Mechanical Engineer II

About the role

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer II to join our Product Design Team. This role focuses on developing and supporting high-volume injection-molded consumable products used in precision fluid dispensing for advanced manufacturing and medical fluid handling applications.

Responsibilities

• Support the development of high-volume injection-molded plastic consumable products from concept through production release.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and external suppliers to execute product development and sustaining engineering activities.
• Participate in DFMEA, PFMEA, and risk assessment activities to identify, document, and help mitigate product and process risks.
• Work with external molders and tooling suppliers to support design optimization for manufacturability, quality, cost, and production efficiency.
• Apply structured problem-solving techniques, including root cause analysis and basic DOE methodologies, to investigate and resolve design, manufacturing, and field performance issues.
• Assist in polymer material selection and validation activities, considering performance requirements, chemical compatibility, manufacturability, and reliability.
• Create and maintain 3D CAD models and engineering drawings using SolidWorks, including appropriate GD&T and manufacturing specifications.
• Perform engineering analyses such as tolerance stack-ups and interpretation of mold flow and simulation results to support design decisions.
• Plan and execute design verification and validation testing, analyze results, document findings, and recommend design improvements.
• Contribute to the design and integration of electro-mechanical subsystems and assemblies as needed.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation including drawings, specifications, test protocols, reports, engineering change orders, and work instructions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
• 3–5 years of mechanical product development experience, preferably with injection-molded plastic components or high-volume manufactured products.
• Working knowledge of plastic part design principles, polymer materials, and manufacturing processes.
• Experience participating in product development projects from concept through production release.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD software (SolidWorks preferred) and creation of detailed engineering drawings with GD&T.
• Familiarity with DFMEA, design controls, engineering change processes, and structured product development practices.
• Experience applying structured problem-solving techniques and root cause analysis to technical challenges.
• Basic understanding of tolerance analysis, FEA, mold flow analysis, or other engineering simulation tools.
• Ability to create clear engineering documentation including test plans, reports, drawings, specifications, and change orders.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
• Experience in medical devices, fluid handling products, consumables, or other regulated manufacturing environments is a plus.
