Overview

Mechanical Test Engineer role in Medical Equipment Manufacturing. Responsibilities and qualifications outline below. Key Responsibilities

Design and develop mechanical test fixtures and assemblies to support verification and validation of medical devices. Work closely with technicians on prototype builds, fixture setup, and test execution. Utilize CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, or similar) to create mechanical designs, layouts, and detailed drawings. Interpret and contribute to ECOs and ECRs (Engineering Change Orders / Requests), ensuring changes are properly documented and implemented. Apply sound mechanical engineering principles, including tolerance analysis, material selection, and consideration of critical dimensions for manufacturability and repeatability. Integrate instrumentation, sensors, and robotics, considering airflow paths, signal integrity, and system layout. Perform bench-level testing using tools such as digital multimeters, calipers, and other measurement equipment. Collaborate across engineering disciplines (electrical, software, systems) to ensure robust and testable designs. Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field. 5+ years of experience in mechanical design or test engineering, ideally in a medical device or regulated industry environment. Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks preferred) for fixture and assembly design. Familiarity with ECO/ECR processes and product lifecycle management (PLM) systems. Experience with robotics, instrumentation, and hands-on bench testing. Strong grasp of tolerancing, GD&T, and mechanical design best practices. Ability to consider and optimize airflow, instrumentation routing, and mechanical integration in complex systems. Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to think beyond the specs. Strong communication skills—capable of articulating technical decisions and collaborating with cross-functional teams. Seniority level
