About the role

Abbott is seeking a Principal Human Factors Engineer to lead strategic UX across physician- and patient-facing medical technologies. You will drive HF excellence from concept to post-market optimization, interfacing with product, engineering, regulatory, and clinical teams. Experience in regulated medical devices, digital health, and risk-informed design is required. The role offers on-site opportunities in Milpitas or Alameda, California, with an emphasis on safety, usability, and innovation.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
