Develop complex electro-mechanical assemblies, mechanisms, and fluid-handling systems for surgical use. Drive alignment across cross-functional teams (Systems, Electrical, Software, Clinical, Regulatory, Operations, Manufacturing) throughout the product development lifecycle. Translate clinical and user needs into engineering specifications and robust mechanical solutions. Drive iterative prototyping, design reviews, risk analyses, and design-for-manufacturing practices. Oversee verification and validation testing, including reliability and environmental testing. Ensure compliance with IEC 60601, ISO 13485, and FDA Design Controls. Guide supplier selection and qualification; support manufacturing process development and scale-up. Mentor mechanical engineering team members and promote knowledge sharing and growth. Participate in strategic planning, technical road mapping, and innovation initiatives within R&D. Conceptualize, design, and develop new mechatronic systems, components, and automated processes. Integrate mechanical, electronic, and software systems into cohesive products. Qualifications We Need You to Possess
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering required; Master’s preferred. Minimum of 15 years of experience designing medical capital equipment systems and/or medical electro-mechanical products including robotics. Excellent communication skills; ability to work cross-functionally and present to executive leadership. Experience across all phases of product development lifecycle from concept to manufacturing transfer. Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks; complex mechanism modeling. Strong prototyping and iterative design skills; hands-on testing of mechanical systems. Knowledge of manufacturing processes (injection molding, machining, sheet metal, rapid prototyping). Design for manufacturability, reliability, and cost-efficiency. Knowledge of control systems, sensor integration, actuators, controllers, and mechanical components. Experience managing outsourced development programs and vendor deliverables. Mechanical analysis expertise (static/dynamic, kinematics, stress) and tolerance stack-up analysis for low- to mid-volume production. Familiarity with IEC 60601 standards and thermal design for complex systems. Understanding of medical device regulations, design controls, risk management, and quality systems (ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 820). Travel up to 10% (internationally and domestically). Qualifications We Would Like You to Possess
Experience with robotic surgery systems, endoscopic devices, or advanced instrumentation. Familiarity with usability engineering and human factors design. Experience working with surgeons and clinical teams to capture product feedback in an operating room setting. Hands-on, collaborative, solutions-oriented approach.
