Job DescriptionPrimary Function of PositionThe Systems Mechanical Engineering team is responsible for the development of multiport da Vinci Surgical Systems from product concept through market launch and initial product stabilization.
The
Senior Mechanical Engineer, Electronics Enclosure Design will focus on designing a novel compute box for use within various da Vinci system platforms. This person will need to leverage their working understanding of thermal management, electromechanical design, and design requirement definition and refinement. They will interface with multiple functions including, but not limited to, electrical engineering, systems engineering, manufacturing, procurement, supplier engineering, quality, and regulatory.
The
Senior Mechanical Engineer, Electronics Enclosure Design is expected to use first-principles design methodology and analytical skills to conceptualize, develop, and verify a new compute box architecture. This person will be expected to work with various cross-functional representatives on the project, in addition to acting as the functional representative of the product. They will be expected to excel in a focused, high-energy, collaborative work environment with a team of talented engineers. The
Senior Mechanical Engineer, Electronics Enclosure Design should be capable of making sound decisions when faced with time constraints and ambiguous or incomplete information typical of research and development.
Roles & Responsibilities- Own the mechanical design development of a novel electronics enclosure design
- Author and release design documentation including drawings, schematics, etc.
- Working with various interdisciplinary teams (electrical engineering, sustaining engineering, test engineering, field service etc.) to communicate effectively and bring consensus on complex problems
- Working within multi-disciplinary teams to negotiate requirements
- Designing for EMC compliance, manufacturability, reliability, serviceability, and cost
- Selecting and managing vendors in the prototype phase
- Collaborating with manufacturing to create product assembly tooling, fixtures, and instructions
- Developing and performing component verification testing
- Supporting production of final product by troubleshooting process and component problems
- Providing engineering support to Manufacturing, Materials, Test Engineering, and Service to facilitate transfer of designs
- Rapid development and iteration of full-scale prototypes of candidate architectures to satisfy requirements
- Drive design improvements through DFM and failure analysis
- Mentor and coach other engineers in problem solving
QualificationsSkills, Experience, Education, & Training
Required- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, or similar
- 7+ years of experience with mechanical design or machine design in a regulated industry (medical device, aerospace, spacecraft, defense, etc.)
- Deep understanding of design controls: design inputs & outputs, risks, design verification, and change control
- Passion for details in creating robust and reliable machines designed for mission-critical applications
- Ability to apply knowledge of thermal management and engineering materials and criteria to productize designs through strong concept development, design analysis, hands-on prototyping, and reliability testing skills
- Proficiency using CAD, analysis, and finite element simulation tools to design mechanical assemblies
- Excellent communication skills, interpersonal skills, and the ability to receive and implement performance feedback
- Self-driven with the ability to excel in a high-energy, small, focused team environment, to maintain a strong sense of shared responsibility and shared reward, and to make work fun and interesting
Preferred- Surgical or medical device product experience
- Thermal simulation experience (ANSYS Icepak)
- Comfortable with all phases of the product development lifecycle including design, implementation, debug, verification, qualification, and transfer
- Experience designing for volume manufacturing processes such as metal castings, injection molding, sheet metal stamping, compression molding, thermoforming, etc.
- SolidWorks experience
