  Own and lead integration work streams to incorporate new technologies into Boston Scientific systems and processes; drive interface definition, requirements alignment, integration planning, and technical decision‑making.
• Design Controls & Quality System Ownership:
  Lead and deliver design control outputs (user needs, design inputs/outputs, traceability, risk management, verification/validation, and DHF documentation) to ensure compliance with relevant standards, regulations, and internal procedures.
• Design and Development:
  Conduct feasibility studies, develop prototypes, and plan/execute testing to optimize product designs and support integration readiness across multiple device models and iterations.
• Problem‑Solving and Compliance:
  Investigate failure modes, perform root cause analyses, and develop solutions to technical and quality challenges; proactively identify integration risks and drive mitigation plans with cross‑functional partners.
• Cross‑Functional
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with cross‑functional and multi‑site teams, including quality, manufacturing, supplier engineering, and regulatory affairs, to ensure successful integration execution, timely deliverables, and clear communication of complex technical information.

• Experience with catheter and/or single‑use medical device design and development.
• Working knowledge of design controls, risk management, and documentation (e.g., requirements, traceability, verification/validation, DHF, change control).
• Demonstrated ability to lead work streams, manage tasks to completion, and influence cross‑functional partners without authority.
• Strong technical problem‑solving and communication skills; able to work independently while receiving guidance on complex and unprecedented problems.
• Ability to travel up to 15%.

• Previous experience with product acquisition integration and/or technology/platform integration.
• Personal drive, individual accountability, and a strong bias for action; independent critical thinker with willingness to challenge the status quo.
• Comfortable working in ambiguity; adaptable and agile in response to evolving priorities.
