Medical Device / Precision Manufacturing / Laser Automation

Overview
:

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer II to join our growing team. The ideal candidate is fluent in Solid Works and has a strong background in machine design, specifically with industry experience using sheet metal, weldments and detailed manufacturing documentation. Prior experience designing laser processing workstations (e.g., tube cutting, welding, ablation systems) or other automation equipment is highly desirable.

You will be responsible for developing robust, precision-engineered assemblies and tooling used in medical device manufacturing, including custom part holding fixtures for components that often require micron level accuracy. This role requires mastery of Solid Works 3D modeling and 2D drafting practices, with close attention to GD&T, weld callouts, and hardware integration such as PEM fasteners.

• Design, develop, and test precision mechanical components, assemblies, and sub-systems for laser processing equipment—applying sound engineering principles, simulation, and empirical validation to ensure durability, alignment stability, and manufacturability under production conditions.
• Utilize advanced Solid Works® tools
  —including Weldments, Sheet Metal, and complex modeling features—to design robust machine structures and enclosures; create fully detailed manufacturing drawings using industry best practices (GD&T, revision control, and PDM integration) to ensure design intent and production accuracy.
• Generate complete design documentation
  , including 3D models, toleranced drawings, BOMs, and assembly work instructions; collaborate cross-functionally with supply chain and Machine Solutions teams to standardize parts and sub-assemblies across product lines post-acquisition.
• Design and develop precision tooling and custom part fixturing for secure, repeatable holding of customer components—ensuring optimal alignment, stability, and accessibility for…
