C-Level : Emerging Medtech Trends & Insights

We are seeking a visionary and experienced Vice President of Research and Development to lead innovation in bioprosthetic tissue heart valves delivered via minimally-invasive, catheter-based approach.

This strategic role is responsible for defining the technology roadmap and overseeing the development of next-generation transcatheter heart valve therapies—from concept through clinical and commercial deployment.

The ideal candidate combines deep technical expertise in structural heart or cardiovascular devices with hands-on experience developing percutaneous delivery systems, and has a strong track record of leading R&D teams in highly regulated medical device environments.

Key Responsibilities :

Strategic Leadership

  • Define and execute the company’s R&D strategy for transcatheter bioprosthetic heart valves and associated delivery platforms.
  • Translate clinical needs, market trends, and technological opportunities into a robust and differentiated product pipeline.
  • Collaborate with the CEO and executive leadership team to align R&D priorities with overall business and clinical objectives.
  • Technology and Product Development
  • Drive the design and development of catheter-delivered valve systems, including valve structure, fixation mechanisms, tissue integration, and delivery catheters.
  • Oversee innovation in tissue processing, material science, device mechanics, and hemodynamic performance.
  • Ensure that all systems are optimized for durability, ease of use, and safe percutaneous deployment.

Cross-Functional Program Leadership

  • Lead a multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, and researchers across device design, prototyping, testing, and validation.
  • Integrate R&D efforts with Regulatory, Clinical, Quality, and Operations teams to ensure efficient development, testing, and manufacturing readiness.
  • Manage project portfolios and technical timelines to meet critical development milestones and go-to-market strategies.
  • Clinical and Regulatory Collaboration

  • Guide development efforts in compliance with global regulatory requirements, including ISO 5840 for transcatheter heart valves, ISO 14971 risk management, ISO 13485, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820.
  • Partner with Regulatory Affairs and Clinical Affairs on preclinical study design, first-in-human planning, and global regulatory submissions.
  • Ensure robust design control processes and risk mitigation throughout all phases of development.
  • External Engagement and Strategic Partnerships

  • Cultivate relationships with clinical key opinion leaders (KOLs), research institutions, contract development organizations (CDMOs), and technology partners.
  • Represent the company’s R&D leadership in investor meetings, regulatory interactions, conferences, and scientific forums.
  • Key Requirements

  • Advanced degree (Ph.D. preferred; MS acceptable with exceptional experience) in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 15+ years of progressive experience in medical device R&D, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role.
  • Demonstrated expertise in the development of catheter-based delivery systems for structural heart or endovascular devices.
  • Proven experience taking Class III transcatheter cardiovascular devices from concept to clinical and commercial stages.
  • Deep understanding of valve biomechanics, tissue handling, percutaneous deployment, and delivery catheter design.
  • Preferred Skills and Experience

  • Direct experience with transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), mitral valve repair / replacement (TMVR), or similar interventions.
  • Knowledge of preclinical (bench and animal model) and clinical testing requirements for transcatheter devices.
  • Experience in fast-paced startup or emerging growth company environments.
  • Portfolio of issued patents, scientific publications, or thought leadership in transcatheter valve technologies.
