ARGON MEDICAL DEVICES IS NOT LEVERAGING SEARCH FIRMS
Position Overview:
The Thrombectomy Product Development Engineer Lead serves as the senior technical authority for Argon’s Thrombectomy Management System. This role provides hands-on engineering leadership for a complex, released medical device platform with primary accountability for system-level performance, reliability, safety, and compliance in both field use and production.
This is not a people management or program coordination role. It is a senior individual contributor position requiring deep technical expertise, strong engineering judgment, and end-to-end ownership of sustaining, defending, and continuously improving a flagship medical device system. The role translates real‑world field feedback, quality signals, and manufacturing insights into robust engineering solutions and technical decisions.
What you will do:
- Maintain deep technical understanding of the Thrombectomy Management System across design, clinical use, manufacturing, and field performance
- Act as the system-level technical owner for product performance, user experience, and failure modes
- Lead engineering execution of design changes (DCRs) driven by field issues, internal quality findings, regulatory needs, and performance gaps
- Own technical decision-making for product reliability, safety, compliance, and manufacturability
- Prioritize and resolve a dynamic backlog of sustaining engineering issues from field, quality, operations, and commercial teams
- Lead root cause investigations and structured troubleshooting of complex electromechanical, fluidic, and software-integrated systems
- Partner closely with Quality and Operations to investigate and resolve internal product and manufacturing issues
- Collaborate with Regulatory Affairs to support domestic and international submissions, ensuring engineering changes meet applicable regulatory and standards requirements
- Translate investigation outcomes into clear design requirements, specifications, corrective and preventative actions
- Ensure verification and validation activities adequately address real‑world use, manufacturing variability, and field risk
- Drive issues to closure with strong technical rigor, documentation, and accountability
- 10% travel required
Skills for Success:
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Biomedical, Electrical, or related discipline)
- Minimum of 15 years of experience in medical device development, product engineering, or system engineering
- Demonstrated experience supporting, sustaining, and improving complex commercialized medical device systems
- Proven track record resolving complex field and internal product issues and driving design changes in released products
- Strong working knowledge of applicable regulatory requirements and standards (e.g., IEC 60601, ISO 14971)
- Experience with risk management, verification and validation, complaint investigations, and design control processes
- Exceptional hands-on technical depth and problem-solving skills
Preferred Education and Experience
- Master’s degree or PhD in Engineering or related technical field
- Prior experience serving as a system or technical lead for a flagship or platform-level medical device
- Experience supporting global regulatory submissions and sustaining engineering for international markets
