01.2024 - Current
- Led the end-to-end redesign of a brain aneurysm coiling simulation module (FCsize-v2 for Sim&Size), from scientific rationale and requirements through development, model verification and validation, product integration, and release.
- Led credibility assessment activities based on the ASME V&V 40 framework, defining strategy and protocols and conducting studies to support EU MDR and FDA regulatory submissions.
- Developed technical documentation and scientific evidence for regulatory submissions and product development in compliance with ISO 13485 and IEC 62304.
- Executed customer-facing technical projects for medical device manufacturers, ensuring alignment with industry standards and client requirements.
- Leveraged customer feedback and identified simulation limitations to enhance existing modules for new Sim&Size releases, resulting in increased customer satisfaction.
- Manage and mentor a team of 3–4 engineers, including work allocation, effort estimation, performance reviews, and technical guidance.
