Medical Device Engineer

Job Description

As someone in the early years of your career, or a seasoned engineer, you’re looking for a role with a company that will let you flex your creative muscle, challenge your technical skills, and gives you the opportunity for growth and advancement.  

You can stop looking, because this is that role, and we are that company.

So if you’re a Materials, Mechanical or Biomedical Engineer excited to work in a dynamic, industry-leading start-up, we want to hear from you.  

Medical Device Engineer

Your primary goal is to design, build, and test mechanical devices for the automotive, medical device industries, and energy harvesting. We’re looking for someone who can truly own their projects, and carry them independently all the way through design, prototype, and production.  

You will have the independence and freedom to work on your projects as you see fit, but with that freedom comes the responsibility of being understanding and responsive to the iterative nature of the work, and of communicating effectively with rest of the team.  

You also have great technical strength, and you’re more than just book smart – you love digging into projects, getting your hands dirty, and feeling the rush that comes with successfully testing your own creations. You should also be the kind of person who can look at the big picture, and intuitively understand all the work that needs to be put in place to achieve it.  

Practically speaking, you will:  

• • Design, build, and test mechanical devices using programmable shape memory alloy technology. 
  • Take potential products through the entire engineering development cycle from concept through to production. 
  • Design and build testing and validation setups.
  • Perform analytical testing to characterize material properties.
  • Solve problems of varying nature and complexity.
  • Support procurement and commissioning of automation, mechanical, and manufacturing equipment
  • Support marketing and business development, production, quality, and research and development efforts 
  • Perform mechanical/material properties characterization under ISO/ASTM standards 
  • Document activities inside a structured Quality Management System. 
  • Work independently in goal-oriented environment.
