Most engineers work miles away from the people who use what they build. This one works in the room with them.
A Leeds-based robotics MedTech company with a decade of research at the University of Leeds is already in human clinical trials and now they need someone to sit right at the point where clinical reality meets engineering design.
You'll train clinicians on the device, run the usability programme end to end, support clinical investigations on site, and make sure what happens in a clinical setting actually changes the design.
What the role actually involves:
- Training clinicians and supporting early clinical use of the device
- Running formative and summative usability evaluations, and owning the usability engineering file (IEC 62366-1)
- Working directly with clinical sites on study protocols and data collection, in the room during real procedures
- Turning what you hear from clinicians into real requirements and design changes
- Contributing to use-related risk management under ISO 14971
- Coordinating V&V testing across internal teams, external labs and suppliers
- Preparing clinical and usability documentation for regulatory submissions, including FDA 510(k)
