- Deep experience across the full product lifecycle — from generative research through validation testing
- Demonstrated experience applying IEC 62366-1, ISO 14971 and related medical device standards
- A strong track record of authoring and executing Human Factors Engineering plans
- Experience conducting ethnographic research, task analysis, user error analysis and validation studies
- Confidence leading cross-functional teams and influencing engineering and regulatory decision-making
- Strong client presence and the ability to represent human factors strategy in executive-level discussions
- Experience mentoring, coaching and growing technical team members
- Excellent written, verbal and presentation skills
You do not need to be a regulatory specialist, but you must be confident leading human factors activities in highly regulated environments.
Why join IDE
At IDE, Human Factors is not a checkbox at the end of development. It is central to how we build ventures, reduce risk and create differentiated medical products.
You will get:
- Ownership of human factors strategy across high-impact MedTech ventures
- Exposure to founders, investors and global partners
- Projects ranging from connected diagnostics and digital health to capital equipment, drug-device combinations and automation platforms
