Job Summary
Imagine working with a global team of talented people who are committed to creating the world’s best medical technology. Imagine a role where your skills and attributes contribute to improving millions of lives. Because at ResMed, you will.
As a Mechanical Engineer within the Sleep Product Lifecycle Engineering (PLE) team, you will provide technical ownership and mechanical engineering support for released Sleep Care devices and accessories throughout their lifecycle. The team is responsible for sustaining products already in market, ensuring they continue to meet quality, reliability, manufacturability, compliance, and customer requirements.
Typical activities include investigating product and manufacturing issues, implementing engineering changes, supporting supplier and component changes, conducting technical assessments, and driving product improvements. You will work closely with cross-regional functional teams to resolve issues, improve product performance, and maintain long-term product continuity.
This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving real-world engineering problems, working across multiple disciplines, and delivering practical solutions for products used by millions of patients worldwide.
This role also provides the opportunity to become a technical owner of commercially successful medical devices used by millions of patients worldwide. You will gain deep expertise in product lifecycle management, manufacturing, quality systems, supplier management, and cross-functional engineering leadership.
TeamThe Sleep Product Lifecycle Engineering (PLE) team is responsible for sustaining and improving released Sleep Care products throughout their lifecycle. The team owns engineering activities related to product changes, supplier and material changes, manufacturing support, quality investigations, reliability improvements, and product continuity initiatives.
Mechanical Engineers within PLE serve as technical owners of released products, ensuring design intent is maintained while supporting ongoing manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and business needs. Unlike New Product Development teams, which focus on creating and launching new products, the PLE team focuses on maintaining and improving products already released to market.
To deliver these outcomes, PLE engineers collaborate closely with Electrical, Systems, Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, Supplier Quality, Product Management, and Operations teams across ResMed's global organization.
