Regulatory Approval and Compliance for Market Expansion
During my tenure in the R&D department of the company, I played a crucial role in ensuring the regulatory approval and compliance necessary for our products to be sold in the USA and Europe. This project was of utmost importance, as it involved meeting stringent requirements set by regulatory bodies to ensure the safety and efficacy of our products in the market.
As part of the engineering team, my primary responsibility was to oversee the submission process from an engineering perspective. This involved meticulously reviewing and verifying all processes to ensure they were bulletproof and aligned with the regulatory standards. I conducted a comprehensive analysis of work instructions, ensuring their accuracy and relevance to the submission requirements. By working closely with various departments such as designers and quality engineers, I ensured the inclusion of all necessary information in the submissions.
Additionally, I focused on the engineering aspects of the products themselves. I went through rigorous phases of review, meticulously examining drawings, critical-to-quality (CTQ) parameters, and tolerances to ensure they were accurate and in line with the regulatory standards. I also ensured that all contact materials used in the products were specified appropriately within the submission.
Working at a senior level within the company, I collaborated closely with the directors to drive the completion of the submissions on time. This often required putting in long hours and working under high pressure due to the criticality of the project. The company's future success depended on obtaining regulatory approval within the specified timeframe, and I was committed to achieving this goal.
By successfully completing the regulatory submissions on time, I contributed to the company's expansion into new markets and ensured compliance with regulatory requirements. This accomplishment not only allowed the company to continue its operations but also paved the way for enhanced business opportunities and growth.
Overall, my involvement in this project demonstrated my meticulous attention to detail, ability to work under pressure, and strong collaboration skills. It highlighted my dedication to ensuring regulatory compliance and played a pivotal role in securing the company's future success in the highly regulated healthcare industry.
Acquisition and Product Integration
In my previous project at Corin, I was part of a significant project that involved the acquisition of Tornier, a company based in France and Ireland. This strategic acquisition aimed to expand Corin's product portfolio and market presence. As the lead engineer in this project, my primary responsibility was to familiarize myself with the products manufactured by Tornier and facilitate their seamless integration into Corin's existing lineup.
One of the key focus areas of the project was the integration of Tornier's flagship products, namely the Dynacup and Double Mobility hip replacement cups. These products were among the top sellers in Tornier's portfolio, and my role involved understanding their design, manufacturing processes, and quality standards. By working closely with the Tornier team, I ensured a smooth transition and alignment of these products with Corin's established standards.
In addition to the hip replacement cups, I also supported projects involving stem implants and knees, ensuring that the engineering activities for these products were completed within the set timelines. This involved collaborating with cross-functional teams, conducting design reviews, and overseeing the manufacturing and testing processes to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and quality standards.
Throughout the project, I demonstrated strong project management skills and a keen attention to detail, enabling the successful integration of Tornier's products into Corin's portfolio. By completing all engineering activities on time, I contributed to the overall success of the acquisition project, which had a scope valued at 23 million pounds.
Overall, my involvement in the Corin-Tornier acquisition and product integration project showcased my ability to adapt to new technologies and product lines, effectively collaborate with diverse teams, and deliver results within a challenging and dynamic business environment.
