Research And Development Engineer
Job Title:R&D Engineer – Aortic Vascular Innovation Program
Location:Limerick (Hybrid)
Type:Contract
Department:Research & Development
About the Role
We are seeking a highly motivated and driven R&D Engineer to join our dynamic team supporting a pioneering R&D project within the Aortic Vascular program. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in the design and development of an innovative endovascular repair device aimed at treating complex aortic aneurysms and dissections.
You will contribute to the full lifecycle of a cutting-edge medical device—from initial concept and feasibility through to design, verification, validation, and eventual commercialisation. Your work will help bring forward a novel solution to address significant unmet patient needs in the treatment of life-threatening aortic conditions.
Key Responsibilities
* Contribute to the design, development, and refinement of a next-generation aortic endovascular repair system.
* Support feasibility studies, prototype development, and functional testing.
* Assist in defining and executing verification and validation plans, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820).
* Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including clinical, regulatory, quality, and manufacturing.
* Participate in risk management activities, including FMEA and design hazard analysis.
* Document design controls in line with internal and external standards.
* Engage in iterative design processes using input from clinical experts, pre-clinical testing, and simulation data.
* Contribute to the preparation of technical documentation for regulatory submissions and design reviews.
* Stay abreast of emerging trends in endovascular technologies and aortic repair therapies.
Qualifications and Skills
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
* 1–5 years of experience in medical device design and development (preferably within cardiovascular or endovascular domains).
* Hands-on experience with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks) and rapid prototyping techniques.
* Understanding of anatomy and physiology relevant to vascular/aortic systems is a strong plus.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a creative, innovation-driven mindset.
* Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
* Experience working in a regulated environment (e.g., ISO, FDA) desirable.
