Additional Information
Purpose
We are looking for an experienced Scientist I Medical Device Mechanical Engineer to join our Injectables Device Development team to help us accelerate AbbVie's combination products from proof-of-concept through submission, industrialization and launch.
Our team has end-to-end accountability for commercial development, submission, industrialization and marketed product support for injection devices that enable the delivery of AbbVie's innovative medicines. In the course of our work, we collaborate with early-stage CMC, Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs, Internal and External Manufacturing, and other cross-functional colleagues to ensure timeliness, robustness and market success.
As a Scientist I Medical Device Mechanical Engineer at AbbVie you will be part of a multi-disciplinary team of professionals working at the intersection of engineering and biopharmaceuticals. The problems you would help to solve relate not only to the function of innovative injection systems, but also the way in which they interact with drug products and the human body. You would be responsible for advancing programs that combine proven delivery systems with viable commercial drug assets. If you are a self-motivated person who thrives on solving complex problems and are excited by the idea of putting life-changing therapies in the hands of patients, this might be the opportunity for you.
