A wearable sensor that misreads a heartbeat, or a diagnostic tool that's a hair off spec — in medical engineering, small errors carry real weight. We're hiring a
Remote Biomedical Engineer to help make sure that doesn't happen: someone who can take a device from early modeling through prototyping and documentation, working fully from home.
About the Role
This job covers real biomedical hardware, not lab exercises. You'll design and refine sensors, diagnostic equipment, and wearable devices meant for actual clinical use. Some days you're deep in mechanical or electrical design work; other days you're running simulations, meeting with a research scientist about physiological constraints, or drafting notes for an upcoming FDA submission. It's a role for someone who already knows how to move a device from concept to something a hospital can trust — not a first step into the field.
Core Responsibilities
- Design, test, and refine medical devices, wearable biosensors, and diagnostic equipment for clinical use
- Bring systems biology and human-centered design thinking into every device, so it works well and feels usable for patients
- Work closely with research scientists, data analysts, and product designers, even though the team is spread across locations
- Validate designs through simulation and modeling before anything reaches a physical prototype
- Prepare regulatory documentation supporting FDA and ISO certification
- Keep an eye on where remote diagnostics and digital health technology are heading
- Join virtual design reviews, sprint planning sessions, and compliance audits
Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor's degree
- Experience: 3+ years designing or testing medical technology in an R&D or clinical setting
- A working grasp of mechanical and electrical design as it applies to medical systems
- Enough anatomy and physiology knowledge to make sound usability calls on device design
- Some background in data modeling, biostatistics, or signal processing
- Comfort with remote diagnostics, sensor integration, and telemedicine technology
The Toolkit
Day-to-day, you'll be working in SolidWorks or Autodesk Fusion 360 for structural design, and in COMSOL Multiphysics or ANSYS when a design needs validation under simulated conditions. MATLAB, Python, and R are used for algorithm development in bioinformatics and signal processing. Version control and data sharing run through Git, AWS, and Google Cloud, while Microsoft Teams and Notion keep the day-to-day coordination from falling apart across time zones.
What Makes a Candidate Stand Out
- Exposure to compliance standards like ISO 13485 or FDA 21 CFR Part 820
- Any contributions to open-source digital health or wearable device projects
- Writing that holds up in scientific documentation — clear, precise, no ambiguity
- Experience keeping your own priorities on track with little day-to-day supervision
Pay and Benefits
This role comes with an annual salary of
$99,807. Beyond that:
- Fully remote, with flexible hours
- Paid time off, wellness days, and standard national holidays
- Health and dental insurance
- A yearly budget for courses or certifications
- A monthly stipend toward your home office and internet
- Access to a mental health and wellness platform
How the Team Runs
Weekly check-ins keep mentorship and technical support going even without a shared office. Design reviews, sprint meetings, and audits happen over video, using Slack, Miro, and Zoom to keep everyone aligned. If you found this listing through
Naukri Mitra or a similar platform, it's worth knowing this team leans heavily on documentation and proactive communication — good engineering here means writing things down clearly, not just building them well. Simulation, CAD, and data modeling all run through shared cloud platforms, so nobody's blocked waiting on local infrastructure.
Why It Matters
These devices end up in real clinics and homes — speeding up diagnostics in places with limited resources or letting someone with a chronic condition be continuously monitored instead of waiting for a checkup. That's a big part of why the bar stays high here; the engineering has consequences beyond the codebase or the CAD file.
How to Apply
Send your resume, along with a short note about a medical device or biomedical project you're proud of. This position is open to remote applicants worldwide, including the USA, India, and other eligible regions. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
