Biomedical Scientist/Engineer – Orthopedics and Digital Therapeutics (Contract)
About Us:
At Myant, our mission is to help people Live Younger, Longer by transforming healthcare from episodic, reactive care to proactive, preventive health management. Through our pioneering connected textiles and continuous monitoring technology, we bridge the gap between individuals, their families, and healthcare providers, creating a world where quality healthcare is more accessible, personalized, and preventative. Powered by extensive, multidisciplinary R&D, Myant combines expertise in textile science and computing, biometrics, AI, and clinical research to develop technologies that seamlessly integrate into everyday life. Our innovation engine continuously expands the platform’s capabilities, addressing cardiovascular health, stress management, sleep optimization, and more. With global ambitions, Myant is building a worldwide presence, collaborating with healthcare systems, clinics, researchers, and partners to set a new standard in connected health. Our goal is not just to improve care, but to fundamentally redefine the relationship people have with their health, shifting the focus from sick care to lifelong wellness.
We are redefining remote patient monitoring through SKIIN, a cutting-edge wearable system that seamlessly integrates ECG and vital sign monitoring into textile-based garments. As part of Myant Inc., we are bringing the future of healthcare into everyday life through textile computing, enabling earlier detection, continuous care, and stronger patient-provider connections. With MDR and FDA certifications underway or achieved, SKIIN is entering a critical phase of scaling operations in both North America and Europe.
Role Overview:
We are seeking a Biomedical Scientist/Engineer with a passion for wearable medical technology to join our team. This role offers the opportunity to work on advanced wearables with applications in neuroengineering, neuromodulation, biofeedback systems, and other digital therapeutic applications. You will lead and contribute to the complete product development lifecycle, from initial concept, research, and prototyping through system integration, clinical studies, and product launch, collaborating closely with cross‑functional teams to navigate ISO 13485 quality management requirements and the full spectrum of medical device regulatory processes, ultimately bringing the next generation of smart clothing products to market.
- Lead and execute the research, design, and systems‑level development of wearable systems with cross‑functional teams (mechanical, firmware, data science, software, textile, regulatory) to architect and deliver cohesive, fully integrated solutions.
- Oversee and perform end-to-end prototyping, assembly, verification testing, data collection, and performance analysis of wearable biomedical systems, ensuring interoperability, reliability, and clinical readiness.
- Apply systems engineering methods to support usability engineering activities and generate documentation aligned with ISO 13485 compliance and global medical device regulatory submissions.
- Diagnose and resolve complex, cross‑disciplinary technical challenges across electronic, mechanical, and textile subsystems throughout the development lifecycle.
- Produce high‑quality technical reports and systems documentation to support design history files, regulatory approvals, and effective knowledge transfer.
Qualifications:
- Master’s or PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Neurosciences, Mechatronics, or a closely related field.
- Proven experience in biosignal acquisition, recording, and advanced signal processing techniques, ideally applied to physiological signals such as EMG, EEG, ECG, or other wearable medical sensing modalities.
- Demonstrated expertise in the design, development, and evaluation of neurostimulation and neuromodulation systems, including stimulation waveform design, electrode-tissue interface optimization, safety assurance, and clinical or research validation.
- Strong background in biomedical systems engineering, with the ability to design and integrate multimodal sensing and stimulation platforms across hardware, firmware, and textile domains.
- Proficiency in Python for data analysis, signal processing, and algorithm development (required), with additional experience in embedded or compiled languages (e.g., C/C++) considered an asset.
- Hands-on experience with prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting systems, particularly in wearable or medical device form factors.
- Familiarity with usability engineering (IEC 62366), quality management systems (ISO 13485), and medical device regulatory processes.
- Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and technical writing skills to produce documentation for both internal and regulatory use.
