From early feasibility through to product launch, you’ll be involved in every stage of development, helping to shape devices that improve diagnostics, treatment, and patient outcomes across a range of clinical applications.
You’ll be joining a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists, collaborating on projects that demand precision, creativity, and a deep understanding of how optics interact with mechanical, electronic, and biological systems. Your work will span simulation, prototyping, testing, and refinement, with a strong emphasis on regulatory compliance and real-world usability.
