What is freelance medical device design?

Freelance medical device design involves independent professionals or consultants who specialize in creating, developing, and improving medical devices for clients, such as healthcare companies or startups. These freelancers may work on tasks like conceptualization, CAD modeling, prototyping, regulatory documentation, and usability testing. Their expertise helps clients navigate the complex requirements of the medical device industry, including compliance with safety and regulatory standards. By working on a freelance basis, they offer flexible, project-based support without the long-term commitment of hiring full-time staff.

What are some common challenges freelance medical device designers face when managing projects independently?

Freelance medical device designers often encounter challenges such as navigating complex regulatory requirements, managing communication with clients who may have varying levels of technical understanding, and balancing multiple projects with tight deadlines. Additionally, coordinating with external teams, such as manufacturers or clinical experts, can require strong project management and collaboration skills. Staying updated on industry standards and ensuring all design documentation is thorough are also essential to avoid costly revisions or delays.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a freelance medical device designer?

To thrive as a Freelance Medical Device Designer, you need a solid background in biomedical engineering or industrial design, along with knowledge of regulatory standards and prototyping. Proficiency in CAD software (like SolidWorks or AutoCAD), rapid prototyping tools, and familiarity with FDA or CE Mark certification processes is crucial. Strong problem-solving, project management, and client communication skills set top performers apart in this role. These capabilities ensure device safety, regulatory compliance, and successful collaboration with clients and manufacturers in a competitive industry.

Passionate about precision medicine and advancing the healthcare industry?

Recent advancements in underlying technology have finally made it possible for AI to impact clinical care in a meaningful way. Tempus' proprietary platform connects an entire ecosystem of real-world evidence to deliver real-time, actionable insights to physicians, providing critical information about the right treatments for the right patients, at the right time.

The Role

As the Medical Device Cybersecurity Senior Manager, you will own the medical device cyber security program at Tempus AI. You will act as the crucial bridge between enterprise-wide security strategy and product-level medical device technical execution. You will partner closely with R&D, Product Management, Regulatory Affairs, and Quality to integrate security into the device lifecycle ("shift-left"), ensure adherence to FDA cybersecurity guidelines, and enabling Pre-Market submissions as well as Post-Market surveillance of Tempus Medical Devices.

What You'll Do
  • Program Management & Strategy Execution:

    • Develop, implement, and continuously mature the Medical Device Cybersecurity roadmap, policies, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), aligning them with the overarching enterprise data security strategy.

  • Product Security & Engineering Partnership:

    • Partner with R&D and engineering teams to embed secure-by-design principles and Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) practices into medical device development.

    • Define and manage the strategy for Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation and maintenance across all device product lines.

    • Coordinate with Cloud Security, Application Security, and Vulnerability Management Information Security teams to integrate their services into Tempus Medical Devices.

  • Regulatory Compliance & Quality Assurance:

    • Ensure device design and lifecycle management align with FDA pre-market and post-market cybersecurity guidelines.

    • Author, review, and maintain cybersecurity documentation required for regulatory submissions (e.g., 510(k), De Novo, PMA).

    • Coordinate with the Quality Management team to integrate cybersecurity into the enterprise Quality Management System (QMS).

  • Leadership & Mentorship:

    • Mentor, and develop the Medical Device Cybersecurity Analyst(s), guiding their daily tactical execution, vulnerability assessments, and professional growth.

    • Serve as the primary Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Medical Device Cybersecurity across the organization and provide education to cross-functional teams on the program.

  • Threat & Vulnerability Management:

    • Oversee the continuous monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and patching strategies for deployed medical devices.

    • Manage engagements with penetration testing conducting assessments on Tempus hardware and embedded systems

Qualifications
  • 7+ years of technical experience in information security in the tech or healthcare industry.

  • Deep understanding of FDA Cybersecurity Guidance (Pre-market and Post-market), ISO 14971, and ISO 13485

  • Proficiency in threat modeling methodologies (STRIDE, PASTA) and secure architecture design.

  • Industry-recognized certifications such as CISSP, HCISPP, CISM, or relevant SANS certifications are preferred.

  • Ability to manage several programs at once and work proactively to align multi-disciplinary stakeholders.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to act as translator among diverse teams of biologists, medical professionals, engineers, operators, and data scientists.
