• Strong experience with Windows automation tools and device interactions (tablet, sensors, etc.).
• Experience in Design V&V execution, particularly for medical devices (IEC 62304), is a huge plus.
• Understanding of or experience with BSCI therapy, IVUS, ultrasound, or related medical device domains is a strong bonus.
• Self-starter with experience building tools and infrastructure (e.g., custom PIV, automation frameworks).
• Degree not required – real-world experience and technical contributions carry more weight.
