HYBRID - Senior Quality Engineer Medical Device - Bedford, MA

The Senior Quality Engineer, Medical Device Software, will lead quality assurance activities throughout the product development lifecycle, focusing on new product development for complex medical devices. This role requires expertise in design controls, risk management, and regulatory compliance, with a strong emphasis on collaboration across engineering teams to ensure high-quality, patient-specific solutions at our Bedford, MA facility.

Client Details

My client is a groundbreaking medical technology company focused on transforming the diagnosis and treatment of complex heart rhythm disorders, particularly atrial fibrillation (AF). With locations in New England, the company was established to address the unmet needs in cardiac electrophysiology, enabling clinicians to deliver precise, patient-specific therapies. AF, which affects millions globally, presents significant challenges for effective treatment, as traditional diagnostic tools often fail to capture the intricate patterns of this condition.

To tackle these challenges, my client has developed an advanced mapping technology featuring ultra-high-resolution electrodes. These innovations address two critical obstacles in the field: poor spatial resolution and insufficient sampling density. By enabling unprecedented visualization of complex arrhythmias, this technology empowers clinicians to pinpoint arrhythmia drivers and personalize treatment strategies. Their proprietary solutions aim to improve outcomes by moving beyond the 'one-size-fits-all' approach typically seen in cardiac care.

Backed by a combination of private funding and grant awards, the company is built on decades of clinical and scientific expertise. Their leadership team includes prominent electrophysiologists who have driven advancements in understanding and treating cardiac arrhythmias. My client's technologies represent a significant step toward achieving a truly individualized cure for persistent and permanent forms of AF.
