WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Build and iterate low-cost prototypes that test key engineering assumptions, using first principles to choose simple, robust solutions
• Run benchtop experiments and simulations that compare designs and materials, filtering for the most promising candidates
• Prioritize resource-efficient ways to answer critical questions quickly
  develop design-for-manufacturing strategies for an initial pilot run, including process selection, tooling, and vendor conversations
• Evaluate and select materials and sealing approaches (e.g., elastomers, adhesives, mechanical seals) appropriate for blood-contacting and implant-adjacent applications
• Create CAD designs, drawings, and build instructions that can be executed by contract manufacturers, tool shops, and the internal team
• Communicate trade-offs and risks to a diverse audience in a concise, decision-oriented way

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN

• Direct ownership over critical development of a new vascular access technology, with immediate impact on pre-clinical roadmap
• A potential path to extended collaboration (full-time, expanded contract, leadership, or adviser role), if milestones are met
• Strong, senior-level references and advocacy from the management as you grow your career, or launch your own venture
• Exposure to KOLs and advisers who are actively shaping the future of home dialysis and vascular access technology
• A flexible, part-time contract that lets you contribute at a high level without leaving your current full-time role – just yet
