  • define requirements and interfaces for optical, mechanical, electrical, fluidic, and software subsystems
  • Resolve critical bottlenecks in product development (e.g., anti-interference, temperature control precision, optical path alignment) while balancing performance, cost, and manufacturability (DFM)
  • Drive the entire process from project initiation, prototyping, and verification to New Product Introduction (NPI)
  • Ensure products meet NMPA/FDA/CE standards
  • oversee the output of high-quality Design History Files (DHF) and support registration/audit processes
  • Build and optimize R&D management processes (IPD) compliant with ISO and GMP standards, including risk management and design change control
  • Recruit, mentor, and manage a multidisciplinary team (Mechanical, Electronic, Software, Fluidics)
  • establish KPIs and talent development programs

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Biomedical Engineering, Precision Instruments, Automation, Electronic Engineering, or related fields (Master’s/PhD preferred)
  • 5+ years of hands-on R&D experience in the medical device industry
  • Must have successfully led the development of at least one high-end IVD instrument (e.g., fully automated PCR or Chemiluminescence system) from concept to successful market launch (0 to 1)
  • A deep understanding of hardware circuits, low-level control logic, and high-level software architecture/algorithms
  • ability to bridge the gap between software and hardware teams
  • Proficient in fluid control, precision motion control, and optical detection principles
  • skilled in system error analysis and reliability design
  • Familiarity with medical device laws/regulations
