Research Engineer Position at Stanford
Project: “Precision Measurement of Concussion in Sports”
Our goal is to measure, predict, and prevent concussion in sports. This project is a unique collaboration among Bioengineering, Neurosurgery, and Neuroradiology at Stanford that involves an instrumented mouthguard we have designed, in collaboration with Intel Sports Group. The mouthguard records the forces/accelerations and number of head impact exposures. We are funded by the NIH, PAC-12, and private philanthropy for a four-year study to instrument thousands of people from local children to international elite athletes to study the biomechanical causes of concussion. Our research has been covered by the NY Times, Washington Post, TED.com, NPR, and other major media outlets. We are seeking a talented and experienced individual to join our team and help lead this exciting project.
Job responsibilities:
- Manage mouthguard operations to deliver quality units on schedule to users
- Manage vendors including negotiating contracts
- Manage and prioritize design changes for new features and bugs
- Test device accuracy to maintain/improve quality
- Develop/refine protocols for device usage at high school and collegiate level
- Train and support international users
- Serve as technical liaison to clinical trials team who are gathering data
- Aggregate and publish data
Required Qualifications:
- Ph.D. or equivalent experience in engineering or related field
- Electromechanical design and manufacturing experience
- Project management experience
- Highly organized, detail oriented and deadline driven person who works well as a team leader/liaison
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Desired Qualifications:
- Human subjects or biomedical research experience
- Team management
- Project management software such as MS Project
- Industry experience in engineering/manufacturing/quality/regulatory
- Software/firmware development experience
- Failure analysis experience
Application materials:
- Cover letter
- CV
- Names and addresses of at least two professional references
- One representative publication
