Job Description
This role is ideal for a hands-on Associate Test Engineer or experienced engineering tech who enjoys building, troubleshooting, and improving products in a fast-paced medical device environment. You will work across the full product development lifecycle, from catheter fabrication and device assembly to testing, fixture design, and technical support. Collaborating closely with engineering, R&D, manufacturing, and quality teams, you will support the development and testing of innovative neurovascular products while gaining broad exposure to medical device design, mechanical systems, electronics, and manufacturing processes.
Responsibilities
+ Assemble, test, and troubleshoot prototype and production medical devices to support ongoing development and manufacturing activities.
+ Perform catheter fabrication, inspection, and evaluation to ensure components meet design and quality requirements.
+ Build, maintain, and improve test fixtures, jigs, and development equipment used in product verification and validation.
+ Conduct mechanical, electrical, and functional testing of devices and components, and accurately document test methods, results, and observations.
+ Support engineering teams with product development, validation activities, and process improvement initiatives throughout the product lifecycle.
+ Utilize hand tools, precision measuring equipment, microscopes, and laboratory equipment to build, inspect, and evaluate components and assemblies.
+ Assist with technical support activities, including root-cause investigations and product troubleshooting, to resolve issues and improve reliability.
+ Support 3D printing activities for prototypes, fixtures, and design iterations, contributing to rapid prototyping and design refinement.
+ Collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to execute work in a highly regulated medical device environment.
+ Maintain accurate documentation and records in accordance with company procedures and regulatory expectations.
+ Interpret schematics and use test equipment to perform electromechanical testing and validation of medical devices.
+ Participate in continuous improvement efforts by identifying opportunities to enhance test methods, fixtures, and processes.
ESSENTIAL
SKILLS:
+ Minimum BS in Engineering and some project or internship experience in device lab testing, OR AS Degree and 3+ years of experience as an Engineering Technician, or in a related hands-on technical role.
+ Strong mechanical aptitude with demonstrated hands-on troubleshooting skills in electromechanical systems.
+ Experience working with hand tools, precision tools, and test equipment in a lab or manufacturing setting.
+ Ability to read and follow technical drawings, schematics, work instructions, and procedures.
+ Comfort assembling small, intricate components with a high degree of accuracy and consistency.
+ Proficiency in performing testing, including mechanical, electrical, and functional tests, and documenting results.
+ Strong attention to detail and a clear commitment to quality and compliance in a regulated environment.
+ Effective verbal and written communication skills in English to collaborate with cross-functional teams and document work clearly.
+ Desire and motivation to learn and grow into broader engineering responsibilities over time.
NICE TO HAVE:
+
Experience with catheter fabrication, catheter assembly, or neurovascular device manufacturing.
+ Prior medical device technical support experience, including troubleshooting and field or internal support.
+ Experience using Solid Works or other CAD software for fixture design, jigs, or tooling.
+ Hands-on experience designing or building fixtures, jigs, or tooling for testing and assembly.
+ 3D printing experience, particularly for prototypes, fixtures, and iterative design development.
+ Experience working with microscopes and precision inspection equipment for detailed component evaluation.
+ Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a related technical field.
+ Startup or R&D product development experience, especially in fast-paced, innovation-driven environments.
+ Interest in tinkering with new technologies and contributing to products with significant growth potential.
