JOB SUMMARY
The selected candidate will work within Battelle’s Medical Devices group. This group is hired by external companies from startups to Fortune 100 to assist them with their product development needs. Clients choose to work with us because of a proven track record for developing innovative and marketable solutions to challenging technical problems. A large focus for the group is on medical device development. This has included projects for mass produced drug delivery devices, immunodiagnostic systems, neuro technology systems, large scale imaging systems, and more. Regardless of whether the device is in the user’s hands or part of a larger system of care, they all are driven by the same ambition - to positively affect the user’s health outcome.
