Research And Development Engineer

InFlo Medical is a medical device startup developing a next-generation ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) system. Our mission is to improve access to life-saving extracorporeal support by creating a system that is smaller, simpler, and more adaptable to a variety of clinical settings. Through a complete redesign of ECMO hardware and workflows, we aim to address limitations in current devices and improve patient outcomes in critical care and emergency settings.

We are seeking a full-time Research & Design Engineer to support the development and testing of our core ECMO technology. This role is hands-on and interdisciplinary, requiring a mix of hardware development, programming, and laboratory experimentation. You will be involved in prototype design, benchtop testing, and collaboration with partners and advisors across engineering and clinical domains.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys building early-stage technology and wants to be part of a small, fast-moving team working toward a meaningful mission. You’ll be joining the company at an early stage and will have a direct impact on the product and direction of our technology.

• Support the development of electronic subsystems, including sensor integration, PCB bring-up, and signal processing.
• Write and maintain embedded software for device control, monitoring, and data logging.
• Conduct structured laboratory experiments, including test setup, data collection, and analysis.
• Collaborate with clinical advisors, suppliers, and engineering consultants to support development milestones.
• Help prepare documentation for design history, regulatory submissions, and intellectual property filings.
  

Required:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering (Biomedical, Electrical, Mechanical, or related discipline).
• Strong hands-on skills in prototyping, including assembling and troubleshooting hardware systems.
• Experience with software development (C/C , Python, or similar).
• Familiarity with microcontrollers, data acquisition, and basic circuit design.
• Comfort working in a laboratory setting with test equipment, instrumentation, and experimental protocols.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to document work clearly and collaborate effectively.

Preferred:

• Experience with medical devices, especially extracorporeal systems or critical care equipment.
• Understanding of sensors, pumps, valves, or fluid dynamics.- Familiarity with early-stage product development, including iteration and testing under uncertainty.
• Exposure to quality or regulatory standards (e.g., ISO 13485, FDA Class II/III devices).
  

• At InFlo Medical, you will be part of a focused and mission-driven team aiming to make a real difference in patient care. You will work on a technically complex and clinically meaningful device, gain exposure to multiple aspects of medical device development, and have opportunities to grow with the company. This role offers direct mentorship from experienced leadership and the ability to shape both the product and your own career trajectory.
