About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential medical device startup based in Hamburg and Magdeburg, Germany. Our client is developing next-generation endovascular implants for patients who cannot be treated with current standard solutions. This is a foundational engineering role where you will drive the technical development of a complete stent graft delivery system from concept through prototype, working directly with the founding team during an exciting early-stage phase.

This position is based in Magdeburg with occasional travel to Hamburg and partner sites.

Responsibilities

• Develop the complete delivery system including catheter components, stent elements, and deployment mechanisms from initial concept through functional prototype
• Design and dimension individual components, evaluate material and joining concepts, and translate design decisions into robust engineering specifications
• Conceive, design, and build test stands and fixtures required for verification and validation activities, selecting appropriate testing methodologies
• Execute mechanical and functional testing, analyze results, and document findings in compliance with Design Control requirements and technical documentation standards
• Coordinate closely with external development and manufacturing partners, translating requirements into clear specifications and supporting implementation through acceptance
• Collaborate directly with founders and regulatory/quality functions, contributing technical perspective to product decisions

What We're Looking For

Required qualifications:

• Completed degree in Mechanical Engineering, Medical Technology, Materials Engineering, or comparable qualification
