You will be at the forefront of bringing advanced healthcare solutions to market, making a tangible difference in people´s lives worldwide.

Main responsibilities:

• Conduct research to understand the needs of users, including clinicians and patients, focusing on cognitive and motor challenges (e.g., Parkinson’s disease). Gather insights through interviews, contextual inquiry, and task analysis.
• Lead usability testing and evaluation for medical devices, identifying pain points, safety risks, and areas of improvement in user interfaces and workflows.
• Ensure compliance with medical device usability standards (IEC62366, ISO14971, FDA). Maintain the usability engineering file, including task analysis, use specifications, and risk assessments.
• Work closely with engineers, clinical teams, regulatory bodies, and quality assurance to ensure that the device design integrates user-centered principles while meeting regulatory and technical requirements.
• Collaborate with neurosurgeons and clinical teams to define, map, and document the surgical procedure for implanting the device. Identify critical steps, ergonomic considerations, and potential risks to ensure the process is safe and efficient. Provide detailed documentation for use in training and process development.
• Collaborate with software developers, clinicians, and designers to define, map, and document the requirements for software and applications used by patients and clinicians.
• Create and refine prototypes, wireframes, and mockups to validate design choices through formative and summative evaluations. Lead design revisions based on real user feedback and usability findings.
• Contribute to the identification and mitigation of use errors, safety concerns, and hazardous situations through usability testing, UMFMEA, and risk management processes.
• Occasional domestic and international travel may be required, approximately 10-20% per year, primarily for user research, meetings with clinical teams, and conferences or workshops.
