About The Team

Noah Medical is seeking an experienced and visionary Director or Senior Director of Product Engineering to lead the global Product Engineering organization across both Capital Systems and Instruments & Accessories (Consumables).

  • Foster strong alignment across sites and cultures through transparent communication, shared goals, and effective remote collaboration practices.
  • Build and maintain relationships with contract manufacturers, suppliers, and external engineering partners in both regions.
  • Continuous Improvement and Systems Development

  • Institutionalize root cause analysis, failure analysis, and closed‑loop corrective action systems across products and sites.
  • Drive adoption of Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Reliability (DFR), and Design for Service (DFS) principles across both new and sustaining products.
  • Leverage lessons learned and field data to inform new product designs and strengthen system architecture for long‑term scalability.
  • Develop and standardize KPIs for reliability, serviceability, redesign cycle time, and product uptime.
