Scaling Regulated Testing and Engineering Support for Medical Device Development
Client (Industry): Life Sciences, Medical Devices
Delivery Model & Specialty Area: Staff Augmentation
Date Range: 2020-Ongoing
At a Glance: A multi-year, MSP-governed engagement supporting regulated software, hardware, firmware, and laboratory testing for a large medical device manufacturer, with consultants onsite continuously since 2020.
Client Context:
Since 2020, a large medical device manufacturer has relied on specialized technical support to sustain regulated testing activities tied to device development across a growing number of teams and product programs. The client required professionals with a rare combination of software testing, hardware testing, engineering knowledge, cleanroom familiarity, and onsite laboratory experience. Limited access to this specialized skill mix created execution risk for testing continuity, engineering bandwidth, and ongoing product development support. The client also needed a partner that could operate effectively through its MSP while maintaining responsive alignment with internal hiring teams and technical stakeholders.
BH Approach:
Beacon Hill Technologies has served as a long-term workforce partner to the client since 2020, supporting more than 197 consultant engagements across testing, engineering, and laboratory functions within a highly regulated medical device environment.
