Job details

Experience: Typically 10+ years of relevant engineering and product-development experience.
Posting language: English
Posted: Nov 3, 2026

Original job description

The Principal R&D Engineer is CIVCO’s hands-on upstream (Stage 0) technical lead. This principal-level individual contributor rapidly converts unmet clinical needs, product ideas, and emerging technologies into technical evidence - concepts, prototypes, experiments, and clear recommendations - that supports go/no-go investment decisions, detailed scoping, and high-quality handoff into formal product development. A majority of this role’s capacity is dedicated to upstream work, with the remainder supporting knowledge transfer to downstream teams and engaging other design engineers in concept work so that exploratory capability grows across the team rather than residing in one person. Success is measured by substantiated unmet needs identified, feasibility questions resolved, strategically relevant technologies evaluated, and concepts advanced to a clear investment or no-go decision.

Principal R&D Engineer is based out of our production facility in Coralville, IA. On-site is preferred given the hands-on nature of the work. This is not a fully remote position. Relocation assistance may be available for the right candidate.

Job Requirements

Concept & Feasibility: Translate early ideas into concepts, prototypes, experiments, and clear technical conclusions that inform investment and scoping decisions.
Rapid Prototyping: Personally design and fabricate prototypes, fixtures, and test setups using CAD, additive manufacturing, basic fabrication/machining, and existing internal and external resources.
Technical De-Risking: Identify critical assumptions and technical risks, then design and execute the fastest practical experiments to resolve them - including recommending against concepts when the evidence warrants it.
Project Ownership & Execution: Create structure around loosely defined problems; plan, organize, and drive upstream investigations to completion with minimal oversight; coordinate stakeholders and small ad-hoc teams when needed; maintain momentum; and deliver a clear outcome, decision, or handoff.
Unmet-Needs Discovery: Lead and/or participate in clinical/user observation alongside Product Management; independently identify and characterize unmet needs and develop approved opportunities into potential solutions.
Technology Roadmap: Continuously scout technologies, vendors, startups, universities, components, sensors, and other capabilities relevant to future CIVCO products, and rapidly evaluate their applicability.
Technology Integration: Combine mechanical systems with sensors, electronics, instrumentation, and basic software/data tools as needed to demonstrate feasibility.
Internal Collaboration & Communication: Work daily with Product Management, clinical and field partners, Design Engineering, and downstream New Product Development as needed. Present findings and recommendations concisely to executive leadership in support of investment decisions. Share methods, learning, and concept work with other engineers to strengthen the team’s exploratory capability.
External Collaboration: Work effectively with vendors, technical experts, universities, and outside fabrication and testing resources.
Upstream Handoff: Deliver successful concepts to downstream New Product Development with sufficient prototypes, evidence, technical learning, risks, constraints, and documentation for the development team to proceed confidently, and with an understanding of how upstream evidence feeds design inputs and design controls. Downstream participation focuses on effective knowledge transfer rather than executing the development program.
Technical Documentation: Maintain clear, disciplined documentation of concepts, prototypes, experiments, results, decisions, assumptions, risks, and lessons learned as work happens, consistent with CIVCO’s quality processes where applicable. Produce concise, decision-oriented documentation that allows others to understand what was tested, why, what was learned, and what should happen next without extensive verbal reconstruction.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline; advanced degree welcomed but not required. Demonstrated experience and capability outweigh degree level.
Typically 10+ years of relevant engineering and product-development experience.
Deep capability in mechanical engineering and physical product design, including CAD, prototyping, test development, and experimentation.
Proven track record of independently driving technical projects from an ambiguous starting point to a defined outcome, decision, or handoff.
Demonstrated ability to take an idea from concept through prototype, experiment, learning, iteration, and recommendation - including the judgment to stop when the evidence does not support continuing.
Strong systems-level, first-principles problem solving and the ability to rapidly learn unfamiliar technologies.
Strong planning, organization, and follow-through; able to coordinate stakeholders and small teams without formal authority.
Strong technical communication and judgment, including the ability to present technical findings and recommendations concisely to executive leadership.
Strong technical writing skills with a demonstrated discipline for concise, decision-oriented documentation created as work happens.
Ability to meet vendor credentialing requirements for all healthcare systems

What Makes You Stand Out

Medical-device product development experience, including familiarity with design controls, design inputs, and stage-gate frameworks.
Experience in another highly regulated industry (aerospace, automotive, defense, pharmaceutical, etc.) where evidence and traceability drive decisions.
Working capability with electronics, sensors, instrumentation, data analysis, and basic programming.
Comfort operating in ambiguous, poorly defined problem spaces with a bias toward building and testing rather than prolonged analysis.
Strong experimental instincts and technical creativity balanced with engineering rigor.
Broad curiosity across technologies rather than narrow specialization; a track record of scouting and evaluating external technologies, vendors, or academic partners.
Hands-on fabrication and machining skills and experience with additive manufacturing workflows.
Experience mentoring or collaborating with other engineers on early-stage concept work.

What You’ll Get

At CIVCO, we empower our associates to develop their careers while furthering our mission to make image-guided medical procedures safer. We offer competitive compensation, performance bonuses, and a complete benefits package starting day one - including company-sponsored health plans, 401(k) matching, tuition reimbursement, paid leave, and more.
