Job DescriptionPrimary Function of PositionThe Mechanical Engineer must utilize creativity and sound engineering judgment in the design of parts and subassemblies of next generation mechanical systems for medical capital equipment. The Mechanical Engineer is expected to use machine design and analytical skills to conceptualize, develop, and verify new mechanical designs.
They are responsible for parts and assemblies from concept, design, verification, and product launch. They provide technical leadership and inspire and guide and guide the team to successful product launches.
The Mechanical Engineer should be capable of making sound decisions when faced with time constraints and ambiguous or incomplete information typical a research and development environment. They will interface with suppliers and manufacturing to build high-quality hardware prototypes and productize new designs.
Essential Job Duties- Design components and produce mechanical drawings in a regulated environment for volume manufacturing processes. May include billet machined parts, sheet metal enclosures, cast metal, injection molded plastic, sheet metal stamped, etc.
- Perform various types of detailed engineering analyses (tolerance stack, process simulation, structural FEA) to ensure fit/form/function of complex tooled parts
- Support production via troubleshooting process and component problems, acting as a primary troubleshooter for line down issue recovery
- Rapid development and iteration of full-scale prototypes of candidate designs and that satisfy design requirements.
- Collaborate with manufacturing to create product assembly tooling, fixtures and instructions.
QualificationsRequired Skills and Experience- Experience with machine design, preferably robot or mechanical systems design experience. Surgical product experience is a plus
- Experience in ASME Y14.5 GD&T
- Experience using CAD and creating technical drawings. SolidWorks experience preferred
- Comfortable with various phases of the product development lifecycle including design, implementation, debug, verification, qualification, and transfer
