We are currently searching for a Catheter Engineer. The role will be performing scientific and technical services in support of research by the Division of Intramural Research, in the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute in cardiovascular intervention. The individual will be working on iterative design and testing of catheter devices and imaging algorithms. This is a full-time opportunity supporting the NHLBI office located in Bethesda, MD. Support engineering research and development efforts focused on next-generation catheter systems, guidewires, and accessory electronics. Design catheter components including shafts, distal tips, steering and deflection mechanisms, and sensor integration using advanced materials such as polymers, alloys, braid/wire reinforcements, adhesives, and coatings. Integrate complex electronic components—thermocouples, RF electrodes, phased-array coils, strain gauges, and microconnectors—into medical devices, including the development of wiring harnesses and custom interface assemblies. Lead prototype fabrication using advanced laboratory equipment (e.g., laser cutters, braid machines, reflow systems, coil winders), ensuring all builds are thoroughly documented in compliance with ISO 13485 standards. Develop and execute validation protocols aligned with ISO 10555, IEC 60601-1, and ASTM standards, including comprehensive data analysis and preparation of reports for regulatory submissions. Generate and maintain design history files, FMEAs, hazard analyses, and biocompatibility matrices, while contributing to continuous improvement initiatives in tooling, design processes, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
