Background

About Rafael Ramirez

Engineering professional with 10+ years of mechanical design experience, including leadership roles on over 2 FDA-compliant Class I medical devices, now focused on scaling that expertise into more complex systems and higher-risk innovations.Currently leading the engineering effort at TALO, I oversee mechanical design and development for FDA-compliant Class I devices, owning the process from concept through release. My previous roles leaned heavily into interdisciplinary collaboration, and I continue to apply that systems-level thinking even in more focused engineering environments.I’m especially drawn to challenges in Class devices, and I’m actively expanding my fluency in risk management (ISO 14971), Verification & Validation, and advanced simulation tools. The deeper the problem, the more energized I feel, especially when the end result improves patient lives.
