- Familiarity with FDA regulatory requirements and medical device development processes.
- Experience managing multidisciplinary engineering projects and technical stakeholders.
- Exposure to manufacturing transfer, supplier management and production process improvement.
- The ability to work independently and thrive in a collaborative, fast-moving environment.

Highly Regarded

- Experience developing Class II or Class III medical devices.
- Exposure to biosensors, electrochemistry, analytical instrumentation or sensor technologies.
- Knowledge of ISO 14971 risk management.
- Experience with manufacturing automation and IQ/OQ/PQ.
- Statistical analysis, design of experiments (DOE) or Python.
- Experience taking products from prototype through commercial manufacturing.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

- Work on innovative technology with meaningful clinical applications.
- Play a central role in advancing medical device product development.
- Gain exposure to the full product lifecycle, from engineering through manufacturing.
