  • Lead or support human factors engineering (HFE) activities, including use-related risk analysis and formative/summative usability testing.
  • Apply risk management principles throughout the product development lifecycle.
  • Develop and evaluate prototypes using appropriate fabrication methods; iterate rapidly based on testing and user feedback.
  • Support design for production readiness and work with contract manufacturers and suppliers to optimize cost, quality, and scalability.
  • Evaluate and qualify packaging materials, components, and configurations for device protection, usability, stability, and shipping integrity.
  • Lead packaging qualification activities including seal strength testing, package integrity testing, and accelerated and real-time aging studies.
  • Lead or support sterilization validation activities in partnership with external vendors and laboratories.
  • Coordinate transportation and distribution simulation testing to ensure product integrity through the supply chain.
  • Maintain complete packaging and device documentation within the DHF and DMR.
  • Contribute to regulatory submissions through engineering documentation and technical file development.
• Cross-Functional & Regulatory Collaboration
  • Collaborate with Quality, Regulatory Affairs, Operations, Supply Chain, and the Creative Design team to ensure device and packaging readiness for commercialization.
  • Coordinate testing activities with external laboratories, sterilization vendors, and packaging suppliers.
  • Assist Regulatory Affairs with submissions and documentation related to device, packaging, and sterilization.
  • Participate in design reviews, internal audits, supplier assessments, and regulatory inspections as needed.
  • Contribute to risk management activities related to the device, packaging, shipping, and product transport.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Packaging Engineering, or a closely related field.
• 8+ years of engineering experience, with a minimum of 4 years in FDA-regulated medical device or diagnostics product development.
• Working knowledge of 21 CFR 820 (QSR), ISO 13485, and ISO 11607 quality and packaging standards.
• Hands-on experience with design controls, DHF documentation, and design V&V.
• Experience authoring and executing packaging qualification or sterilization validation protocols and technical reports.
• Experience conducting human factors engineering (HFE) activities per FDA HE75 and IEC 62366-1, including use-related risk analysis and formative/summative usability testing.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks or equivalent 3D CAD software; experience with GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Familiarity with risk management processes per ISO 14971.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration and technical documentation.

Requirements

• IVD Experience:
  • Experience with diagnostic specimen collection, sample integrity requirements, or diagnostic consumable development (e.g., blood collection, lateral flow, or microfluidic devices).
• IVD Experience:
  • Familiarity with CLIA regulations, laboratory interfaces, or point-of-care diagnostic platforms.
• Human Factors:
  • Advanced HFE experience including full summative usability study design and execution, moderating use scenarios with target user populations, and generating HFE reports suitable for regulatory submission.
• Human Factors:
  • Experience applying IEC 62366-1 and FDA HE75 within a formal design control process, including task analysis, use error identification, and critical task definition.
• Experience with Class II or Class III medical devices and exposure to notified body or FDA interaction during submission.

Benefits

• Competitive salary & equity compensation for full-time roles
• Unlimited PTO, company holidays, and quarterly mental health days
• Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental & vision, and parental leave
