You lead technical problem solving, mentor others, and collaborate across functions to advance products through design, development, and launch.

You will support the Urology portfolio
, including legacy products and a recently launched product integrating capital equipment, visualization platforms, and fluid management technologies.

• Lead design quality activities for electrical components, subsystems, and system-level designs on complex electromechanical medical devices and consumables.

• Support products in the midst of launch and post‑market stabilization, navigating evolving priorities while maintaining design control rigor and risk‑based decision making.

• Translate user needs into design inputs/specifications and maintain traceability through design outputs, verification, and validation deliverables.

• Define and execute advanced prototyping, test methods, and verification strategies aligned to applicable standards (e.g., IEC 60601, IEC 62304) and project plans.

• Identify and resolve complex product design issues by driving root cause investigations, design tradeoff decisions, and design changes with documented rationale.

• Create and refine regulated design documentation (including Design History File content) and mentor teams on good documentation practices and required technical evidence.

• Apply and coach risk management, corrective and preventive action, audit readiness, and statistical methods within design and development activities.

• Partner with cross-functional stakeholders (Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory, Clinical, Marketing, and Project Management) to plan and deliver design reviews, milestones, and release readiness.

• Bachelor’s degree in Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.

• Minimum 6 years of experience in medical device product development and/or design quality engineering.

• Experience working within highly regulated industries with formal quality systems and design documentation practices (e.g., ISO 13485 or comparable industry standards).

• Experience with design controls, risk management, and verification/validation planning for electro‑mechanical products.

• A master’s degree in a relevant discipline and certifications such as Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), Certified Reliability Engineer (CRE), or Six Sigma Green or Black Belt

• Experience supporting new product launches and post‑market design improvements for complex electromechanical medical devices and consumables

• Experience with medical device design and software lifecycle standards (e.g., IEC 60601, IEC 62304).

• Hands‑on experience evaluating and testing:

  • Software code (C, C++, C#)
  • Electronic designs, including printed circuit board assemblies and subsystems
  • Mechanical designs and technical drawings
