R&D Medical Device jobs

We pull medical technology from the future to solve human health.

Scarlet is authorised to assess and certify medical devices. We combine clinical, technical and regulatory expertise with AI agents and software so rigorous certification can keep pace with product development at the world’s most ambitious technology companies, without lowering the safety bar.

Our customers have cut a year or more from their certification timelines for new AI-enabled medical devices and shortened product-update cycles from months to weeks. You’ll join a team building the infrastructure that makes these outcomes repeatable at scale.

About the role

As a Medical Device Auditor at Scarlet based out of either our London or Sweden office, you will audit medical device manufacturers’ quality management systems and produce clear conclusions that support certification decisions. You’ll receive training in Scarlet’s audit methods and tools. Your work will combine reviewing evidence with conversations about how manufacturers’ processes work in practice. Travel will be limited, though occasional trips may be required. You will help safe devices reach patients sooner.
