Teva R & Development Engineer 

Croatia, Zagreb 

666434921

Join Teva’s Combination Products & Devices (CPD) R&D Team – Shaping the Future of Drug Delivery. At Teva’s CPD team, 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. 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)

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.

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.

• 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 specified, ready to be verified, and provide our submissions with objective evidence of compliance.
  • Documented 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 Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEAs).
  • Support to the 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 established techniques such as Fault Tree Analysis and Design of Experiments.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of departmental processes, including the development and maintenance of Standard Operating Procedures, guidelines, templates, and the introduction of new software tools.
• Mentoring and coaching capabilities, with the ability to support and guide junior colleagues as required.
• Responsible for the management of externally sourced engineering services, including oversight of associated 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.

• 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 relevant regulated industry.
• A demonstratable high level of independence in executing engineering tasks, with minimal supervision. Proactively identifies additional activities required and exercises sound judgement in seeking peer support when appropriate.
• 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).
• 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.
• An effective verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to produce high-quality engineering documentation.
