Focus on delivering robust, manufacturable, and regulatory-compliant hardware products while partnering across disciplines to ensure seamless system integration within IoT environments.

As market demands evolve, this role may contribute to the development of medical devices, requiring alignment with FDA and international regulatory standards. Implement emerging tools and practices, including AI and automation.

CORE DUTIES

Participate in the mechanical and electromechanical design of IoT devices from concept through production, with a focus on performance, reliability, and integration.

Develop detailed engineering documentation, including CAD models, wiring schematics, BOMs, build protocols, and quality control records.

Plan and execute hands‑on hardware prototyping, fabrication, iterative testing, and validation aligned with product and regulatory requirements to meet product development timelines.

Conduct design iterations, optimization and risk mitigation activities, including Design for Manufacturing, Assembly, Test, etc.

Plan, author, conduct, and document testing and experiments to verify design assumptions, performance, and safety compliance.

Support hardware integration with cloud and connectivity modules through design and physical layout considerations.

Assist with hardware certification and compliance processes for global standards such as FCC, CE, ISO, and potentially FDA 21 CFR Part 820 or ISO 13485 for future medical devices.

Collaborate with other colleagues, firmware, QA teams to ensure seamless hardware‑firmware integration.

Work with wider cross‑functional teams to address quality, manufacturability, supportability, and production scaling issues.

Manage project deliverables and milestones, while clearly communicating status, risks, and technical findings to leadership and team stakeholders.

Contribute to risk management and traceability documentation aligned with medical device lifecycle standards where applicable.

Maintain organized records of design revisions, test outcomes, and lessons learned for knowledge sharing and regulatory traceability.

Evaluate and implement new engineering tools and practices, including test and fabrication equipment, design simulation, AI and automation technologies, for future integration.

Demonstrates inclusion through their own words and actions and is accountable for a safe workspace. Acts with kindness, curiosity, and respect for others.

Embracing and being open to incorporating Promega’s 6 Emotional & Social Intelligence (ESI) core principles in daily work.
