Job summary

SonicPrecision, based in Eindhoven, is seeking a hands‑on R&D Engineer (junior to medior) to build a catheter prototype that integrates near‑field ultrasound sensing with ablation. You will help prove the concept through bench and pre‑clinical tests, preparing for First‑in‑Human studies.

You’ll work closely with founders and the System Engineer, own parts of the hardware and software stack, and gain rapid growth as the project advances toward clinical use.

Qualifications

• Master’s or PhD in electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, or closely related discipline.
• 1–3 years in medical device development, research instrumentation, or hardware/embedded systems environment.
• Hands‑on across hardware, signal processing, and software integration; ability to wire a circuit, write acquisition code, and interpret ultrasound signals.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and test the prototype catheter system and testing infrastructure for bench and pre-clinical evaluation.
• Make design choices to enable a smooth transition to a clinical system, considering CE marking, sterilisation, and single‑use requirements.
• Develop and validate signal processing algorithms to extract tissue characterisation information from ultrasound data.
• Collaborate with external suppliers and contract manufacturers; coordinate with CARIM/MUMC+ on pre-clinical study setup.
• Contribute to ISO 13485 and IEC 62304 aligned documentation and engineering infrastructure.
