Design Engineer II

Applied Medical is a new generation medical device company with a proven business model and commitment to innovation fueled by rapid business growth and expansion. Our company has been developing and manufacturing advanced surgical technologies for over 30 years and has earned a strong reputation for excellence in the healthcare field. Our unique business model, combined with our dedication to delivering the highest quality products, enables team members to contribute in a larger capacity than is possible in typical positions.

The Design Engineer II contributes to Applied Medical's Technology and Development Mechanical team by designing and developing medical device components, assemblies, and fixtures that directly support the advancement of surgical technology. Working onsite at Applied Medical's global headquarters, this role operates within a cross‑functional team environment to take products from concept through detailed design, documentation, and integration into the manufacturing process.

The Design Engineer II applies mechanical engineering principles, Computer‑Aided Design (CAD) modeling, and hands‑on prototyping skills to solve complex design challenges and deliver solutions that meet rigorous quality and regulatory standards. Professionals with backgrounds in mechanical design engineering, biomedical device development, product development engineering, or manufacturing engineering will find this role a strong fit.

• Design and develop medical device components, assemblies, and fixtures using CAD software, including two‑dimensional and three‑dimensional modeling and detailed engineering drawings in Solid Works.
• Prepare and maintain comprehensive design documentation, including drawings, specifications, design reviews, and supporting technical materials that meet Applied Medical's quality and regulatory standards.
• Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to ensure design intent is accurately communicated and manufacturable within specification.
• Build and test physical prototypes hands‑on to validate design concepts, evaluate performance, and identify opportunities for improvement prior to production.
• Identify and resolve design issues by analyzing root causes, generating solution concepts, and implementing changes in a structured and documented manner.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams, including engineers, product managers, and manufacturing teams, to ensure seamless integration of designs into the broader product development process.
• Contribute to design reviews, risk analyses, and validation activities in support of regulatory compliance and product quality objectives.
• Stay current on engineering principles, materials, manufacturing processes, and emerging design technologies relevant to medical device development.

• Delivering detailed, accurate, and manufacturable design documentation that supports smooth handoffs to manufacturing and cross‑functional partners.
• Producing prototype iterations that meaningfully advance design validation and reduce development risk within established project timelines.
• Applying sound engineering judgment to identify design problems early and implement well‑reasoned solutions independently and within a team setting.
• Building effective working relationships across engineering, manufacturing, and product management that keep design integration on track.
• Demonstrating consistent growth in technical depth and design ownership, taking on increasingly complex components and assemblies over time.
• Upholding Applied Medical's standards for design quality, documentation accuracy, and regulatory compliance across every phase of the development process.
