Communicating with subject matter experts to create design verification and design validation plans.
Participating in cross-functional activities such as creating and reviewing design inputs, conducting risk assessments, developing test strategies, and guiding test protocol and method development.
Building and supporting Risk Management and Usability Engineering files.
What you'll need to succeed:
Bachelor’s degree in an engineering, science, or technical field is ideal
What we're looking for in you:
Experience with medical device development process is not required; any previous experience or knowledge of the topic would be an asset
