Qualifications

  • 3-5 years of mechanical engineering experience in production hardware
  • Strong CAD proficiency in SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar
  • Hands-on FEA and structural simulation expertise
  • Solid understanding of DFM principles
  • Ability to work collaboratively across disciplines
  • Detail-oriented with strong documentation skills

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop structural chassis and frame systems for optimization
  • Engineer locking mechanisms for secure payload transport
  • Run simulations to validate designs and identify failure modes
  • Manage the prototype-to-production transition for mechanical components
  • Collaborate with software and electrical engineers for seamless integration
  • Support field deployments and utilize hospital performance data for design iterations

Benefits

  • Collaborative environment across engineering disciplines
  • Involvement in the full product lifecycle from design to deployment
  • Access to hands-on prototyping and production processes
  • Chance to influence design based on real-world performance data
Full Job Description
Our fleet moves critical materials through hospitals every day. The structural integrity and mechanical reliability of STAT, TOTE, LIFT, and LIFT+ is what makes that possible. As our mechanical engineer, you'll own the chassis and structural systems that every other system depends on, and the locking mechanisms that keep payloads secure in motion. You'll work at the intersection of design, simulation, and manufacturing - taking ideas from CAD to the floor of a live hospital deployment.
What you'll do
  • Design and develop the structural chassis and frame systems across the fleet - optimising for strength, weight, and manufacturability
  • Engineer reliable locking and retention mechanisms that secure payloads across varying hospital environments and use conditions
  • Run FEA and structural simulations to validate designs before physical build - catching failure modes early
  • Own the prototype-to-production pipeline for mechanical components - working with suppliers and contract manufacturers on DFM and tolerances
  • Collaborate closely with software and electrical teams to ensure mechanical designs accommodate routing, sensors, and integration requirements
  • Support field deployments and feed real hospital performance data back into design iteration
What we're looking for
  • 3-5 years of mechanical engineering experience on physical hardware products shipped to production
  • Strong CAD proficiency - SolidWorks, CATIA, or equivalent - with a structured, well-managed approach to assemblies and drawings
  • Hands-on experience with FEA and structural simulation tools - you use simulation to de-risk, not just to validate
  • Solid DFM knowledge - you understand how design decisions affect cost, lead time, and assembly at production scale
  • Comfortable working across disciplines - firmware engineers, electrical engineers, and ops teams
  • Detail-oriented and methodical - you document your work clearly and manage revisions carefully in a shared hardware environment
Nice to have
  • Experience with autonomous mobile robots or wheeled platforms
  • Background in medical device or hospital equipment design
  • Familiarity with sheet metal, injection moulding, and extrusion processes
  • Experience with locking, latching, or retention mechanism design
  • Knowledge of IEC 60601 or clinical material requirements
