Job Description

We are a fast-growing medical device company developing advanced Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) solutions for interventional cardiology and structural heart procedures. Our flagship technology integrates real-time fluoroscopy with pre-procedure 3D CT annotations to provide precise intra-procedural guidance, enhancing safety and clinical outcomes.

Our innovation combines CT preprocessing, fluoroscopy preprocessing, AI-driven detection and tracking, anatomical landmark detection, and personalized DRR-based network training with cutting-edge registration protocols. We operate with a small, highly skilled in-house engineering team, supplemented by specialized contractors across several continents.

We are seeking a highly experienced Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and development of a new family of catheters optimized for complex anatomical pathways. The role integrates deep mechanical design expertise with data-driven anatomical insights derived from large-scale CT imaging studies across diverse patient populations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the mechanical and material design of anatomically guided catheters using population-level CT-derived path data.
  • Collaborate with imaging scientists and data engineers to interpret anatomical clustering models and translate them into geometric design parameters.
  • Apply comparative material knowledge from similar devices to select optimal polymers, braiding structures, and reinforcement patterns.
  • Develop and execute bench testing, mechanical validation, and durability protocols to evaluate torque response, flexibility, and navigation performance.
  • Interface with process engineers to transition prototypes to pilot manufacturing, ensuring scalability and reproducibility.
  • Integrate design feedback from clinicians to refine ergonomic and procedural usability.
  • Maintain full compliance with medical device design control standards, including risk analysis (ISO 14971), V&V documentation, and traceability under ISO 13485.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with clinical, quality, and regulatory teams to support Class II / III medical device filings.

Qualifications

  • M.S. or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
  • 8+ years of experience in the design and development of interventional medical devices.
  • Proven success in developing catheters, pacing leads, or delivery systems with complex geometries.
  • Strong foundation in polymer science, braid design, extrusion technologies, and mechanical testing.
  • Experience integrating patient-specific or population-based anatomical data into design processes.
  • Proficient in CAD (SolidWorks, Creo) and FEA tools (ANSYS, Abaqus) for structural and stress analysis.
  • Deep familiarity with catheter manufacturing techniques, including thermoplastic bonding and multi-lumen extrusion.
  • Understanding of biocompatibility, sterilization, and regulatory compliance.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with ability to drive multidisciplinary collaboration.
  • Preferred Skills

  • Experience developing pacing or electrophysiology catheters involving precision navigation and steerability.
  • Exposure to anatomical data clustering and 3D path analysis tools.
  • Hands-on experience with pilot manufacturing and design-for-manufacturing (DFM).
  • Prior work in electromechanical catheter systems or lead delivery devices.
  • We are currently expanding our team. As a start-up, we are fast paced and have a shared goal to succeed in developing unmet healthcare needs in the most efficient way. If you share this vision and are interested in joining us - please apply. We look forward to hearing from you.
