Catheter Engineering Guru

Job Description

Job Title: Catheter Manufacturing Expert (a.k.a. Jedi of Reflow, Braiding Whisperer, Holder of the Sacred Mandrel) or even Principal Catheter Engineer!

Reporting to: VP of Operations

Location: Wherever troubleshooting is needed—office, production line, or wherever something smells like overheated Pebax. (Salt Lake City, UT)

About the Role:

We’re looking for a manufacturing engineer who has spent a lot of time in the catheter trenches. If you know what it feels like to troubleshoot a reflow profile at 4:45 PM on a Friday while coaching a junior tech through their first braid winding setup—this might be for you.

You should be fluent in Pebax, PEEK, durometers, and French sizes. If you dream in cross-sections and curse at bubbling jackets in your sleep, welcome home. You’ll serve as both first responder and mentor—solving immediate chaos, and teaching others how to avoid it next time.

Your Toolbox Should Include:

Deep expertise in:

Thermal and laser tipping

Reflow, lamination, and shrink tube techniques

Braid and coil winding (multi-lumen preferred)

Tooling development for low-volume and scale-up

Multi-material bonding and extrusion assembly

The ability to explain reflow dwell times to an executive and a new process tech

A history of rescuing failing prototypes and calming down agitated engineers

Some visible scars from previous catheter wars (figurative or literal)

A dark sense of humor (mandatory)

What You’ll Do:

Drop into live production issues like a paramedic with a heat gun

Design and improve catheter shaft processes from sketch to scale

Build tools that work without prayers or duct tape

Keep things running when everyone else is losing their minds over tensile tests

Train and mentor the next generation of catheter engineers

Translate R&D wizardry into processes that don’t explode

How You Know You’re Succeeding:

People stop calling you by your name and start calling you “The Fixer”

Your cross-section sketches become office lore

The rework bin starts to feel lonely

Production runs quietly, and mysteriously, without fire drills
