• A sound understanding of engineering principles, systems thinking and structured problem‑solving approaches.
• Experience working with technical requirements, system interfaces, design documentation or verification activities.
• Strong analytical skills and a methodical approach to investigating and resolving technical challenges.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• An ability to work independently on assigned engineering activities while seeking guidance when appropriate.
• An interest in developing knowledge of medical device regulations, quality systems and product development processes.

Nice to Have

• Experience in medical device development or another regulated industry.
• Experience with engineering development tools such as JIRA, Jama, Confluence or similar platforms.
• Experience working with integrated hardware and software systems.
• Familiarity with medical device standards such as ISO 13485, ISO 14971 or IEC 60601

What Sets You Apart
