+ Plan and coordinate verification and integration activities, including system integration testing, verification protocols, and test execution.
+ Contribute to Product Risk Management, helping identify hazards, evaluate risk, and define mitigations in compliance with medical device standards.
+ Drive analytical studies (trade-off, sensitivity, optimization, performance assessments) to guide design decisions and Concept Phase choices.
+ Prepare and maintain high-quality engineering documentation, including requirements, test plans, and Design History File content, following design controls and our Quality Management System.
+ Collaborate across R&D, quality, manufacturing, and clinical stakeholders, balancing technical, usability, cost, and schedule needs to help ensure project success.
What You Need (Minimum Qualifications)
