Eliassen Group
BUSINESS PROBLEM, CONTEXT & INITIATIVE DESCRIPTION
Our client is a privately held medical device company pioneering breakthrough catheter-based therapies in atrial fibrillation. The organization is rapidly scaling following the acquisition of a world-leading electrophysiology innovator, and is now advancing the next generation of a cardiac ablation system that integrates novel balloon, large-area, and pulsed-field ablation technologies.
The company currently has
two catheters in active clinical trials , including a
first-in-human catheter undergoing full subsystem optimization and a complete shaft redesign . With
two upcoming IDE studies , a planned
CE Mark submission next year , and acceleration toward commercial readiness in Europe, the need for strong, hands-on R&D execution has never been greater.
This is an opportunity to join a high-growth, mission-driven organization where engineers directly influence life-saving technologies and help expand global access to minimally-invasive AFib treatment. The environment is fast-paced, collaborative, and highly innovative — ideal for an engineer who thrives in true
new product development (NPD) .
We are seeking a
hands-on, early-career R&D Catheter Engineer
who will
own the design and development of catheter subsystems and components
and contribute across multiple active development programs.
DUTIES / EXPECTATIONS OF THIS ROLE
Own the design and development of multiple catheter subsystems and components across balloon, large-area, and next‑gen ablation platforms
Drive new product development (NPD) activities, from concept through design iteration and verification
Perform hands‑on prototyping, iterative builds, and bench testing
Lead and support design of new catheter manufacturing processes, including assembly methods and process characterization
Conduct process studies, design evaluations, and verification testing
Execute tolerance analysis, material evaluation, and component selection activities
Support biocompatibility evaluations, packaging development, and design‑control documentation
Coordinate across Quality, Manufacturing, Operations, and Clinical counterparts as development progresses toward transfer
Maintain detailed engineering documentation, DHF inputs, reports, and test protocols
Contribute to a fast‑paced, startup‑minded culture requiring initiative, adaptability, and a strong “doer” mindset, and comfort working in a fast‑paced environment with shifting priorities
MUST HAVES – QUALIFICATION SUMMARY
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or related engineering field
2–3 years of medical device experience with direct catheter experience
Demonstrated hands‑on experience in new product development (NPD)
Understanding of process development, quality systems, design controls, and development lifecycle deliverables
Ability to work onsite in a highly collaborative and fast‑paced engineering environment
NICE TO HAVE
Exposure to Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA), electrophysiology, or cardiac ablation technologies
Strong prototyping, test execution, bench testing, and iterative design skills
Experience with tolerance analysis, component selection, and process development
Exposure to V&V test method development
Prior experience at companies like Boston Scientific, Abbott EP, or other catheter-focused organizations
Experience supporting design transfer or sustaining engineering activities tied to development
TRAVEL & LOCATION
