Sr. Mechanical Engineer - Medical Devices

Overview

Battelle delivers when others can’t. We conduct research and development, manage national laboratories, design and manufacture products and deliver critical services for our clients—whether they are a multi-national corporation, a small start-up or a government agency.

We recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.

You will be a core team member in the design and development of medical and commercial products and systems. This role contributes to all phases of product design including initial requirements definition, conceptualization, and feasibility assessment/demonstration; detail design including engineering analysis and testing; verification and validation testing and documentation; transfer to the client and follow-on support as needed. Projects typically involve multidisciplinary teams so you will regularly interface with electrical, software, systems, human factors, and other engineers as needed for the project.

You will work closely with the program manager as both an individual contributor and/or a technical lead responsible for guiding other engineers also depending on the needs of the project.

This particular role is for experienced engineers who have been part of product development for the early part of their careers but are seeking a new challenge, new environment, or both to build their experience and accelerate their career.

• Develop mechanical products, subsystems and/or components

• Participate in shaping the product design through upfront brainstorming and concept generation, as well as defining functional needs, system requirements and verification methods

• Apply creative thought and state-of-the-art technology to solve technical design problems throughout the entire development process

• Work with technicians and/or hands-on assembly and testing work in the lab to demonstrate feasibility or refine the design solution

• Work with program managers to complete and/or lead tasks within budget and schedule

• Generate design, development and support documentation following QS/ISO processes and procedures

• Communicate results and progress using written and oral communication to project leadership and the customer

• Work with management and Team Leads to participate in (and potentially lead) developmental activities for less experienced team members

• Participate in business development activities including drafting proposal language and developing task level of effort estimations

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university and 8+ years working experience in product development, solution design, or engineering consultancies or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering and 6+ years of working experience in product development, solution design, or engineering consultancies

• Design engineering experience with medical technology or simulated regulated technology requiring traceability of the design over time

• Design for plastic injection molded part experience

• Design for manufacturing experience e.g. machined parts, sheet metal, packaging of electronics/cables, etc. for products

• Fluent using CAD software (e.g. Solid Works)

• Project or technical task leadership experience

• Strong organizational, planning and time management skills

• Strong interpersonal communication and presentation skills (verbal, written, and visual)

• Creative problem solving and analytical skills

• Ability to conduct technical activities with minimal direction and or assume task leadership responsibilities

• Experienced working in diverse teams and incorporating others’ perspectives into shared ideas and concepts

• Self-starter and continual learner

• Experience in the design and development of medical devices, diagnostic instrumentation, or drug delivery devices is highly preferred

• Hands-on general lab skills including the building and testing of prototypes

• Literate in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing

• Experience using FEA analysis tools with a strong preference for ANSYS

• Experience in the design of high tolerance plastic components for injections and other…
