Summary
Leads engineering teams developing medical devices and health technology from concept through regulatory approval, market launch, and post-market lifecycle management. Distinct from general hardware/electronics focuses through its grounding in medical device design controls (ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820.30), risk management (ISO 14971), software lifecycle (IEC 62304), and electrical/usability standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 62366). Managers in this focus own regulatory strategy, verification/validation, biocompatibility/sterilization/packaging constraints, and structured collaboration with clinical, regulatory, and manufacturing teams — alongside team leadership, mentorship, project plans, and budgets — using engineering and analysis tools such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Pro/Engineer, Mathcad, MATLAB, LabVIEW, Zuken, Minitab, SAS, three-dimensional motion capture software, and Microsoft Project.
