We are specifically looking for individuals with hands‑on experience developing benchtop test and manufacturing fixtures.

This is an exciting opportunity for an individual with varied interests across engineering fields, rather than a true specialist, who may be interested in further developing into a lead Quality Engineer or Regulatory Documentation Specialist role. In many instances, this individual may act as a primary liaison between the engineering and regulatory/quality teams.

• Work to become a technical point of contact across all tools available in our R&D lab.
• Support ongoing R&D and manufacturing efforts by evaluating protocols, recommending, and building fixtures to improve throughput and product testing parameters.
• Participate in all prototyping, testing, and validation processes to ensure product safety.
• Work with cross‑functional teams to design and refine medical devices from concept to production; this may involve circuit board design, mechanical product design, firmware, and software development.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Biomedical Engineering, Comp. Sci./EE, or a related field.
• 1–3 Years of Experience.
• Demonstrable proficiency for independent workflow in two of the following, at a minimum:
  • Mechanical design and physical prototyping (Solidworks, 3D printing, laser cutting, etc.)
  • Firmware/Software Design (C, C++, Python)
  • Electrical schematic capture and PCB layout, Circuit Debugging (Eagle, Altium)
  • Manufacturing process optimization & tool/jig development, ideally with medical devices
• Startup experience;
  Strong problem‑solving skills with a creative and innovative mindset.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in a collaborative environment.
• Experience in documentation for medical devices (Test Protocols/Reports, Design Verification, etc.)
• Experience in change control/documentation control in medtech would be a big +.

Our client offers a unique opportunity to join a dynamic team dedicated to saving lives. As a member of our company, you will have the chance to work on cutting‑edge medical devices that directly impact patient care. We value creativity, innovation, and a passion for making a difference. Our supportive environment encourages professional growth and allows you to tailor your career path according to your interests and expertise.
