- Plan and conduct contextual inquiries in cath labs and simulation environments; perform task analyses, workflow mapping, and environment assessments.
- Convert insights into UX flows, wireframes, interactive prototypes, and visual design systems for clinician software and device interfaces; define design tokens and guidelines for consistency.
- Establish design systems and CMF strategies grounded in clinical utility and brand coherence.
- Create parametric/surface CAD with G2/G3 curvature continuity; achieve Class-A surfacing ready for tooling.
- Produce photorealistic renderings, animations, exploded views, and communication assets to align cross-functional stakeholders.
- Build and evaluate physical and digital prototypes; plan and support formative usability studies; synthesize findings into design iterations and requirements.
- Prepare production-ready CAD, GD&T, CMF specifications, and tolerance stacks; collaborate with manufacturing/supplier teams during DFM/DFA, tooling, and pilot builds to maintain design fidelity.
- Operate within R&D phase-gate or agile frameworks; collaborate with HF engineering, systems, medical affairs, manufacturing, and marketing; communicate decisions and trade-offs clearly.
- Network with key contacts outside own area of expertise, contributes to cross functional decisions; understands importance of alignment and negotiation, representing the voice of the customer from a design and technical application perspective for new product development.
