Full Job Description
We are looking for a Senior Product Development Engineer who thrives in a small, fast-paced environment and wants to play a hands-on role in bringing innovative medical devices from concept to market. This is not a narrowly defined role-you will be expected to take ownership, operate across design, testing, and development activities, and directly influence product and process outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead product development efforts from early concept through commercialization with a strong focus on execution.
  • Design and iterate components and assemblies using SolidWorks with minimal oversight.
  • Develop, build, and troubleshoot prototypes and test setups in a hands-on manner.
  • Design and qualify equipment (IQ/OQ/PQ) to support both development and early manufacturing.
  • Work closely with Manufacturing, Quality, and Regulatory to ensure practical, compliant solutions.
  • Identify issues quickly and drive resolution without relying on large support teams.
  • Generate and maintain design control documentation in alignment with FDA and ISO requirements.
  • Support design transfer and early production, including time on the manufacturing floor.

What We're Looking For:
  • An engineer who is comfortable operating with limited structure and high ownership.
  • A practical problem-solver who can balance speed with quality and compliance.
  • A team player who communicates directly and effectively in a small group setting.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or similar.
  • 5+ years of product development experience, ideally in the medical device industry.
  • Strong proficiency in SolidWorks.
  • Experience with equipment design and qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ).
  • Working knowledge of design controls and FDA/ISO 13485 requirements.
  • Demonstrated success in a small company, startup, or similar resource-constrained environment.

Preferred Experience:
  • Experience with catheter-based or minimally invasive devices.
  • Familiarity with processes such as extrusion, bonding, and assembly of disposable medical devices.
  • Experience supporting early manufacturing scale-up.
