Lead Product Designer/Product Architect

Role Overview: You will lead the end-to-end product development of advanced diagnostic devices aimed at enabling rapid, accurate, and user-friendly sample-to-result testing in various clinical settings, with a focus on low-resource and decentralized environments. Your role will involve balancing technical complexity, user ergonomics, regulatory compliance, and cost constraints to deliver a manufacturable solution that has a meaningful clinical impact. Key Responsibilities: - Architect integrated systems that combine mechanics, optics, microfluidics, electronics, and software to create compact and robust point-of-care diagnostic devices. - Lead iterative design convergence by utilizing simulation, prototyping, testing, and structured design reviews. - Diagnose and resolve complex failures like fluid leaks, optical misalignments, and cross-functional interface issues. - Anticipate edge-case user scenarios and incorporate fail-safe mechanisms into the design. - Ensure products consistently perform well across various operational conditions, handling input sample variability, different ambient environments, and user interactions. - Apply DFX (Design for Excellence) principles rigorously to improve manufacturability, assembly, serviceability, and scalability. - Utilize simulation tools and tolerance stack-up analyses to identify potential design risks early and implement effective mitigation strategies. - Balance trade-offs, resolve cross-functional conflicts, and align internal and external stakeholders with design priorities. - Mentor and guide a multi-disciplinary engineering design team. - Develop and manage project timelines, define critical development paths, and lead risk identification and mitigation planning. - Clearly communicate design decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Qualifications Required: - Prior experience in product design and development of diagnostic devices. - Proficiency in integrating mechanics, optics, microfluidics, electronics, and software. - Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to address complex design challenges. - Knowledge of DFX principles and their application to enhance product quality. - Excellent communication skills to articulate design decisions effectively. - Experience in leading engineering design teams and managing project timelines.
