You will collaborate with other experts in Medical Devices who have backgrounds in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design, Electronics Design, Electronics Engineering, Physical Engineering, Biomedical Sciences, and various other skills essential for inventing Medical Technology.

In this role, you will lead projects, necessitating experience as a consultant, project manager, or another role involving interactions with third parties. Additionally, you will apply your skills hands-on, directly contributing to the development of new Medical Devices.
We require several years of experience in Mechanical Design of Medical Devices. Familiarity with any 3D CAD tool is acceptable, as we understand that you can be trained on the necessary tools when required. However, knowledge of SolidWorks would be advantageous.
