  • Drive the design and development of critical implant sub-components, including anchors, sutures, and cinching mechanisms.
  • Translate physician and clinical feedback into actionable engineering requirements.
  • Collaborate closely with R&D, clinical, and manufacturing teams, supporting product transfer into a cleanroom manufacturing environment.

This role requires a balance of technical design expertise, clinical insight, and practical problem solving, along with the ability to foster strong relationships across teams and with physicians.

  • Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks preferred) for 3D design and technical drawings.
  • Deep understanding of cardiac anatomy, clinical workflows, and imaging modalities (echocardiography, fluoroscopy); prior cath lab or physician interface experience desirable.
  • Hands-on experience with design, prototyping, and collaboration on manufacturing methods (3D printing, machining / lathe, laser welding) within a QMS.
  • 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.
  • Strong documentation, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical teams and with clinicians.
  • Why Join Meacor?
