Effectively communicate findings, issues, and recommendations to project teams and stakeholders, and perform all work in compliance with the Quality System and applicable environmental, health, and safety requirements.

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Science with 5+ years of experience, or advanced degree in Engineering or Science with 3+ years of experience in medical device or other regulated product development.

Hands‑on experience testing at least one shipped, transferred, or production‑intent hardware product.

Strong mechanical aptitude with experience designing, building, and troubleshooting test fixtures, lab setups, and benchtop test equipment.

Proficiency with CAD tools such as SolidWorks for fixture design and development.

Ability to independently define test methods and strategy with limited supervision.

Experience with LabVIEW and/or basic scripting tools such as Python or MATLAB for test automation or data analysis.

Experience in test engineering for medical device development.

Experience developing test fixtures and creative test methods for electromechanical systems.

Experience writing and executing design verification protocols and reports.
