R&D Engineering Manager na 4 C Medical Technologies

Description

POSITION SUMMARY

The R&D Engineering Manager will be a key member of the R&D team advancing 4C Medical’s transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) program. This position combines engineering expertise with clinical insight to translate medical needs into product design requirements.
 

The R&D Engineering Manager bridges the gap between engineering, clinical operations, and physicians, ensuring that design intent aligns with procedural performance and patient outcomes.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Analyze product performance data as well as clinical and anatomical data relevant to procedural parameters with the goal of continuous improvements in procedural steps and product design optimizations.
• Lead any case learnings findings with cross-functional teams (e.g., clinical, therapy development, regulatory, etc.) to ensure detailed procedural review, device performance and other analyses. 
• Proactively incorporate case learnings to training materials. 
• Assist with physician training and case observations to document procedural learnings and device behavior.
• Conduct pre-clinical and simulated-use testing to assess device performance and user interaction.
• Maintain familiarity with competitive technologies and clinical literature in structural heart interventions.
• Translate clinical and physician feedback into actionable product requirements and engineering specifications.
• Actively participate in the preparation of technical documentation, risk assessments, and regulatory submissions.
• Travel up to 10% (pre-clinical and clinical site support)

Requirements

Education
