You’ll work closely with design and engineering teams to test products in real-world healthcare settings and provide feedback that enhances usability. Whether focusing on surgical tools, diagnostic devices, or home-use products, you will ensure each device meets user needs and regulatory standards. Through hands-on testing and detailed reporting, you’ll help shape devices that are intuitive, safe, and effective for both clinicians and patients. Your role includes executing usability protocols, observing user interaction, and documenting findings to guide design improvements. Responsibilities Your tasks will involve planning and conducting usability tests, analyzing user interaction with devices, identifying areas of risk or confusion, and recommending improvements. You’ll collaborate with product designers, engineers, and healthcare professionals to ensure regulatory compliance and user-centered design. Daily, you’ll test devices in clinical or simulated environments, record observations, and provide feedback that directly influences product development and safety outcomes. Qualifications and Skills To excel in this role, you should have a strong foundation in human factors, biomedical engineering, or industrial design, with a clear understanding of medical device regulations such as FDA guidelines and ISO 13485. A degree in a related field and experience in usability testing, particularly in healthcare, are essential.
