Senior🎓
Top SchoolNico Poirier is a Senior Design Engineer with 12 years of experience translating surgeon feedback into practical spinal implant and instrument solutions, currently advancing product design at Alphatec Spine. He has led launches for SI joint fusion and cervical implant systems and brings hands-on expertise in custom instrument development and medical-device commercialization. Trained as a biomedical engineer at Cal Poly SLO, he pairs clinical empathy with rigorous engineering—often getting clinicians to reveal the real problem rather than their first guess. Early-career electrical design work gives him uncommon cross-discipline fluency that helps bridge hardware, manufacturing, and clinical needs.
