Senior Mechanical Engineer - Medical Devices

Are you passionate about bringing medical technologies from concept to reality?

We're seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and development of innovative medical devices that make a meaningful impact on patient care. In this highly visible role, you'll own critical engineering projects from early concept through commercialization, collaborating with cross-functional teams to create products that are safe, effective, manufacturable, and scalable. This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing organization where your technical expertise, creativity, and leadership will directly influence product success and help shape the future of our engineering capabilities.

What

You'll Do

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you'll take ownership of complex product development initiatives while serving as a key technical contributor and partner across the organization.

  • Lead mechanical design and product development efforts from concept through design transfer and commercial launch.
  • Create innovative engineering solutions that address clinical needs, user requirements, and business objectives.
  • Develop 3D CAD models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings using Solid Works.
  • Drive design decisions related to materials, manufacturing processes, reliability, performance, and cost.
  • Collaborate closely with Electrical, Software, Quality, Regulatory, Product Management, and Manufacturing teams to deliver integrated medical device solutions.
  • Plan and execute prototype builds, testing activities, and design iterations.
  • Lead design verification and validation efforts to ensure products meet performance, safety, and regulatory requirements.
  • Perform engineering analyses including tolerance stack-ups, risk assessments, and manufacturability reviews.
  • Support risk management activities including FMEA and fault-tree analysis.
  • Partner with suppliers and manufacturing teams to optimize designs for production and scale-up.
  • Support design transfer activities and help ensure smooth product launches.
  • Drive continuous product improvements, troubleshooting efforts, and cost-reduction initiatives for existing products.
  • Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across project teams.
