Lead cross-functional medical device development projects from concept and market analysis through manufacturing, commercialization, and post-launch improvements. Manage schedules, risks, resources, budgets, and QCD targets while coordinating R&D, quality, manufacturing, marketing, procurement, and service teams.
About this role
This R&D engineer works in Olympus's Gastrointestinal Solutions division on next-generation endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) observation systems, which convert sensor signals into diagnostic images. With a development partner, the role defines target image quality and functions, translates clinical needs into specifications, and assesses technical results. Work centers on analyzing clinician requirements, setting product specifications, collaborating on image-quality design and requesting improvements, developing image-processing functions, and evaluating image quality and new-function performance through system verification. Regulatory work may also be included depending on experience. Applicants need a university degree or higher and around three years of experience developing medical ultrasound diagnostic equipment in either image formation (transmission/reception, signal processing or image generation) or image-quality design/evaluation.
