Technology Lead HealthTech & MedTech

The Centre for Technology Innovation & Incubation (CFTII) at LVPEI operates at the convergence of clinical need, translational research, and engineering. We build and scale biomedical devices, diagnostic imaging tools, digital health platforms, and AI-enabled solutions across five core technical domains: Optics & Imaging, Electronics, Mechanical Engineering, Software & AI, and Product Design.

Role Overview

As Technology Lead, you will bridge clinical needs and engineering execution. You will lead and actively build multidisciplinary healthcare technologies—taking products from problem identification through rapid prototyping, systems integration, clinical validation, regulatory readiness, and technology transfer.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role requiring bench-level engineering execution, cross-domain system integration, and collaborative problem-solving alongside clinicians, researchers, and external engineering partners.

Key Responsibilities

· Systems Integration & Technical Leadership: Architect and integrate multi-domain systems (optics, mechanical hardware, embedded electronics, and software/AI) into functional, clinical-grade medical devices.

· Hands-on Prototyping: Directly contribute to CAD/3D printing, circuit/embedded hardware reviews, optical assembly, or AI model integration to advance concepts from bench to prototype.

· Clinical Translation: Partner directly with ophthalmologists, surgeons, and researchers to convert clinical protocols and user workflows into measurable technical specifications.

· Engineering Lifecycle Management: Manage product timelines, conduct cross-disciplinary design reviews, establish build standards, and oversee internal engineers and external fabrication partners.

· Regulatory, IP & Tech Transfer: Ensure technical documentation meets medical device quality standards (e.g., ISO 13485), document IP, and support technology transfer toward commercialization.

Candidate Profile

Must-Haves (Ranked by Priority)
