Key skills for this role
BiVACOR is building the world's first Total Artificial Heart a Class III, FDA-regulated active implantable device. We're looking for a Senior Manufacturing Engineer who combines strong electrical engineering fundamentals with hands-on process validation ownership, to help take our electrical manufacturing (PCBA, cable/harness, controller assembly, battery systems) from development into validated, compliant production.
This is a technical ownership role, not a generalist one: we need someone who can look at a board, harness, or controller assembly and understand it at the electrical level, and who can build and defend the validation package (IQ/OQ/PQ/PPQ) that proves it's manufacturable and compliant.
