Team Lead Hardware (R&D)

In this role, you lead a multidisciplinary hardware engineering team to deliver integrated, high-quality solutions for bioprocessing products. You combine people leadership with hands-on engineering to support cross-functional projects from concept to lifecycle. You shape hardware engineering in R&D, enabling engineers to own their work, collaborate across disciplines, and deliver compliant, reliable results. You will strengthen the team and processes to drive predictable, high-quality outcomes and continuous improvement. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by advancing safe, effective medical technology.
