What You Will Do in This Role?- Own and execute cost-reduction initiatives for medical device products, including BOM optimization, material substitutions, design simplification, and supplier changes
- Identify high-impact cost drivers through BOM analysis, supplier spend reviews, labor studies, and field repair data
- Lead engineering change activities (ECRs/ECOs) via SolidWorks associated with cost reduction while ensuring compliance with ISO, IEC, FDA, and QMS requirements
- Partner with Supply Chain, Quality, and Manufacturing to evaluate alternate materials, processes, tooling strategies, and sourcing options
- Collaborate with Mechanical and Electrical Design Engineers to assess technical feasibility and risk of proposed cost-down changes
- Perform structured trade studies balancing cost, quality, risk, and manufacturability; document decisions and recommendations for leadership review
- Support Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Cost (DFC) improvements on released products
- Apply DFMEA, PFMEA, and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) processes to cost and quality improvements
- Analyze warranty, service, and repair data to identify recurring cost opportunities and drive corrective actions
- Coordinate validation, testing, and phased implementation of cost-driven changes to minimize production and field disruption
- Track cost savings, implementation progress, and risk status; clearly communicate results to engineering and operations leadership
What You Will Need for This Role?- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline; advanced degree preferred
- 8+ years of engineering experience supporting manufactured products; medical device or regulated industry experience strongly preferred
- Demonstrated experience leading cost-reduction, value engineering, or design-to-cost initiatives on released products
- Proficiency with CAD tools (SolidWorks preferred), PDM systems, BOM management, and issue-tracking tools such as Jira
- Strong working knowledge of manufacturing processes such as injection molding, blow molding, machining, sheet metal, welding, wire routing, and assembly
- Experience with supplier-facing engineering changes, alternate sourcing, and material/process substitutions
- Working knowledge of ISO 13485, ISO 14971, applicable IEC standards, and FDA design control expectations
- Ability to perform technical risk assessments and root cause analysis related to cost-driven changes
- Strong analytical and financial acumen with the ability to quantify savings and articulate trade-offs
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence across engineering, operations, and leadership
