Senior Mechanical Engineer, Hardware

Roles and Responsibilities

• Design structural and electromechanical aspects of complex robotic test systems.
• Design and select motors, gearboxes, drivetrains and sensors to meet performance targets.
• Design structural and interface elements as defined by cross functional needs and requirements.
• Rapidly iterate test systems through 3D printed concepts to machined parts.
• Engage in cross functional collaboration with Endoscopy, Systems and Manufacturing teams to generate elegant test capabilities.
• Create and maintain Solidworks CAD models, interconnect diagrams, specifications and detailed drawings.
• Create manufacturing methods and fixtures, including assembly fixtures and in-line/end-of-line test fixtures, to ensure final capital and endoscopy products meet specifications and safety.
• Lead and participate in technical design reviews.
• Work closely with colleagues to brainstorm, collaborate, and share knowledge, demonstrating a team forward mentality with honest work ethic.
• Work effectively within the confines of a regulated, quality-system driven, FDA-monitored medical device environment.

Required Qualifications

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with 5+ years experience. Related degrees are acceptable, but you should be able to convince us that you are very competent in mechanical design.
• Demonstrated experience designing and building mechanical mechanisms, interfaces, and structures.
• Experience testing, iterating, and documenting prototype solutions to undefined problems.
• Knowledge of various types of motors, encoders, sensors, power transmission, and drive-train-related components.
• Experience in electromechanical design.
• Experience using various rapid prototyping techniques and basic machinery such as 3D printing machines and basic machinery (mill/lathe).
• Demonstrated experience designing novel solutions to unsolved problems.
• An inventive aptitude balanced with discipline and detail-orientation.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with test bench and complex test system design.
• Demonstrated experience in mechanical analysis including modeling tolerance stacks, static and dynamic analysis, FEA and thermal analysis.
• Experience designing for manufacturability and understanding common manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal, etc.
• Experience with risk analysis and risk mitigation to develop robust systems.
• Demonstrated ability to generate original ideas by history of patents and IP.
• Experience in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience creating and managing schedules, budgets, and plans.

About the Role

Neptune Medical is an innovative, venture capital-funded medical device startup headquartered in Burlingame, CA. We have already commercialized novel medical devices using our technology. Now the team at Neptune is building something truly unique: a fully flexible medical robot that enables doctors to reach deep into human anatomy. Triton Robotic Endoscopy will disrupt flexible endoscopy and set a new standard in outcomes for decades to come.
