Mechanical Engineer

Position Summary

We are seeking a hands-on Mechanical Engineer that will play a key role in the design and delivery of complex radiography systems, leading mechanical development across multiple subsystems or projects from concept through production. This role operates in a collaborative, fast-moving development environment and requires strong system-level thinking and hands-on design expertise.

Position Responsibilities

• Lead the design and delivery of mechanical subsystems for complex radiography systems, from concept through production, across multiple concurrent projects.
• Own end-to-end mechanical subsystem development, including requirements definition, CAD layouts, component geometry, material selection, detailed drawings, finishes, and support the release into manufacturing.
• Provide technical leadership for both internally developed and supplier-designed subsystems, ensuring alignment to system requirements, performance, manufacturability, cost, schedule, and regulatory compliance.
• Define, review, and approve supplier designs, including CAD models, drawings, GD&T, analyses, and verification plans; resolve technical and integration issues as needed.
• Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Serviceability (DFS) principles, including tolerance stack-up analysis, assembly sequencing, and cost, yield, and reliability trade-offs.
• Perform hands-on prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting, including fit/form/function evaluations, root cause analysis, and development of mechanical test fixtures.
• Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including systems, software, firmware, manufacturing, service, and quality to support product development and ongoing operations.
• Ensure designs meet applicable regulatory and safety requirements, partnering with quality and regulatory teams as needed.
• Support manufacturing, service, and field activities, including domestic and international travel as required.

Required Skills & Education

• BS in Mechanical Engineering with 7+ years of professional experience, including serving as design lead on 3 or more projects.
• Direct experience designing and integrating mechanical systems, including enclosures, frames, structural components, thermal management solutions, and electromechanical packaging.
• End-to-end ownership of mechanical subsystems, including CAD layouts, component geometry, material selection, detailed drawings, finishes, and release to manufacturing.
• Demonstrated experience designing components using common manufacturing processes, such as sheet metal fabrication, machined parts, castings, injection molding, thermoforming, and composite materials.
• Ability to apply ASME Y14.5 geometric dimensioning and tolerancing standards at a minimum of the 2009 revision level with demonstrated ability to create drawings, review supplier documentation and inspection plans, and resolve tolerance-related fit and function.
• Experience applying Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Serviceability (DFS) principles, including tolerance stack-up analysis, assembly sequencing, and cost, yield, and reliability trade-offs.
• Hands-on prototyping and troubleshooting experience, including fit/form/function evaluations, root cause analysis, and development of mechanical test fixtures.
• Experience implementing designs in compliance with regulatory requirements.
• Demonstrated system-level thinking with strong interpersonal and communication skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively in a cross-functional team environment.
• Able to implement designs using 3D CAD software, including Siemens NX.
• Must be able to travel domestically and internationally should the need arise.

Desired Skills

• Implementation experience with electromechanical mechanisms, including ground contact drive systems, lead screws, linear slides, cams, bearing selection and use, counterbalance design, etc.
• Experience developing and reviewing intellectual property, including invention disclosures, prior art reviews, and collaboration with legal or IP teams during patent development.
• Familiarity with writing testable component and subsystem requirements.
• Familiarity with IMU, and LiDAR devices and their use within consumer goods.
• Experience with 3D printing systems for prototyping, parts preparation, and build initialization.
• Basic knowledge of ANSYS Mechanical FEA.
• Familiarity with medical electrical equipment safety standards, including IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-54, and IEC 60601-2-43.
• Knowledge of general radiography and fluoroscopy theory of operation and key system components.
• Familiarity with methods for design of calibration, alignment, build fixture tooling, and exact constraint design.
• Awareness of Sparx Enterprise Architect and Prolaborate system engineering software.
