  • Knowledge of working with SolidWorks or similar CAD software as well as interpreting drawings and models
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for documentation and collaboration
  • Sit or stand for extended periods and lift up to 25 lbs


Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with catheter or minimally invasive device development is beneficial
