About the role

  • The Sr. Design Engineer leads end-to-end development of advanced vascular access devices from early concept through commercialization and design transfer.
  • This role integrates clinical insight, engineering rigor, and regulatory compliance to deliver innovative, manufacturable, and high-quality products.
  • Operating within a matrixed organization, the Sr. Design Engineer partners with Technical Experts and Project Managers to ensure alignment to business objectives, timelines, and portfolio strategy while serving as a technical leader across disciplines.
  • Concept Development: Translate clinical needs, market insights, and user feedback into clear user needs and design inputs.
  • Design and Development: Develop detailed design and development plans, identifying deliverables, gaps, and contingencies.
  • Verification, Validation & Compliance: Lead cross-functional teams in execution of robust design verification strategies.
  • Design Transfer & Manufacturing: Collaborate with manufacturing to ensure robust design transfer and scalability.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science – Engineering or equivalent technical discipline
  • Preferred: Master of Science – Engineering or equivalent technical discipline
  • Minimum of 10 years of previous experience in a related field (e.g., medical device design and manufacturing, or similar regulated industry, plastic processing, injection molding).
  • Deep expertise in mechanical systems, fluid dynamics, and material properties as applied to vascular access and interventional devices, with the ability to apply first-principles engineering to develop and evaluate early-stage design concepts
  • Ability to translate clinical workflows, user needs, and market insights into structured engineering requirements and design inputs, enabling development of innovative, patient-centric solutions
  • Advanced capability in concept generation, feasibility assessment, and simulation-driven design, including development of analytical and computational models to evaluate performance, usability, and risk during early design phases
  • Strong application of Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and usability/ergonomic principles from concept through development to ensure scalable and robust product designs
  • Demonstrated expertise in early-stage risk identification and mitigation, including application of DFMEA, UFMEA, and hazard analysis to guide concept selection and design refinement
  • Strong command of verification and validation methodologies, with the ability to define testable design inputs and ensure traceability from concept through validation in alignment with ISO 14971 risk management principles
  • Ability to design and interpret advanced statistical analyses (e.g., DOE, tolerance analysis, feasibility data interpretation) to support concept down-selection, design optimization, and performance characterization
Benefits
  • Expected Travel: Up to 10%
