Comfortable working directly with suppliers and manufacturing partners. Strong leadership, organisation, and communication skills.
Nice to Have

Experience working to medical device standards such as ISO 13485 or IEC 60601. Experience with robotics, motion control, or automation equipment. Experience with process improvement or lean manufacturing methods.
