  • Experience supporting regulatory submissions (FDA IDE / PMA, EU MDR) and contributing to pre-clinical or early clinical trial activities is highly desirable.
  • Familiarity with testing standards such as ISO 5840 and ISO 5910.
  • Working knowledge of statistical techniques such as design of experiments (DOE), tolerance analysis, and verification testing.
