NPI Engineer

About Vitestro Founded in 2017 in Utrecht, Vitestro is pioneering the future of blood collection with the Aletta® Autonomous Robotic Phlebotomy Device™ (ARPD™) . This groundbreaking medical device combines advanced multi-modal imaging (near-infrared, ultrasound, and Doppler ultrasound) with robotics and AI to perform the entire diagnostic blood draw procedure autonomously. By addressing critical healthcare staffing shortages and improving patient experience, Vitestro is transforming one of the most common and essential medical procedures. With more than 90 team members and growing rapidly, we are scaling our impact. As we placed our first devices with customers, we are now expanding our team to ensure successful implementation and long-term reliability. At Vitestro, we are committed to continuous innovation and improvement. Join us as our new NPI Engineer! About the role As our NPI Engineer, you play a key role in bringing hardware subsystems from development into stable series production. You operate at the intersection of R&D and production, ensuring that new subsystems are verified, documented, transferred, and improved in a structured and scalable way. You actively coordinate cross-functional stakeholders (mechanical, electrical, software, quality, and production) to align on requirements, timelines, risks, and release readiness. In your first months, your focus will be on two subsystems. You will run and update verification test cases, write test scripts where needed, and ensure that results are clearly documented. You will translate engineering intent into practical work instructions for production and train production engineers on the correct assembly of new subsystems. At the same time, you refine process design and reflect those improvements in the CAD models. You facilitate technical discussions between R&D and production, drive resolution of open issues, and ensure clear ownership throughout the subsystem transfer. You take ownership of the hardware relea
