Key Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the design and development of a novel transcatheter heart repair device aligned with user and clinical needs
  • Lead component-level design activities, including detailed drawings, specifications and peer reviews
  • Develop device specifications and generate creative, data-driven engineering solutions
  • Use SolidWorks to review, import and optimise CAD models
  • Build analytical and computational models to predict in-vivo device performance
  • Source, build and test prototypes; analyse and interpret data to drive design decisions
  • Develop and execute verification and validation test methods
  • Prepare clear technical reports and presentations for internal stakeholders
  • Drive risk management activities and support system-level risk-based design
  • Generate technical documentation for the Design History File (DHF) and Device Master Record (DMR)
  • Ensure designs meet requirements for durability, usability, reliability, manufacturability and patient safety
  • Support clinical validation activities and, where required, clinical cases and physician proctoring
What We’re Looking For

Essential Requirements
  • Strong engineering fundamentals applied to medical device development, ideally within cardiovascular devices
  • Experience working in a regulated environment (medical devices preferred)
  • Data-driven approach to problem solving and technical decision-making
  • Ability to manage own workload, timelines and development budgets
  • Excellent written and verbal technical communication skills
  • Collaborative mindset with the confidence to take initiative and challenge decisions when required
Education & Experience
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering or related discipline
  • 2–3+ years’ experience developing Class III medical devices, ideally involving clinical trials
  • Experience with delivery systems or delivery sheaths is highly advantageous
  • Knowledge of materials and processes including Nitinol, fatigue analysis, metallurgy and strength of materials
  • Understanding of in-vitro and in-vivo device performance and implant–tissue interaction
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks or similar CAD tools
  • Working knowledge of FDA, GMP, QSR and ISO 13485
  • Experience preparing technical and regulatory documentation
