Reports to: Managing Principle Mechanical Engineer, R&D
Workplace Type: Hybrid, on-site in Santa Cruz an average of 4-days per week
The Opportunity:We are building a novel medical robotic application, bringing together an exciting set of hardware and software into an elegant product. We are looking for someone who can take a mechanical system of the robot design from initial concept all the way to product.
What You'll Do:- Collaborate with Manufacturing and Clinical teams for feedback on designs, incorporating this feedback into quick and effective design iterations. Lead and set direction for mechanical design efforts, owning cross-functional mechanical deliverables and technical strategy
- Participate in building and bringing up prototype robotic systems and support all things mechanical in their pre-clinical lab use.
- Align individual work to best support company goals. Proactively identify cross-functional risks and lead resolution strategies in collaboration with key stakeholders
- Document and communicate learnings on design manufacturability and reliability to the broader hardware team, mentoring others in best practices and scalable design approaches
- Document and communicate your work through design reviews and as appropriate released documents as part of the product development process
- Identify gaps and pitch in as needed to ensure that the team meets their goals and objectives, driving alignment across teams when priorities conflict
- Provide mentorship to the team on best practices and design strategies, and be a valuable partner in design collaboration and reviews.
What You'll Need:- BS in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline, or equivalent work experience
- Expecting 8+ years of relevant experience (medical device experience preferred)
- Comfort working with high levels of ambiguity and an ability to convert that into tangible outcomes
- Experience with designing, manufacturing transfer, and shipping of medical device capital equipment or equivalent complexity systems
- Understanding of sensor and actuator selection.
- Experience with medical device (or equivalent) development process, design control, design verification, and regulatory processes
- Ability to work in a hybrid work environment, working onsite in Santa Cruz on average 4 days a week
Ways To Stand Out:- Experience with the full commercial lifecycle from concept through reacting to and addressing field issues with your designs.
- Skills with Python or Matlab for data analysis, simulation, and interacting with robotic equipment.
- Excessive nerdiness about manufacturing, mechanisms, robots, or any other adjacencies.
Why Join Us:- We offer a fun, fast-paced, collaborative environment where you will be working on transformational technologies in the cardiac healthcare space.
- We offer outstanding benefits with medical, dental, and vision covered at 100% for you and your family, as well as flex time off.
- We thrive in our work-hard, play-hard environment. Bring your bike or running shoes if you'd like or just be ready to enjoy a fun office outing. We enjoy time inside the office and out!
