R&D Engineer I

• Assist with the design and prototyping of flexible medical devices, components, and test fixtures.
• Operate and maintain in-house prototyping equipment (3D printing, laser cutting, machining, etc.).
• Engage in the design and prototyping of novel medical devices and assemblies.
• Support benchtop testing, data collection, and analysis of prototype devices through the design of custom fixturing and test protocol development.
• Prepare and maintain engineering documentation (drawings, design history, test records).
• Collaborate with the engineering team to incorporate surgeon and clinician feedback into designs.
• Contribute creatively to problem-solving sessions and design brainstorming.
• Learn and apply FDA/ISO medical device standards and design control practices with mentorship from senior engineers.

• B.S. in Biomedical, Mechanical, or related Engineering field (or equivalent experience).
• Hands-on prototyping or lab experience (e.g., 3D printing, machining, electronics, CAD modeling).
• Strong foundation in engineering principles and an eagerness to learn medical device design.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar CAD software (coursework or project experience is acceptable).
• Familiarity with finite element analyses (or a willingness to learn).
• Experience interfacing with metrology equipment such as load cells, servo motors, etc.
• Excellent organizational skills with attention to detail.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work in a small, fast-paced startup team.
• Note: We don't expect you to know everything on day one - we're looking for curiosity, initiative, and the ability to learn quickly in a collaborative environment.

• Exposure to medical devices, surgical robotics, or biomechanics.
• Interest in learning design controls (ISO 13485, FDA QSR) and risk analysis (FMEA).
• Programming or data analysis skills (Python, MATLAB, Arduino, LabVIEW).
• Coursework or projects in biomechanics, biomaterials, or robotics.

• Be part of a small, passionate team where your work has immediate impact.
• Gain broad, hands-on experience across medical device design, prototyping, and testing.
• Collaborate with clinicians, researchers, and engineers at the cutting edge of endoscopic technology.
• Competitive salary, benefits, and opportunities for career growth in a rapidly scaling company.

The pay range for this position is $65,000-80,000 Annual (USD). The successful candidate's particular combination of knowledge, skills, and experience will inform their specific compensation.
