Senior Mechanical Engineer I

What This Person Will Do

• Own major mechanical subsystems end to end.
• Lead the design of complex mechanical components and electromechanical assemblies for our devices and accessories, from sketches through functional prototypes to production units.
• Lead the mechanical and electromechanical integration of our next-gen surgical platform, packaging boards, sensors, and battery envelopes into one integrated product.
• Run the analysis and the testing. Lead structural and thermal analysis (hand calculations, FEA, simulation) to converge designs and retire risk before release.
• Plan and lead mechanical V&V, much of it driven by the IEC 60601-1 mechanical requirements.
• Use our reliability and cycle-test rigs to prove designs are repeatable, then iterate on what the data tells you.
• Make it manufacturable. Drive DFM and DFA so parts come off the line easily, repeatably, and in tolerance.
• Drive DFM and DFA so parts come off the line easily, repeatably, and in tolerance.
• Drive DFM and DFA so parts come off the line easily, repeatably, and in tolerance.
• Drive DFM and DFA so parts come off the line easily, repeatably, and in tolerance.
• Work across the electrical boundary. Our products are tightly integrated, so you'll work hand in hand with our EE team. You'll define enclosures and battery envelopes, and you'll give the EEs concrete feedback (board outline, screw and plated-through-hole placement, layer stackup) to make boards fit, hold tolerances, and manage heat and vibration.
• Raise the team's bar. Coach junior engineers on DFM and tolerance analysis, review and sign off on their drawings, and set the standard for documentation.
• Use AI tools to speed up documentation, research, scripting, and design exploration.

What We're Looking For

• 6 to 10 years of professional experience in mechanical product design and development, including products you took to market (which forces real DFM and DFA work).
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
• Expert proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred) and in 2D engineering drawings per ASME Y14.5 (GD&T).
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes, injection molding especially, plus sheet metal, CNC machining, laser cutting, and 3D printing, with the ability to drive DFM decisions.
• Hands-on fabrication and lab experience. You've personally built, machined, and tested your designs, not just written specs.
• Proven ability to perform hand calculations and FEA, with structural and thermal analysis experience.
• Experience with electromechanical and integrated products (PCBAs, batteries, motors, cabling, enclosures), and working directly with electrical engineers.
• Experience in a standards-driven or regulated industry (medical, automotive, aerospace, or other ASME or IEEE work). You're comfortable reading, deciphering, and applying standards.
• Strong written and verbal communication, and a track record of cross-functional, multidisciplinary work.
• Experience providing technical guidance to junior engineers.
