Participate in design reviews to assess design verification and validation impact;
Accurately report and track product defects, verify hardware bug fixes, and perform regression testing;
Help generate manufacturing instructions and associated in-process test methods, where necessary;
Manage test equipment to comply with calibration requirements and perform inspection on equipment.
What You’ll Need:

3+ years of related experience;
2+ years of professional experience in a team working on new product development;

Experience designing specialized electro-mechanical and optomechanical test fixtures;
Scripted automated testing (e.g., using Python or JavaScript with Test and Measurement equipment);
Familiarity with CAD software (SolidWorks), prototyping equipment (CNC, 3D printing, laser cutter), and general machine shop experience;
Knowledge of the following standards: IEC 60601, ISO 13485, ISO 14971;
Experience with the medical device product development lifecycle;
Appreciation of puns!
The salary range for this position is $60,000-$75,000 annually. Compensation will be determined based on the individual’s demonstrated experience, education, training, relevant certifications or licensure, and other applicable business and organizational factors.
