Develop proof-of-concept solutions, innovation demonstrators, and feasibility assessments to support strategic decision-making.

Collaborate across engineering, clinical, commercial, and innovation functions to assess customer value, market potential, competitive landscape, technical feasibility, and strategic fit.

Drive promising opportunities through Discovery processes and decision gates, from early insight to validated recommendations and development readiness.

Suggested candidate profile

Have an educational background in engineering or a related technical field and be comfortable applying engineering principles to evaluate emerging technologies, technical feasibility, and future product opportunities.

Have significant experience within medical devices, healthcare technology, software, digital health, or other innovation-driven industries, combined with practical experience working in product development, innovation, or business creation environments.

Have demonstrated the ability to identify, evaluate, and mature new opportunities and to develop strategic recommendations, value propositions, business cases, or innovation initiatives.

Combine strong technical understanding with commercial curiosity and an interest in how emerging technologies can create future business value.

Are comfortable navigating complex organizations and collaborating with stakeholders across technical, clinical, commercial, and leadership functions.

Communicate and influence effectively across diverse audiences and can explain complex concepts in a clear and compelling way.

Bring a strong understanding of healthcare, innovation processes, and commercial considerations, supported by a master's degree or higher in engineering, medical technology, life sciences, healthcare technology, business, or a similar field.

Ideally bring experience in one or more of the following areas: digital health, AI or machine learning, computer vision, healthcare data analytics, software-enabled medical devices, in innovation management, product management, workflow automation, robotics, or emerging imaging technologies.
