Vaporox is a Denver-based medical device company focused on improving outcomes in chronic wound care. Its second-generation device, the VHT-200, received FDA 510(k) clearance in March 2023 and is currently used across skilled nursing facilities and outpatient settings. Vaporox’s therapy is adopted as an add-on to standard wound care, integrating into existing workflows without introducing new reimbursement or operational complexity. The company holds a strong intellectual property position and is led by a team with deep experience in medical devices, manufacturing, and reimbursement.

This role is a hands-on manufacturing engineering position supporting the build, testing, and ongoing improvement of an FDA-cleared electro-mechanical medical device. You will work closely with senior engineers, quality, and operations to support manufacturing processes, product testing, and field reliability activities.

The position is well-suited for an early-career engineer who enjoys working with physical hardware, troubleshooting issues on the bench, and supporting continuous improvement in a regulated environment. You will not own regulatory or quality systems, but you will work within them and execute defined processes.

Strong attention to detail, the ability to follow documented procedures, and clear communication are essential. This role involves a mix of lab work, documentation support, and collaboration with internal teams and external suppliers.
