What is an Engineering Manager at AbbVie?
At AbbVie, the role of an Engineering Manager is pivotal to the company's mission of delivering innovative medicines and solutions. Unlike pure technology firms where engineering might focus solely on software, at AbbVie—particularly within divisions like Allergan Aesthetics or the combination product groups—this role often bridges the gap between technical engineering, quality assurance, and product development. You are not just managing teams; you are ensuring the safety, efficacy, and compliance of medical devices and combination products (such as infusion pumps and delivery systems) that directly impact patient lives.
In this position, you drive the technical strategy for New Product Introduction (NPI) and late-stage development. You are expected to lead cross-functional teams through complex regulatory landscapes, ensuring that products meet rigorous global standards while hitting time-to-market targets. Your work supports key therapeutic areas including immunology, oncology, and eye care. You will navigate a matrixed environment, collaborating with R&D, Regulatory Affairs, and third-party manufacturers to transform scientific breakthroughs into tangible, high-quality medical solutions.
