Reporting to the Senior R&D Manager, you’ll work across every stage of device development alongside Quality, Regulatory and Operations. You’ll thrive in a small, fast-paced environment where flexibility is the norm, and where a good attitude and strong work ethic count for as much as your technical skills.

• Experience in endoscopes, catheters, moulding/micro-moulding and/or polymer and metal-based delivery systems
• Demonstrated leadership experience managing R&D projects, with strong project planning skills
• Knowledge of medical device quality and regulatory requirements, including ISO 13485
• Excellent written, interpersonal and presentation skills
• A self-starter with a positive, 'roll-up-your-sleeves' attitude suited to a fast-moving environment

In this role you will:

• Lead the design, development, manufacture and testing of a novel device, from concept through to regulatory approval
• Provide technical leadership to the R&D team, promoting innovation and high engineering standards
• Support vendors from early development through to production of endoscopes, catheters and delivery systems
• Support Operations in sustaining the manufacturing line through real-time troubleshooting, and CAPA and NCR investigations
• Advise Operations and Quality on optimising manufacturing processes and production flow
• Work with Quality and Regulatory to ensure the device meets user, regulatory and ISO 13485 requirements
• Support KOL relationships with technical demonstrations and data, and contribute to innovation and IP filing
