Clinical Research Scientist - VahatiCor

Title: Clinical Research Scientist

Status: Exempt

Location: Onsite San Clara, CA

Reports to: Vice President of Clinical Affairs

About the Company

VahatiCor is developing next-generation intravascular technologies designed to improve outcomes in cardiovascular care. As an early-stage company, we are building clinical and regulatory strategy from the ground up to support product development, approval, and adoption.

The Role
The Clinical Research Scientist will support clinical evidence generation and study design, working closely with cross-functional teams to help develop the data needed for regulatory approval and clinical adoption. This role focuses on contributing to clinical study planning, interpreting data, and developing scientific and regulatory documentation. It is not a clinical operations role, but rather a partner to clinical and regulatory teams in shaping and supporting evidence development.

What You’ll Do

Clinical Trial Design & Support

• Support the design of clinical trial protocols aligned with pre- and post-market evidence needs
• Contribute to defining endpoints, patient populations, and success metrics
• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure studies are feasible and aligned with development timelines
• Support study planning, including site strategy, sample size considerations, and data collection approach
• Ensure studies are structured to support regulatory submissions and clinical adoption

Clinical Evidence Generation & Data Interpretation

• Interpret clinical data to assess safety, efficacy, and clinical relevance
• Partner with statisticians to develop and execute analysis plans
• Develop manuscripts, abstracts, and presentations to communicate findings
• Collaborate with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to generate scientific insight
  

Regulatory Support & Compliance

• Translate clinical data into regulatory documentation (e.g., protocols, CERs, clinical
  sections of submissions)
• Ensure clinical evidence supports regulatory filings, marketing authorization, and post-
  market activities
• Support regulatory discussions and alignment between clinical and regulatory strategy
• Ensure compliance with global clinical and regulatory requirements
  

Cross-Functional Relationships

• Work with R&D, Regulatory, and external advisors to support clinical activities
• Contribute to ongoing clinical efforts in a fast-moving, early-stage environment

What You Bring

• Advanced degree (MD, PhD, or MS) and 5+ years of clinical research experience in the medical device industry (cardiovascular preferred)
• Demonstrated experience designing clinical studies (not just executing them)
• Strong scientific writing skills with experience developing protocols, reports, and manuscripts
• Ability to interpret complex clinical data and translate it into clear, actionable insights
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage physicians, internal teams, and external stakeholders
