The Principal Engineer will serve as a key technical subject matter expert for our Surgical Therapies., partnering closely with internal teams and external suppliers to ensure product designs meet user needs—including ease of use, manufacturability, cost effectiveness, and operational efficiency. In addition to deep technical leadership, this role requires strong project management capabilities and a thorough understanding of Design Control and Catalyst processes to drive effective, compliant, and timely project execution.

How you’ll make an impact:

  • Supplier Validation and Product Development Process: Lead the end-to-end technical validation of suppliers during product development, from component design and GD&T reviews to process characterization, capability analysis, and strategic process validation, ensuring robust DFM/DFA integration and quality compliance across all development stages.
  • Build and maintain strong partnerships with R&D, Program Management, Manufacturing, Supplier Quality, and key suppliers to ensure seamless project execution and compliance with internal procedures, QSR, FDA regulations, and ISO standards.
  • Support and contribute to product development efforts by influencing the design and iteration of next‑generation delivery systems and components.
  • Lead cross‑functional teams and external suppliers in the design, development, and testing of complex interventional catheter delivery systems for implantable devices.
  • Oversee and drive timelines for feasibility studies, design verification testing, clinical evaluations, and supplier validation activities required for commercial release.
  • Perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned.

What we look for:

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering or scientific, with 6 years of experience in new product development, process development, commercialization, and/or operations engineering in a highly regulated environment.
  • Travel up to 25% domestically and internationally.
  • On-site work required.

What else we look for:

  • Master’s degree in engineering and/or MBA.
  • Experience in medical device new product development, including successful design optimization and progression from early development through commercialization.
  • Background in at least two of the following areas: interventional access devices, rapid product development, component-level manufacturing, or complex assembly design.
  • Hands-on experience with catheter manufacturing processes, such as extrusions, braiding, molding, laser welding, and bonding techniques.
  • Demonstrated capability to apply sound engineering judgment and technical expertise to solve complex problems; working knowledge of DFM, GD&T, and Six Sigma methodologies.
  • Technical skills in biomedical design and delivery system catheter design.
  • Proven ability to manage and collaborate with external vendors to meet quality, timeline, and technical requirements.
  • Strong experience in rapid product development within cross‑functional teams, including creative design iteration, prototyping, and test method development (e.g., in‑vitro testing).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
