Mechanical Test Engineer

We are looking for a Mechanical Test Engineer to support R&D activities involving capital equipment, instruments, disposables, and related medical-device subsystems.

This is a hands-on role focused on prototype development, engineering testing, test fixture development, troubleshooting, dimensional inspection, and technical documentation. The successful candidate will work closely with engineering teams to improve product designs and provide practical feedback on manufacturability, fit, function, tolerancing, and design robustness.

100% On-site

• Create, build, modify, troubleshoot, and test mechanical and electromechanical prototypes, assemblies, fixtures, and subsystems.
• Support mechanical design iterations through prototype fabrication, assembly, fit checks, tolerance evaluation, and structured troubleshooting.
• Design and build engineering test fixtures and development tooling using machining, additive manufacturing, hand fabrication, and commercially available components.
• Set up and execute engineering tests for design characterization, design verification, reliability, and process validation.
• Collect, analyze, and accurately document test data, observations, and results.
• Support the development and improvement of test methods, including fixture definition, equipment selection, repeatability, and acceptance criteria.
• Read and interpret mechanical drawings, CAD models, specifications, tolerances, GD&T, and bills of material.
• Provide practical feedback related to manufacturability, fit, function, tolerancing, and design robustness.
• Support the creation, revision, and release of engineering documentation, including drawings, test methods, protocols, reports, work instructions, and design records.
• Operate, troubleshoot, and maintain R&D laboratory equipment, measurement tools, prototype fabrication equipment, and test systems.
• Perform dimensional and functional inspections of prototype components using appropriate metrology tools.
• Communicate deviations, anomalies, and opportunities for design improvement clearly to engineering teams.
• Coordinate prototype builds, test setups, equipment availability, and test execution according to project schedules and engineering priorities.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Systems, Electrical, Software, Disposables, Operations, Quality, and suppliers to resolve technical issues and support product-development activities.
• Follow approved procedures, protocols, good documentation practices, and applicable quality-system requirements.

• 3+ years of relevant experience as an engineering technician, mechanical technician, prototype technician, or equivalent hands-on technical role preferred.
• Experience working with mechanical or electromechanical prototypes, assemblies, fixtures, and testing.
• Experience interpreting mechanical drawings, CAD models, specifications, tolerances, and bills of material.

• Hands-on experience with prototype fabrication, assembly, troubleshooting, and testing.
• Knowledge of mechanical testing methods and measurement techniques.
• Experience with dimensional inspection and metrology tools.
• Ability to understand and apply tolerance concepts and GD&T.
• Ability to document test procedures, results, observations, and technical findings accurately.

• Experience supporting medical-device R&D, new product development, design verification, or reliability testing
  .
• Experience working in a regulated industry with exposure to GMP, ISO, FDA, or comparable quality-system requirements
  .
• Experience with Solid Works or other 3D CAD software
  .
• Experience with tolerance stack-up concepts.
• Experience with prototype machining and additive manufacturing/3D printing.
• Experience designing or improving engineering fixtures, test methods, and prototype build processes.
• Experience working with mechanical test equipment and R&D laboratory environments.

• An international community bringing together more than 110 different nationalities
• An environment where trust is central: 70% of our leaders started their careers at the entry level
• A strong training system with our internal Academy and more than 250 modules available
