Dilon Technologies |Engineering | Full-time| On-site

Dilon Technologies is an innovative medical device company headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, dedicated to advancing breast health through cutting-edge medical technologies. With a focus on improving patient outcomes, Dilon develops and commercializes solutions that support healthcare professionals in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer.

Our product portfolio includes Margin Probe, Navigator, and True View, technologies designed to enhance surgical precision, improve clinical decision-making, and support quality patient care.

At Dilon, we are committed to innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Our team offers employees the opportunity to work in a dynamic, hands-on environment where individual contributions make a meaningful difference.

Our mission is to provide innovative medical technologies that empower healthcare professionals and improve the lives of patients.

Dilon Technologies is looking for a Mechanical / Manufacturing Engineer to design the mechanical side of our next-generation medical devices and make sure they can be built reliably s is a hybrid role: about half new product development (mechanical design) and half manufacturing engineering in support of production.

You’ll be the team’s mechanical expert, working closely with our systems, electrical, software, and test engineers on new products, and with operations on the production floor. We’re focused on new product development, so the design side of this role is a priority, not an afterthought.

• Product design: Design enclosures, housings, mechanisms, shielding, and structural components for medical devices, from concept through production release.
• CAD and drawings: Create 3D models, assemblies, and fully toleranced 2D drawings using GD&T in Solid Works.
• Analysis: Perform tolerance stack-ups, material selection, and engineering analysis (structural, thermal, drop/impact) as needed.
• DFM/DFA: Design for manufacturability, assembly, cleaning/disinfection, and serviceability, applying your manufacturing experience early in the design.
• Prototyping: Build and test prototypes; work with machine shops, molders, and other suppliers on rapid iterations.
• Design controls: Work with the systems engineer on mechanical requirements, interfaces, and risk analysis; support V&V testing of mechanical features.
• Documentation: Write design documentation for the DHF, including design rationale, test[KL1][SB2] plans, protocols, reports, and inputs to design reviews.
• Biocompatibility: Select materials with biocompatibility in mind, and support biological evaluation per ISO 10993-1, including biological evaluation plans, test plans, and coordination with external test labs. Also support cleaning/disinfection compatibility as needed.

• Processes and work instructions: Develop and maintain assembly processes, work instructions, and travelers for production builds.
• Fixtures and tooling: Design and qualify fixtures, tooling, and assembly aids.
• Process validation: Lead process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ) and test method validation for manufacturing processes.
• Production support: Support the production floor: troubleshoot build issues, disposition nonconforming material (NCMRs), and drive root cause and corrective action (CAPA).
• Suppliers: Qualify suppliers and components, work through supplier quality issues, and handle part obsolescence and second-sourcing.
• Change control: Own engineering change orders (ECOs) for mechanical parts and manufacturing documentation in our PLM system (Arena).
• Design transfer: Lead design transfer…
