THE COMPANY

Our client is a professional Medical Devices organization, based in Noord-Brabant Netherlands.

Bioresorbable, polymer-based technology is designed to allow for the natural restoration of heart valve function via endogenous tissue restoration (ETR). After the valve is implanted, the body develops tissue inside and around the device, forming a natural and fully functional valve within it, the company says. As the new valve heals, the implant is gradually absorbed into the body.

ROLE DESCRIPTION

Minimum 2 years of development experience in the industry, preferably in a fast-pace (e.g. start-up) and highly regulated (e.g. medical device) environment. To elaborate, with 'development experience', we mean experience in developing either a product or manufacturing process as an engineer. Ideally this would be combined with the electrospinning experience (e.g. developing, i.e. building or adapting an electrospinning machine for a new product), but at least both experiences (electrospinning + product/process development) need to be present. Academic experience only doesn't qualify for this.



As one of the electrospinning experts in our engineering team, you’ll drive various projects in product and process development.
These projects could aim to improve product quality, to make our manufacturing process more scalable - or to develop completely new applications and extend our product portfolio.
Your vision on electrospinning enables you to develop new applications and manufacturing processes from scratch. As a leader, you’ll bring these ideas from proof-of-concept to best-practice.
You can quickly shift from break-through innovation to hands-on troubleshooting.
You’re keen to share your knowledge, and will leverage your electrospinning expertise by training colleague engineers and technicians.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Hands-on experience with and fundamental knowledge of electrospinning
Technical degree in engineering, natural sciences, or equivalent, e.g. mechanical or biomedical engineering
Minimum 2 years of development experience in the industry, preferably in a fast-pace (e.g. start-up) and highly regulated (e.g. medical device) environment
Able to connect theory and practice, and quickly shift from highly conceptual to very practical and back.

REQUIREMENTS

Experience with process validations
Comfortable with data and statistics
English speaking
