Department :

Research & Development

Must have : Experience with Delivery Systems

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and driven R&D Engineer to join our dynamic team supporting a pioneering R&D project within the Aortic Vascular program.

This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in the design and development of an innovative endovascular repair device aimed at treating complex aortic aneurysms and dissections.

You will contribute to the full lifecycle of a cutting-edge medical device—from initial concept and feasibility through to design, verification, validation, and eventual commercialisation.

Your work will help bring forward a novel solution to address significant unmet patient needs in the treatment of life-threatening aortic conditions.

Key Responsibilities

Contribute to the design, development, and refinement of a next-generation aortic endovascular repair system.

Support feasibility studies, prototype development, and functional testing.

Assist in defining and executing verification and validation plans, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820).

Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including clinical, regulatory, quality, and manufacturing.

Participate in risk management activities, including FMEA and design hazard analysis.

Document design controls in line with internal and external standards.

Engage in iterative design processes using input from clinical experts, pre-clinical testing, and simulation data.

Contribute to the preparation of technical documentation for regulatory submissions and design reviews.

Stay abreast of emerging trends in endovascular technologies and aortic repair therapies.

Qualifications and Skills

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.

1–5 years of experience in medical device design and development (preferably within cardiovascular or endovascular domains).

Hands-on experience with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks) and rapid prototyping techniques.

Understanding of anatomy and physiology relevant to vascular / aortic systems is a strong plus.

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a creative, innovation-driven mindset.

Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.

Experience working in a regulated environment (e.g., ISO, FDA) desirable.
