They combine technological innovation with human-centered design to empower individuals with more freedom and confidence. Their core values drive their mission to create impactful products.

As a design engineer, you will design and develop new medical devices from initial concept to final, manufacturable designs, ensuring each product is safe, effective, and meets the standards that users can trust. You will work in Solid Works to create 3D models, oversee prototype manufacturing, and collaborate with the team on usability and safety testing, making a significant impact on the lives of those who depend on our devices.

• Design and develop new medical devices from concept through to final, manufacturable designs
• Create 3D models in Solid Works and oversee the manufacture of prototypes
• Provide input on assembly, manufacturability, usability, cost effectiveness, and reliability of parts against product specifications
• Write procedures and give clear instructions to production for new products and assemblies
• Produce reports that document every phase of the design and development lifecycle
• Review reporting undertaken by technicians, and prepare testing and design documentation
• Run GMP process validations and complete the quality system documentation that lets new processes go live with confidence
• Communicate effectively with management, peers, and vendors, and keep current with relevant scientific and technical developments
• 3 to 5 years designing and developing medical devices — or products in a similarly regulated industry
• Deep, hands-on knowledge of designing and manufacturing small parts (fine mechanical engineering)
• Injection moulding design and processing experience, plus time in a start-up or scale-up, are both a real bonus
