- Coordinate with testing and certification labs, including TUV and NABL-approved labs.

- Support audit preparation and regulatory submissions.

4. Manufacturing & Vendor Coordination :

- Manage prototyping, pilot builds, and production transitions.

- Coordinate with PCB manufacturers, component suppliers, assembly vendors, and EMS partners.

- Ensure cost optimisation, quality control, and delivery timelines.

- Drive BOM optimisation and manufacturing scalability.

5. Device Testing & Quality Assurance :

- Define testing and validation methodologies for embedded products.

- Ensure product reliability, safety, and clinical-grade performance.

- Drive root cause analysis, corrective actions, and continuous improvements.

- Oversee functional, environmental, stress, and reliability testing.

6. Supply Chain & Logistics :

- Manage procurement planning, inventory forecasting, and component availability.

- Mitigate supply chain risks and component shortages.

- Coordinate logistics for prototype and production devices.

7. Documentation & Intellectual Property :

- Maintain technical documentation, design history files, and device records.

- Support patent documentation and technical publications.

- Ensure documentation traceability and audit readiness.

8. Cross-Functional Coordination :

- Work closely with Product, Software, AI/ML, Clinical, Manufacturing, and Management teams.

- Ensure seamless device-to-cloud integration and platform compatibility.

- Drive alignment across engineering, operations, and business functions.

Required Qualifications :

- B.Tech / M.Tech in CE, Electronics, Embedded Systems, Biomedical Engineering, or related field.

- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems, hardware product development, or medical device engineering.
