By joining the Kardiumteam, you can help make a difference in the lives of millions around the world.

We have developed a ground-breaking medical device for the diagnosis and treatment of the most common heart rhythm disorder, atrial fibrillation – which can cause stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications.

Kardium’smission is to deliver the best treatment for atrial fibrillation. To achieve this, we have developed The Globe® Pulsed Field System – we have a fantastic technical team that has developed a product with strong, unique, and customer-valued differentiators versus other solutions on the market. We have built connections with key opinion leaders who are already using the Globe System and are helping to tell our story.

We are now preparing for our upcoming commercial launch. This is an exciting and significant milestone in our journey to bring this ground-breaking technology to patients.

We are seeking a curious, self-driven, and technically strong Engineering Research Scientist to support the exploration of new design principles and materials for future iterations of the Globe System. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a hands-on, research-focused environment and is passionate about solving complex engineering challenges.

Please note, this opportunity is a hybrid work arrangement, located in Burnaby, BC.

As part of the Special Engineering Projects team , you will conduct engineering research, benchtop testing , and pilot studies to develop and deliver practical solutions to the most difficult technical and engineering challenges facing the organization .

As Engineering Research Scientist , you will report to the senior manager of Special Engineering Projects, and will work closely with the Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering teams to investigate and validate new materials, bonding techniques, and surface treatments. This role will contribute to the development of innovative solutions that enhance the performance and manufacturability of our medical devices.

• Assisting the mechanical design teamand manufacturing engineering team byexploringnew solutions for the development of next-generation Globe devices.
• Researching alternative and improvedmanufacturingmethods, including joining techniques, surface treatment,coating,plating,and sealing.
• Designing and conducting experiments using a methodical and systematic approach, applying the scientific method and Design of Experiment (DoE) principles.
• Documenting and analyzing test results to inform product and manufacturing process design decisions.
• Communicating effectively with external vendors and internal stakeholders to evaluate feasibility and implementation of new processes.
• Collaborating with Systems and Testing teams to ensure that output of alternative and improved manufacturing methods meet Design Input Requirements.
• Participating in root cause analysis when design or manufacturing issues arise, contributing to process or product updates.
• Documenting test results,procedures,and processes in a clear and efficient manner,and which lend themselves to efficient hand-off to other teams within the company for implementation.

Our Kardiumteam is smart, creative, and passionate about developing cutting-edge medical devices to help improve people’s lives. We work in a collaborative environment based on trust and respect. We understand that only by working together can we solve what was thought unsolvable.

Team members will typically havea very strong physics, chemistry, material science, experiment design, and analysis backgrounds. They will excel atidentifyingkey questions needing answers, and developing clear and efficient experimental means of confirming appropriateness and adequacy of proposed solutions.
