Senior/Staff Process Development Engineer
All the health information we need is within us, just below the skin. SAVA is redefining how people interact with their health by developing the most advanced biosensing technology, capable of accessing bodily information in a painless, real‑time, and affordable way.
The Role
Process Development Engineer (onsite) who turns manual workflows into robust, scalable manufacturing processes. This role bridges hands‑on experimentation and data‑driven decision‑making, driving early prototypes to production‑ready systems in a fast‑paced, multidisciplinary environment.
You’ll collaborate with internal teams such as Sensor Development, Automated Equipment, Mechanical Engineering, and Data Engineering and external vendors to transform uncharacterised manual or semi‑automated processes into well‑defined, optimised, and monitored manufacturing workflows.
You will act as the subject matter expert for 2–4 manufacturing processes, defining process windows and recipes, characterising limits, and optimising for quality, yield, and throughput—enabling seamless integration with evolving product designs.
Process Development
* Develop scalable, repeatable processes from early manual or semi‑automated stages
* Define process parameters, windows, and manufacturing recipes
* Characterise process limits and optimise for yield, throughput, and stability
Process Control & Metrics
* Establish and monitor metrics for quality, throughput, and yield
* Implement systems to track and visualise process health
* Use data to drive decision‑making, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement
Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Ownership
* Act as the project manager for your processes, aligning priorities and timelines
* Communicate risks, wins, and progress clearly to stakeholders
* Liaise with suppliers and internal teams to enable successful process execution
* Collaborate closely with Sensor Development, Automated Equipment, Mechanical Engineering, and Data Engineering teams
Verification & Validation
* Develop test protocols and qualification strategies (IQ/OQ/PQ)
* Ensure processes meet functional and regulatory requirements
* Support operator training, auditing, and vendor management
What We’re Looking For
* Degree in Engineering (Manufacturing, Mechanical, Industrial, or Biomedical)
* 2–5 years of experience in process development or manufacturing engineering, preferably in a regulated industry (medical devices, aerospace, automotive, etc.)
* Proven ability to develop, characterise, and optimise manual or semi‑automated manufacturing processes
* Strong background in experimental design, statistical analysis, and root‑cause problem solving
* Hands‑on experience with setting process windows, recipes, and acceptance criteria
* Familiarity with process qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ) and test method validation
* Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously and working cross‑functionally with R&D, automation, data, and mechanical engineering teams
* Strong communication skills to clearly convey technical issues, risks, and results to stakeholders at all levels
Bonus Points For
* Experience with data‑driven process control, manufacturing dashboards, or metrics development
* Exposure to high‑volume or scale‑up manufacturing environments, specifically medical devices
* Proficiency in statistical tools (e.g., JMP, Minitab, or similar)
* Lean Six Sigma Black Belt or equivalent process improvement training
