Job Description

We are offering an exciting opportunity for an experienced and highly-skilled Mechatronics and Systems engineer with an overall system focus to have a pivotal role in the overseeing and development of our medical devices. As a fast-growing startup developing a regulated medical device combining hardware, firmware, software, pneumatics and user-facing interface technology, this role requires a systems-level oversight of these disciplines. The ideal candidate will also be a hands-on technical leader who can own the full product development lifecycle through our product launches. From concept through to design transfer, verification & validation, manufacturing and post-market support, you will work closely with internal engineers, external development partners and manufacturing teams to bring fully integrated products to market and into the hands of people for whom they will be transformative.

Who are we?

Silver Lion Innovations is a startup medical device company which exists to transform the lives of people facing immobility across multiple health conditions and the people involved in their care. We've seen this first-hand as our first product, EasyOver, is inspired by a close family member of the founder who has Parkinson's. Healthcare systems globally need innovative technologies created for and with the people using them so that high quality care for the growing number of people requiring it can continue.

At Silver Lion Innovations, we have reimagined a key care service with game changing new technology and we need excellent, stand out people on board to deliver the first in a range of products.

Position Overview

It is an exciting time to join us, taking a mature design of our cutting-edge medical device and playing a crucial role in bringing it to market. In this role you will own the full technical lifecycle, ensuring the product is delivered on time, on budget, and to specification. You will manage a multidisciplinary team across software, hardware, soft robotics, and electronics. The role includes driving the development roadmap, managing risks, and working closely with manufacturers and suppliers to transition the product from prototype to production and aftercare.

Perhaps most importantly, the work you will do will change the lives of people who suffer with lifelong health conditions. Chances are, you know someone who would benefit from the product.
