, we’re pioneering the development of advanced needle-based injection devices and cutting‑edge technologies to deliver our portfolio of Small Molecule and Generic medicines. From Pre‑Filled Syringes (PFS) to Autoinjectors and Pen Injectors, our diverse device portfolio supports both generic and specialty products across key therapeutic areas including Neuroscience, Immunology, and Endocrinology.
Within CPD Abbots Park, our work is organised into three product technology clusters, each broadly focused – though not exclusively – on a specific subset of injection devices:
* Cartridges & Pen Injectors
* Autoinjectors (AI)
* Pre‑Filled Syringes & Safety Systems (PFS)
The Opportunity
As Senior Device Engineer, reporting to one of the Engineering Team Leaders or to a Project Technical Lead, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our combination products are safe, effective, and compliant with global standards. You’ll apply best‑practice engineering principles, Design Controls, and Safety Risk Management to guide products from concept through to production.
Throughout this journey, you will collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams from across Teva. This will include not only our CPD team of laboratory scientists, human factors engineers, and project managers, but also the wider‑Teva network, including formulation scientists, regulatory experts, marketing and manufacturing from around Teva’s many global sites.
Your expertise in manufacturing technologies – such as plastic injection moulding – will be vital in preparing device designs for seamless transfer into production. You’ll bring creativity and problem‑solving skills to tackle complex engineering challenges, while also contributing to the evolution of our departmental systems and influencing best practices across the team.
How You’ll Spend Your Day
* Support the engineering design and development of drug delivery devices across various stages of development, including early research, design verification and validation, and life‑cycle management.
* Ensure that products in your care are engineered to be reliable and robust through the application of appropriate design, analysis, and testing methodologies.
* Comprehensively specify, verify, and provide objective evidence of compliance for submissions.
* Document design activities in compliance with CPD’s Quality Management System.
* Lead or support Safety Risk Management activities, including hazard identification, risk analysis, and evaluation through the conduct of design Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEAs).
* Support manufacturing, science & technology (MS&T) function in conducting process risk assessments.
* Lead or support technical design reviews to assess design robustness, safety, and documentation quality compliance.
* Lead or support investigations to identify root causes of device‑related issues using techniques such as Fault Tree Analysis and Design of Experiments.
* Contribute to the continuous improvement of departmental processes, including the development and maintenance of SOPs, guidelines, templates, and the introduction of new software tools.
* Provide mentoring and coaching to junior colleagues.
* Manage externally sourced engineering services, including oversight of budgets, timelines, and risk.
* Domestic and international travel may be required (approximately 10%) to support project activities, including visits to suppliers, Teva manufacturing sites, and other stakeholders.
Your Experience And Qualifications
Do You Have :
* Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Engineering, Scientific, or other relevant Technical discipline.
* Proven experience in the design, manufacture, and life‑cycle management of medical devices or combination products from concept through to commercialisation (preferred), or equivalent expertise from a regulated industry.
* A demonstratable high level of independence in executing engineering tasks with minimal supervision.
* Training in Design Controls, medical device Safety Risk Management, and European Medical Device Directive / Regulations (preferred).
* Familiarity with statistical methods relevant to design input definition, verification and validation testing, including the determination of sample sizes proportionate to risk.
* Strong 3D spatial awareness and ability to visualise concepts, mechanisms, and assemblies.
* Working knowledge of SolidWorks 3D CAD software (preferred).
Are You :
* Able to influence and educate peers and stakeholders; confident in professional judgement and decision‑making.
* Bringing strong analytical skills with the ability to assess mechanisms and systems from a first‑principles engineering perspective.
* Comfortable operating in dynamic environments, with the ability to adapt to change, manage uncertainty, and respond flexibly to evolving conditions.
* Effective verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to produce high‑quality engineering documentation.
If so, we’d value hearing from you!
