Man & Science (M&S) is an innovative medtech startup focused on developing next-generation implantable neurostimulation solutions. Our mission is to improve patients' lives by delivering minimally invasive, highly effective therapies for patients with severe headache disorders. We leverage cutting-edge miniaturization, advanced engineering, and a patient-centric approach to bring breakthrough medical devices from concept to clinical reality.
Location
Liège, Belgium at the heart of a vibrant biotech and medtech ecosystem, with proximity to leading research institutions and international partners. And in connection with worldwide partners.
What you'll do
You'll be at the heart of our hardware development — integrating the mechanical design of our next-generation miniaturized implant and working hand-in-hand with our suppliers to turn concepts into manufacturable reality. You'll iterate fast, challenge assumptions, and help shape the product based on what's technically and process-wise feasible.
Requirements
• Master's degree in mechanical engineering, Product Design, or a related field
• 1–3 years of experience in mechanical design, ideally in a regulated industry (medical devices, aerospace, or similar)
• Proficiency in SolidWorks or equivalent parametric 3D CAD software; experience with simulation or FEA tools is a plus
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes relevant to miniaturized devices: micro-machining, laser cutting, laser welding, injection molding, or assembly of small components
• Basic understanding of design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) principles
• Exposure to quality and regulatory frameworks such as ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820, or IEC 60601 is a strong advantage
• Experience working with external suppliers or contract manufacturers
• Strong written and spoken English; ability to write clear technical specifications and communicate effectively across cultures
• Willingness to travel
Above all, you are:
A natural team player who brings energy and curiosity to every challenge. You're proactive — you spot problems before they become blockers and come to the table with solutions. You're open-minded enough to learn from suppliers, cross-functional colleagues, and the constraints of a highly regulated environment, without losing your drive to move things forward to patients. Start-up life suits you: you're comfortable with ambiguity, adaptable under pressure, and motivated by seeing your work actually reach patients.
