• Designing Complex Assemblies: Create and develop intricate designs for mechanical assemblies, mechanisms, and component parts of electro-mechanical medical devices, ensuring they meet performance objectives.

• Conducting In-Depth Analysis: Perform detailed mechanical analysis, including tolerance analysis (GD&T), load and fatigue life analysis, and thermal modeling, to guarantee consistent performance in safety-critical applications.

• Utilizing FEA Tools: Leverage advanced tools like SolidWorks Simulation and Abaqus for structural analysis, both linear and non-linear, to validate your designs.

• Integrating Designs: Ensure seamless integration of mechanical design elements with electrical and consumable components, collaborating with cross-functional teams.

• Troubleshooting and Problem Solving: Engage in troubleshooting efforts related to mechanical design aspects, working closely with other design constituents to resolve issues.

• Transitioning to Manufacturing: Effectively transition products to manufacturing, ensuring robust designs and processes that meet production standards.

• Optimizing Designs: Continuously improve mechanical and electro-mechanical designs to enhance production efficiency, reliability, regulatory compliance, and cost-effectiveness.

• Defining Testing Protocols: Establish and orchestrate testing protocols to validate the safety and effectiveness of your designs, ensuring they meet the highest standards.

What You'll Bring

To thrive in this role, you should possess the following qualifications:

• Educational Background: A Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field with 3+ years of relevant experience, or a Master’s degree with 1+ years of experience.

• Proven Experience: A demonstrated track record in electro-mechanical hardware development, preferably in a highly regulated industries such as medical device, aerospace, automotive, or defense.

• Fast-Paced Environment: Experience working effectively in a fast-paced environment, showcasing your ability to adapt and excel under pressure.

• CAD Proficiency: Strong knowledge and experience using CAD systems for mechanical design and analysis, particularly in surface/solid modeling and master modeling (SolidWorks preferred).

• Mechanical Knowledge: Familiarity with drive mechanisms (gears, leadscrews), fluid mechanics, and design principles for plastics, sheet metal, and casting parts according to manufacturing guidelines.

• Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Understanding of DFM and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to optimize designs for production.
