This role works closely with clinical, electrical, industrial design, supplier engineering, quality and
manufacturing teams to ensure designs of medical capital equipment meet clinical and user
needs and perform reliably and effectively in the field. In this position, you will be part of a team
of talented engineers in a focused, high energy, collaborative work environment, challenged to
make sound decisions when faced with time pressures and ambiguous or incomplete
information typical of issue troubleshooting and product development. You will be expected to
use design and analytical skills to conceptualize, develop, and productize mechanical designs.
Making sound decisions when faced with the time constraints and ambiguous or incomplete
- Lead multi-disciplinary technical teams, working closely with Product Management and Clinical Development to translate clinical and user needs into requirements and specifications for new and current designs. - Rapidly develop and iterate full-scale prototypes of candidate architectures to satisfy
requirements - Design components and produce mechanical drawings in a government regulated environment for volume manufacturing processes which may include cast metal, thermoforming, sheet metal, and others. - Develop and commercialize mechanical assemblies, with careful consideration for key functions and safety. - Perform risk analyses and develop design requirements.
Document and test design according to corporate and departmental operating procedures. - Provide technical expertise to assist with the development of initial fixtures and assembly processes in collaboration with manufacturing and automation teams. - Support production of final product by troubleshooting process and component problems. - Support the quality and regulatory processes. - Help establish individual and team goals aligned with overall project and company goals.
