Job description

Metric Bio has partnered with an early stage medical device company developing a first-of-its-kind cardiac mapping platform designed to transform how atrial fibrillation is visualised and treated. Their technology gives electrophysiologists unprecedented spatial resolution and sample density to see AF in a way that simply hasn't been possible before. They are building their core R&D team and this is a foundational engineering hire.

We are looking to hire a Mechanical Engineer on behalf of our partner to join the R&D team and play a central role in the design, development, and iteration of a novel intracardiac mapping catheter. You'll work closely with a small, highly experienced team where your contributions will have direct and visible impact on the product.

You must have:

• 3+ years of mechanical engineering experience in medical device development
• Hands-on catheter design experience (this is essential, not a nice to have)
• Proficiency in 3D CAD design (SolidWorks preferred)
• Experience with design controls, design verification and validation
• Familiarity with FDA design and development requirements and quality management systems
• Comfort working in a resource-constrained early stage environment where you own your domain end to end
