Senior Mechanical Engineer

What you'll Do:

• Work in a small, cross-functional project team to design, develop, and verify robotic instruments and the interface between robotic instruments and fluidic systems
• Develop test methods, fixtures, and measurement tools to evaluate the performance of individual components, sub-assemblies, and full assemblies
• Draw upon deep understanding of machining and injection molding fabrication techniques as well as develop internal capabilities and partner with vendors to push the boundary of performance while maintaining scalability
• Implement DFX best practices such as design for manufacturing, usability, and reliability on next generation devices
• Generate requirements, design specifications, and test methods that drive product safety, performance, and durability
• Develop, implement, test, and document new solutions, processes and designs according to corporate standards and departmental operating procedures
• Hands-on assembly and testing of equipment and devices to support proof of concept, design development, pre-clinical, and V&V activities
• Create and maintain SolidWorks CAD databases, including assemblies, components, and detailed drawings
• Generate and execute test methods to investigate and establish root cause of design, manufacturing, or material defects
• Research and review literature and prior art to inform design recommendations and architectures
• Observe clinical cases and participate in interviews with clinical experts to inform designs
• Provide support for pre-clinical and clinical labs
• Development and documentation of design and manufacturing including: inspection procedures, assembly instructions, test methods, purchase specifications, BOMs, component / assembly drawings per the company’s operating procedures

What you will Bring:

• BS or MS in Mechanical, Mechatronics or Biomedical Engineering
• 9+ year of experience in engineering product design of electromechanical hardware
• Independence in execution of projects from planning to results
• Experience in design of experiments preferred
• Hands-on fixture and device design and development experience preferred
• Ability to determine testing strategy and methodologies
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Flexibility to multi-task and perform a wide range of activities

• Experience in the medical robotics, life science tools, or the diagnostics industry
• An understanding of necessary design control under ISO 9001 
• Experience with rapid prototyping tools such as 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC machining.
• Knowledge of test and measurement equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, force/temperature/
  pressure gauges, calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, etc.
• An appreciation for puns.

Why Join Us?

• Help design and develop the core hardware behind next-generation diagnostic systems, working at the intersection of mechanics, fluidics, optics, and robotics. 
• You’ll collaborate with a highly interdisciplinary team, have real ownership from concept through verification, and see your work directly shape products that move from prototype to pre-clinical and clinical use.
