About the Role
As a Design Quality & Compliance Engineer, you will ensure our agile software development practices align with global medical device and information security standards. Your core mission is to help ensure our software design and development activities meet global medical device requirements, leading the practical implementation of IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and ISO 13485 within an agile, iterative environment. You will help shape how design inputs, verification, validation, and risk controls are captured, reviewed, and evidenced. This is a hybrid role for someone who can masterfully implement compliance within a modern, agile software culture, enabling engineering teams to build quickly and safely, while ensuring every release stands up to regulatory scrutiny.
Responsibilities
- Drive Medical Device Design Control Processes
- Lead the implementation and continuous improvement of design control processes across the software lifecycle in alignment with IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and ISO 13485.
- Partner with engineers and product managers to ensure requirements, risk controls, verification, and validation activities are clearly defined, documented, and traceable.
- Support the creation and maintenance of technical documentation, including requirements specifications, risk management files, verification reports, and change records.
- Support external ISO 13485 and Notified Body audits, with a focus on Design and Development aspects.
- Champion compliance in software development by translating complex and opaque IEC/ISO standards into clear, actionable processes that engineering teams can follow.
Requirements
- Prior experience working on Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) or other regulated healthtech products, ideally in a start-up or scale-up environment.
- Strong working knowledge of standards such as IEC 62304, ISO 14971, and ISO 27001, and the ability to apply these in practical, developer-friendly ways.
- A solid understanding of technical security domains, including cloud security, access control, network security, and secure software development lifecycles.
- A commitment to quality and the ability to drive tasks to completion in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
- Excellent communication skills, enabling you to work effectively with internal teams (engineers, product) and manage external partners (auditors, customers).
- A Bachelor’s degree or higher in a relevant scientific, engineering, regulatory, legal, or governance discipline is a plus.
