Senior Mechanical Engineer, R&D

The individual will contribute in the development of existing and new medical technologies and applications.

• Define and guide development of elegant mechanical designs that meet requirements for product performance, cost, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Develop designs for all phases of product development from proof-of-concept through manufacturing.
• Drive design verification by testing design performance in the lab and design validation by developing fast-turn clinical prototypes for use in the research clinic.
• Contribute regularly to technical design reviews, project scheduling, and development of new product concepts and applications.
• Use FEA simulation tools to model mechanical assemblies and guide design development.
• Other duties as assigned.

• B.S. in Mechanical engineering with 5+ years related mechanical design experience for capital equipment, laser, or medical devices. Graduate degree a plus.
• Experienced in design of opto-mechanical assemblies. Experience designing mechanical actuation assemblies such as laser beam scanning systems, translation and rotation stages is a plus. Knowledge of strain-free mounting techniques for optics using adhesives is a plus.
• Strong understanding of GD&T principles and ability to evaluate and apply them to precision mechanical designs.
• Proven 10+ years of CAD design experience. Solid Works preferred.
• Extensive knowledge of leading manufacturing technologies including plastic injection molding, sheet metal manufacturing, and high precision machining.
• Proven communication skills and ability to make design recommendations based on cross-functional inputs (Engineering, Clinical, Manufacturing, Quality, and Regulatory).
• Ability to apply FEA simulation tools to develop designs by correlating simulation results with empirical test data.
• Basic working knowledge of electronics, optics, and numerical data analysis (Excel, Matlab, or equivalent). Data acquisition skills such as Lab View is a plus.
• Familiarity with FDA Quality Systems Regulations/Design Control requirements and their application to projects from design inception to manufacturing release.
• Knowledge and experience with IEC 60601 compliance standards and ISO
  14971 Risk Management requirements and techniques.
