Product Development and Test Engineer Impact MedTech Startup

Eye to Eye is a small but stable venture-backed medical technology startup developing FDA Class II electro‑mechanical devices with elements of software to help clinicians and their patients manage glaucoma. We’re well on our way to market with our first release and beginning to plan the next generation of products in our platform ecosystem.

At a six-person startup, every hire changes the trajectory. Your work will touch thousands of patients, and your fingerprints will be on the product for years to come. You won’t be a cog in a giant org chart, you’ll own critical systems from day one, seeing them through to production. You’ll work on real‑time embedded systems, micro‑molded and actuating components, patient‑facing interfaces, and integrate original PCB designs, cellular connectivity, low‑noise signal processing and more as we grow.

We hire those who thrive in lean environments, take ownership, and solve problems with rigor. If you’re looking for a place where your decisions shape the product, culture, and company, this is it.

No fixed office schedule: use the space when you need lab/bench time or collaboration. Hours aren’t a hard 9–5, results and impact matter. The needs for each role will likely change over time and phases of the project.

We are hiring a hands‑on Product Development & Test Engineer to help our team move faster by clearing bottlenecks across mechanical, electrical, firmware, quality, manufacturing, and clinical‑facing development work. This position is a high‑ownership engineering role for someone who notices what is blocked, determines what evidence is needed, builds the fixture or test setup, executes the work, analyzes the data, documents the results, and closes the loop with design, quality, and manufacturing.

You should enjoy moving between the bench, CAD, test plans, data, documentation, and cross‑functional problem‑solving.

Below are examples of your day‑to‑day work:

• Develop, execute, and document engineering tests including DOEs and verification activities.
• Design, fabricate, and validate test fixtures, assembly aids, device build tools, and manufacturing/test setups.
• Build, inspect, and troubleshoot prototype and pre‑production devices, including mechanical assemblies and basic electrical systems.
• Collect data, perform first‑pass analysis, plotting, trending, and communicate results.
• Support root cause analysis, failure investigations, and nonconformance investigations.
• Support our mechanical lead in updating CAD models, drawings, assembly documentation, and tolerance analyses.
• Support design transfer activities, including supplier communication, quotes, part inspection, process risk analyses, pilot builds, and manufacturing readiness.
• Maintain and organize parts, test articles, build records, and lab materials.
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, firmware, quality, clinical, and regulatory contributors to convert ambiguity into executable plans.

We are not prescriptive about background, but relevant work history may include:

• Hands‑on experience developing, testing, or transferring electro‑mechanical products.
• Medical devices, regulated, or safety‑critical products.
• Planning, executing, analyzing, and documenting engineering tests.
• Comfort working with fixtures, prototypes, assemblies, and physical test setups.
  
  Ability to communicate clearly through data, plots, reports, and concise technical documentation.
• Familiarity with CAD, drawings, tolerance analysis, or mechanical design workflows.
• Comfort around electronics, including basic troubleshooting, instrumentation, soldering, or collaboration with EE/firmware leads.
• Exposure to V&V, ISO 13485, ISO 14971, design controls, FDA submissions, Python, or test automation.

We are a Denver‑based team and promote a hybrid work environment. While we operate with flexibility, this role includes hands‑on product, test, fixture, and device‑build work that will require most days spent in‑person at the office/lab.

Compensation will be competitive and includes benefits such as stock options, health insurance, matching 401k, and PTO.
