Job Summary
MedTech Catapult is a national initiative for accelerating the development of high-value MedTech projects through an in-house product engineering unit. This productization unit is responsible for supporting the development of technologies through the medical device development cycle to produce full-fledged hardware product systems. The Lead Engineer will report to the Lead, Product Engineering.
Job Responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of integrated hardware and firmware solutions for innovative medical devices.
- Drive embedded system architecture, firmware development, and electronics design to meet product requirements.
- Translate or decompose product requirements to lower-level embedded subsystem requirements.
- Develop control systems, PCBs, and embedded software to support both prototype and production phases.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to achieve optimized, manufacturable product designs.
- Conduct system integration, testing, debugging, and validation of hardware and software components.
- Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and regulatory compliance activities (e.g., IEC, ISO standards).
- Support the development of intellectual property in device design and technology know-how.
- Prepare and maintain clear technical documentation in line with quality management systems (e.g., ISO 13485).
- Engage with external partners, vendors, and suppliers as needed to define specifications and ensure project success.
- Support other engineering or product development activities as required.
Requirements
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics, Computer Science, or a related field.
