Job description

Our client is seeking an experienced Design Verification Engineer to lead the planning, development, and execution of verification activities for medical device products. This individual will serve as a technical expert in device testing, design inputs, risk analyses, and translating product requirements into robust verification strategies and test methods.
The ideal candidate possesses a strong engineering background, understands how medical devices function from both a design and user perspective, and can independently determine what testing is required to demonstrate that design requirements have been met. This role works closely with R&D, Lab, Quality, Regulatory Affairs, and external partners throughout the product development lifecycle.
Responsibilities
  • Develop and execute design verification strategies for new and existing medical devices.
  • Review product requirements, design inputs, and risk analyses to determine appropriate verification activities.
  • Create verification protocols, test plans, acceptance criteria, and reports in compliance with applicable design control requirements.
  • Ensure objective evidence is generated to demonstrate compliance with design requirements.
  • Design, develop, optimize, and validate test methods for mechanical, functional, usability, environmental, reliability, and performance testing.
  • Identify and implement appropriate measurement systems, instrumentation, fixtures, and data acquisition methods.
  • Evaluate test method capability, repeatability, and reproducibility (e.g., GR&R).
  • Develop custom test equipment and fixtures as needed.
  • Support test method validation (TMV) and testing execution.
  • Analyze test data using statistical and engineering methods.
  • Support root cause analysis and recommend corrective actions.
  • Prepare clear technical reports and present findings to project teams and management.
  • Collaborate with Design Engineering, Quality, Regulatory Affairs, and Lab staff.
  • Coordinate testing activities with external laboratories, consultants, and suppliers.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide leadership in verification and testing practices.
  • Support overall project planning from a testing strategy perspective.
  • Ensure verification activities comply with applicable standards, guidance documents, and internal procedures.
  • Participate in Design Control, Risk Management, and Design History File (DHF) activities.
  • Apply expertise in ISO 13485 and ISO 14971.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline.
  • 3-5 years of experience in medical device development, verification, testing, or systems engineering.
  • Demonstrated experience developing verification strategies and executing design verification programs.
  • Strong understanding of medical device design controls and product development processes.
  • Experience developing test methods and analyzing data.
  • Excellent technical writing and communication skills.
  • Ability to independently assess designs and determine appropriate verification approaches.
  • Experience with inhalation, drug delivery, combination products, surgical, diagnostic, or other complex medical devices is a plus.
  • Knowledge of risk management and failure analysis methodologies is a plus.
  • Experience with statistical analysis tools such as Minitab, JMP, or equivalent is a plus.
  • Familiarity with IEC 60601, ISO 11608, or other applicable medical device standards is a plus.
  • Experience managing external test laboratories and contract development partners is a plus.

Location
  • Chicago, IL

Employee Type
  • W2 Contract (approximately 6 months)
  • Potential for contract-to-hire conversion

Compensation & Benefits
  • Hourly rate $45-$55
  • Medical and dental insurance
