Company & Job Overview

Our Client is a medical device company focused on developing solutions to improve lives impacted by kidney disease. The Client offers the Moda-flx Hemodialysis System, a user-friendly, mobile, and connected hemodialysis system designed to maximize clinical flexibility and ease of use for both clinical and non-clinical users. The system combines flow rate capabilities of conventional in-center dialysis devices with a fully integrated reverse osmosis (RO) water filtration system to provide a broad range of prescriptions and meet the needs of any professional dialysis care setting.

We are seeking a Component Engineer to lead component engineering activities across product development and manufacturing. This role has primary responsibility for component governance, risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and supply continuity. You will partner closely with Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and Manufacturing to establish robust component strategies, manage lifecycle risks, evaluate Product Change Notifications (PCNs), ensure RoHS/REACH compliance, qualify alternate sources, and drive cost optimization initiatives. This position plays a critical role in maintaining a resilient component portfolio that supports uninterrupted manufacturing, regulatory requirements, and long-term product sustainability.

Key Responsibilities

Component Selection & Design Support

• Partner with Engineering during product development to ensure component selections meet performance, cost, quality, and supply continuity objectives.
• Review new component introductions for technical suitability, approved sourcing, and long-term availability.
• Support design reviews by identifying component-related risks and recommending mitigation strategies prior to design release.
• Support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) related to component additions, substitutions, and obsolescence.

Component Lifecycle & Risk Management

• Monitor component lifecycle status (Active, NRND, EOL) and proactively identify supply chain risks.
• Develop and implement mitigation strategies, including alternate component qualification and second-source recommendations.
• Evaluate supplier changes, Product Change Notifications (PCNs), and End-of-Life (EOL) notices for business and technical impact.
• Support long-term component strategies to minimize supply disruptions and sustain product availability.

Compliance & Component Governance

• Ensure components comply with applicable regulatory and environmental requirements, including RoHS, REACH, and conflict minerals.
• Maintain approved component specifications, manufacturer information, and sourcing data within PLM and ERP systems.
• Support component standardization initiatives to reduce complexity and improve reuse.
• Maintain component data integrity and support audit readiness.

Supply Chain & Cost Optimization

• Partner with Supply Chain to identify long lead-time components and develop sourcing strategies to improve supply continuity.
• Engage suppliers to evaluate alternate manufacturers, cross-references, and equivalent components.
• Support supplier qualification activities and technical evaluations of new component sources.
• Identify opportunities for component cost reduction through standardization, alternate sourcing, and value engineering.

Cross-Functional Support

• Serve as the primary technical interface between Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, Manufacturing, and suppliers on component-related matters.
• Support manufacturing and supplier teams in resolving component-related issues during DVT and production builds.
• Participate in cross-functional risk assessments to improve component reliability, availability, and manufacturability.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives related to component management and supply chain resilience.

Data & Documentation Management

• Ensure component documentation, compliance records, and technical specifications are complete prior to product rel
