👩💻 Your Impact

As Design Engineer, you will design and develop new medical devices from first concept through to final, manufacturable designs, making sure every product is safe, effective, and built to the standards the people who rely on them can trust. Working in SolidWorks, you will bring designs to life in 3D, oversee the manufacture of prototypes, and collaborate across the team on usability and safety testing.

This is a role where careful engineering shapes real outcomes. As ViCentra scales, you will help turn concepts into dependable products, documenting each phase, guiding production, and solving the hands-on challenges that stand between a promising idea and a device people can count on.

🔧 What You’ll Take On

In your role, you will:

• Design and develop new medical devices from concept through to final, manufacturable designs.

• Create 3D models in SolidWorks and oversee the manufacture of prototypes.

• Provide input on assembly, manufacturability, usability, cost effectiveness, and reliability of parts against product specifications.

• Write procedures and give clear instructions to production for new products and assemblies.

• Produce reports that document every phase of the design and development lifecycle.

• Review reporting undertaken by technicians, and prepare testing and design documentation.

• Run GMP process validations and complete the quality system documentation that lets new processes go live with confidence.

• Communicate effectively with management, peers, and vendors, and keep current with relevant scientific and technical developments.

• Champion compliance with every approved quality process and regulatory, legal, and company standard, because the people who depend on our devices are counting on it.

• Bring curiosity, energy, and a keen eye for detail to everything you touch — always hunting for better ways to solve the problems that matter to the people who use our devices.
