Senior Mechanical Engineer

About the role

Precision Neuroscience is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and development of intraoperative neuromonitoring devices and navigated surgical instruments. This position will join our core team to help shape the future of our company.

Responsibilities

• Lead mechanical design and development of Class II medical devices, including intraoperative neuromonitoring devices and navigated handheld surgical instruments
• Execute hands-on design, testing, and process development for neuronavigated instruments for surgical deployment of our micro electrode array onto the cortical surface
• Design for manufacturability (DFM) and assembly (DFA) of injection-molded plastic components, precision assemblies, and electromechanical systems
• Integrate our surgical hardware with existing commercial navigation systems and patient planning interfaces (eg StealthStation) such that it maximizes endpoint accuracy, reliability, and safety
• Complete hands-on assembly, integration and testing tasks while ensuring rigorous quality control is being enforced
• Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, firmware, quality, regulatory, and clinical teams
• Work closely with partners, external vendors, and contract manufacturers on tooling, molding, and assembly processes
• Develop and manage detailed CAD models, drawings, and design documentation in accordance with design control requirements

Requirements

• BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering (ME), Biomedical Engineering (BME) or similar
• 6+ years of industry experience in mechanical engineering roles, preferably in the medical device industry (Class II or higher preferred)
• Proven experience designing plastic enclosures for electronic systems (injection molding, ingress protection and sealing, EMI/EMC considerations)
• Familiarity with EMI shielding strategies, grounding, and integration with sensitive electronics
• Experience developing precision mechanical systems or probes, catheters, or handheld medical instruments
• Hands-on experience with hardware integrated systems involving sensors, imaging systems and communications
• Experience with electromagnetically navigated or sensor-integrated medical devices would be preferred
• Experience with overmolding, insert molding, or multi-material assemblies
• Experience working to design controls, risk management, and regulated product development
• Excellent organizational and communication skills; able to collaborate with neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, and electrical, software, and quality engineers
• Expert in CAD (we use SolidWorks) and finite element analysis FEA
• Track record of working towards accelerated timelines

Qualifications

• Expert in CAD (we use SolidWorks) and finite element analysis FEA
