• Contribute to use-related risk management in accordance with ISO 14971, including the identification of potential use errors, critical tasks and appropriate risk-control measures.
• Support the integration of an existing certified product into the B. Braun portfolio while helping to establish the usability approach for newly developed platform applications.
• Apply B. Braun design guidelines and collaborate with UX/UI specialists to support a consistent user experience across products and applications.
• Collaborate closely with healthcare professionals, clinical advisors, product owners, software developers, UX/UI designers, quality and regulatory experts, and risk managers.

• Several years of relevant experience in usability engineering or human factors for medical devices, medical software or another regulated healthcare environment.
• Sound knowledge and practical application of IEC 62366-1, ISO 14971 and relevant FDA human factors guidance.
• Experience with usability engineering files, design controls, requirements engineering and the documentation needed for regulatory submissions.
• Experience in planning and moderating usability studies with representative users and translating findings into actionable requirements and design recommendations.
• Strong analytical and documentation skills, with the ability to create clear, complete and audit-ready records.
• Professional proficiency in English. Additional language skills are welcome.
• Ability to collaborate effectively within internationally distributed and multidisciplinary teams.

Additional experience that would be a plus

• Ability to develop screen concepts, user flows, low-fidelity prototypes or wireframes and define the functions required on a screen.
• Experience in user research, including planning and conducting research activities and translating insights into product or design decisions.
• Experience with medical software classified under the EU Medical Device Regulation, particularly Class IIb products.
