Senior Principal, Device Innovation Lead (eVapor)
Aspeya is pioneering a scientific and responsible, long‑term approach to cannabinoids, harnessing nature to address unmet medical and wellbeing needs. With a patient and consumer‑first mindset, we develop and commercialize best‑in‑class medical and non‑recreational cannabinoid products. We are doing this by combining scientific strength, world‑class technical expertise, and data‑driven insights.
We are committed to working with others to create consistent, high standards for cannabinoid quality, safety, and predictability. Our people are dedicated, experienced scientists and industry experts, all passionate about unlocking the medical and wellbeing potential of cannabinoids to improve patient and consumer lives.
About your role
You will own the end‑to‑end technical product development of our next‑generation medical e‑vapor device—repurposing proven consumer technology into a regulated, patient‑ready product.
Your role will set the technical direction, choose build‑vs‑partner paths, and lead cross‑functional teams across device engineering, aerosol science, consumables, and external partners to deliver measured, proven outcomes.
What you’ll do:
* Lead device development from concept through development, ensuring performance, safety, and usability meet patient and customer needs.
* Translate formulation–device interactions into design requirements; optimize aerosol generation and delivery performance.
* Select and manage third‑party partners where it accelerates innovation; drive make/buy recommendations with clear success criteria.
* Guide evidence generation (bench to concept testing); bring consumer insight and design thinking into a medical device context.
* Contribute to IP strategy—assess external patents and surface internal invention opportunities.
* Plan for manufacturability and cost early; provide robust cost estimates to inform business decisions.
* Collaborate across specialties (e.g., aerosol science, consumables, modelling/CFD/FEA, quality and regulatory) to de‑risk and deliver.
* Operate within a medical‑device quality mindset (e.g., ISO 13485/design controls familiarity) in partnership with Quality & RA.
Does this sound like you?
* 10+ years in R&D with significant experience leading technical product development of inhalation devices and/or closely related consumer devices.
* A systems‑level view of device development, with an understanding of how different components combine to create a successful product.
* Proven ability to bridge formulation and device—understanding how formulations impact device performance.
* Experience collaborating with external partners and influencing multi‑disciplinary stakeholders without direct line authority.
* Exposure to regulatory guidance for inhalation/medical devices and familiarity with design‑control disciplines (risk management, V&V, human‑factors inputs).
* Desirable: experience with CFD/FEA modelling; background in cannabinoid‑based formulations or consumer‑to‑medical product transitions.
