Job Description & How to Apply Below

This role focuses on designing innovative medical devices by integrating electrical and mechanical systems, with a strong emphasis on injection‑molded components and capital equipment. The Mechanical Designer uses Solid Works and related tools to ideate, model, and document complex assemblies, supporting the development of a state‑of‑the‑art minimally invasive prostate cancer therapy device that has received U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation.

Job Title:

Mechanical Designer Responsibilities
  • Create and refine mechanical and electrical designs for medical devices using Solid Works, including complex assemblies and detailed components.
  • Ideate and sketch multiple design concepts, then translate these concepts into 3D component and assembly models and detailed engineering drawings.
  • Design injection‑molded parts, including at least 10 unique components, with a strong preference for extensive experience across 50 or more parts.
  • Develop fixturing designs for test methods, laboratory equipment, and production or manufacturing applications to support verification and validation activities.
  • Integrate electrical and mechanical components within capital systems such as infusion pumps, CT, MRI, X‑ray, ventilators, dialysis equipment, and surgical devices.
  • Use Product Data Management (PDM) systems to manage CAD files, configurations, and document change orders in a controlled environment.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers and technicians to communicate design concepts, ideas, and sketches clearly and effectively.
  • Support prototyping activities, including preparing models for 3D printing and evaluating prototypes to validate form, fit, and function.
  • Apply drafting standards and CAD best practices to ensure accuracy, manufacturability, and compliance with medical device design requirements.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of design processes, documentation practices, and design standards within the mechanical team.
Essential Skills
  • CAD/drafting degree from a two‑year technical college or equivalent technical education.
  • 3+ years of mechanical design experience, including 2‑5 years of hands‑on Solid Works use.
  • Proven product design experience with capital electrical and mechanical systems such as infusion pumps, CT, MRI, X‑ray, ventilators, dialysis, or surgical equipment.
  • Medical device design experience, particularly in regulated environments.
  • Demonstrated experience designing injection‑molded parts, including at least 10 parts and preferably over 50 parts for injection molding.
  • Extensive experience designing fixtures for test methods, lab equipment, and production or manufacturing applications.
  • Strong electrical and mechanical aptitude, with experience integrating electrical and mechanical components into cohesive systems.
  • Proficiency in Solid Works for component modeling, assembly modeling, and detailed drawing creation.
  • Experience using Product Data Management (PDM) systems to manage CAD data and document change orders.
  • Ability to clearly communicate concepts, ideas, and sketches to engineers and technicians, both verbally and through visual documentation.
Additional

Skills & Qualifications
  • Experience with Grand Avenue Software in conjunction with Solid Works.
  • Familiarity with master reference geometry that links to multiple child parts in parametric CAD environments.
  • Experience with drafting standards, CAD documentation, and document change order processes.
  • Background in electrical design and mechanical design within multidisciplinary product development teams.
  • Ability to support prototyping efforts, including preparation of models for 3D printing and iterative design refinement.
  • Strong collaboration skills and comfort working in a highly interactive, cross‑functional engineering environment.
  • Motivation to contribute to innovative medical technologies, including minimally invasive prostate cancer therapy devices recognized with U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation.
Work Environment

This position is 100% on‑site in a highly collaborative mechanical engineering environment. The Mechanical Designer works closely with four other members of the mechanical team and reports into the mechanical engineering leadership
