• Transition concepts into products using 3D CAD Solid Modeling, defining requirements, selecting materials and processes, interacting with suppliers and manufacturers, and documenting the development process
• Troubleshoot design failure modes to root cause and develop quick, effective solutions
• Coordinate with others in a multi-disciplinary team environment including test, manufacturing, systems, biomedical, and electrical
• Develop assembly fixtures, nests, and jigs – designing components, conducting process development and design of experiment (DOE), and selecting components
• Evaluate designs through prototype testing and requirement verification
• Set an excellent example of mechanical engineering practices and provide a level of mentorship to less knowledgeable engineers.
  
  

To be successful in this role, you will need the following skills and experience:

• BS, Mechanical Engineering Degree
• 1+ years’ experience designing electromechanical products, internship experience considered
• Demonstrated experience designing parts using a variety of manufacturing methods, ie: machining, welding, injection molding, forming, forging, casting
• Proficient user of Solidworks or other comparable CAD software
• Must have experience producing engineering drawings and fundamental GD&T knowledge
• Must have experience with finite element analysis and tolerance analysis
• Must be able to work in an open group environment
• Experience designing medical equipment is a plus
• Surfacing experience a plus
• Experience designing dynamic systems with electro-mechanical devices is a plus
