Careers that Change Lives

Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Responsibilities may include the following and other duties may be assigned.

Design mechanical, electromechanical and mechatronic systems, subsystems, and tooling solutions to support complex medical device manufacturing operations. Preferred outcomes will be innovative, lean, and cost effective. Responsibilities will include assessing component and assembly manufacturability needs, developing solutions, and ensuring successful integration into the manufacturing environment by participating in Design for Reliability and Manufacturability ("DRM") and Six Sigma design processes. Interact with, and direct, suppliers and vendors to manage results and outcomes through this extensible workforce/resource. Participate in risk analysis processes and follow up on generated recommendations. Create and evaluate prototypes to generate concept and model approvals. Write engineering reports and create presentations as required to document and communicate results. Institute design changes based on internal and/or external customer feedback. Collaborate on the development of appropriate testing to verify the product meets internal and/or external customer requirements. Prepare documentation in accordance with relevant internal Standard Operating Procedures and Design Control.

• Research, plan, design, verify, validate and develop mechanical and/or electromechanical devices and systems. This may include instruments, controls, robots, resonance systems, hydraulic systems, or heat transfer systems to support various manufacturing operations. This would be done while working with metals, plastics, and ceramics through various fabrication processes.


• Research, plan, design, and develop early mechanical and/or electromechanical system prototypes to support new technology and business development.


• Perform design, implementation (ordering, payments negotiations, and installations), and integration activities to support daily-use tooling (ex. shipping trays, device handling, and transfer tooling) in 24/7 manufacturing operations.


• Recommend various technology options or approaches for systems, processes, facility, or program improvements in terms of safety, performance, efficiency, ergonomics, and/or cost.


• May be responsible for the transfer from R&D to manufacturing.


• Must be able to multi-task multiple priorities.

Must Have: Minimum Requirements

• Bachelors degree required


• Minimum of 4 years of relevant experience, or advanced degree with a minimum of 2 years relevant experience
