NeedleTech Products, Inc, North Attleborough Center, Massachusetts, United States,
PURPOSE OF JOB
A Senior R&D Engineer is required to support Needletech Product’s world-class Medical Device Design Services team through a phase of rapid growth due to new business activities. This position will report to the Design Services Manager and will be responsible for supporting all aspects of the Product Development Process. The role will require a hands-on approach involving design, prototyping, and development of novel interventional guidewire and catheter devices for our clients in the vascular access and therapies sector. The successful candidate will apply their diverse engineering and problem-solving skills to develop novel solutions which exceed customer expectations, while also providing excellent internal and client-facing communication skills. Given the nature of minimally invasive intravascular products, the ideal candidate will have a good eye for detail and possess manual dexterity skills to manipulate small components during the fabrication of prototype medical devices. The range of projects that the role will support will be diverse and present an opportunity to acquire significant skills in the development of novel interventional medical devices.
