Job Description

Position Summary:

Dornier MedTech is seeking an innovative, technically driven Director of R&D to lead new product development across our Endourology portfolio. This leader will guide the design and commercialization of devices supporting stone management and BPH treatment (TURP-related) procedures, overseeing both internal development and external innovation partnerships. The ideal candidate combines deep knowledge of materials science, manufacturing processes, and clinical device performance to bring high-impact urology solutions to market.

Scope of Product Responsibility:

This role covers a comprehensive suite of devices used in kidney stone disease and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treatment, including:

Stone Management Products:

  • Ureteral Access Sheaths (standard and suction-assisted)
  • Stone Retrieval Baskets (metal and nitinol)
  • Ureteral Stents (short- and long-term, polymeric and metallic)
  • Guidewires, Dilators, and Introducers
  • Single-use and semi-disposable Ureteroscopes
  • Suction-based Lithotripsy Systems
  • Laser-compatible accessories (for use with holmium and thulium platforms)

BPH (TURP-Related) Products:

  • Continuous Flow Sheaths and Working Elements
  • Electrode Systems (bipolar)
  • TURP Loops and Accessories
  • Irrigation and Fluid Management Tools

This leader will shape Dornier’s long-term roadmap across these categories and scout adjacent opportunities to expand our endourology footprint.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Direct end-to-end R&D for both internally developed and externally sourced technologies across plastic and metal-based devices.
  • Apply expertise in materials (e.g., polyurethanes, PEBAX, nitinol, stainless steel) and processes (e.g., extrusion, injection molding, laser cutting, RF welding) to achieve optimal device performance.
  • Translate clinical use cases from RIRS, PCNL, TURP, and laser lithotripsy into clear technical requirements and robust product designs.
  • Drive cross-functional alignment with clinical, marketing, regulatory, and operations teams throughout development.
  • Identify and collaborate with external design firms, OEM manufacturers, and technology partners to co-develop or license next-generation products.
  • Oversee compliance with ISO 13485, FDA QSR, and MDR regulations via robust design control and documentation practices.
  • Lead engineering resources (internal and outsourced) and provide strategic direction across the R&D pipeline.
  • Contribute to IP strategy and support patent filings and FTO assessments.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, biomedical, or materials engineering (Master’s or PhD preferred).
  • 10+ years of medical device R&D experience with at least 5 years in a leadership capacity.
  • Demonstrated success developing Class II disposable urology products for both stone and BPH applications.
  • Deep technical proficiency in both materials and manufacturing processes relevant to endourology.
  • Familiarity with clinical workflows and unmet needs in stone disease, TURP, and related urologic procedures.
  • Experience with external collaboration models, including OEM development and contract manufacturing.
  • Strong project leadership, cross-functional communication, and decision-making skills including experience working with international teams or in a global development context.
