• Develop test methods, fixtures, and measurement tools to evaluate the performance of individual components, sub‑assemblies, and full assemblies
• Draw upon deep understanding of machining and injection molding fabrication techniques as well as develop internal capabilities and partner with vendors to push the boundary of performance while maintaining scalability
• Implement DFX best practices such as design for manufacturing, usability, and reliability on next generation devices
• Generate requirements, design specifications, and test methods that drive product safety, performance, and durability
• Develop, implement, test, and document new solutions, processes and designs according to corporate standards and departmental operating procedures
• Hands‑on assembly and testing of equipment and devices to support proof of concept, design development, pre‑clinical, and V&V activities
• Create and maintain Solid Works CAD databases, including assemblies, components, and detailed drawings
• Generate and execute test methods to investigate and establish root cause of design, manufacturing, or material defects
• Research and review literature and prior art to inform design recommendations and architectures
• Observe clinical cases and participate in interviews with clinical experts to inform designs
• Provide support for pre‑clinical and clinical labs
• Development and documentation of design and manufacturing including: inspection procedures, assembly instructions, test methods, purchase specifications, BOMs, component / assembly drawings per the company’s operating procedures

• BS or MS in Mechanical, Mechatronics or Biomedical Engineering
• 9+ years of experience in engineering product design of electromechanical hardware
• Independence in execution of projects from planning to results
• Experience in design of experiments preferred
• Hands‑on fixture and device design and development experience preferred
• Ability to determine testing strategy and methodologies
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills

• An understanding of necessary design control under ISO 9001
• Experience with rapid prototyping tools such as 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC machining
• Knowledge of test and measurement equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, force/temperature/pressure gauges, calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, etc.
• An appreciation for puns.

Help design and develop the core hardware behind next‑generation diagnostic systems, working at the intersection of mechanics, fluidics, optics, and robotics.

You’ll collaborate with a highly interdisciplinary team, have real ownership from concept through verification, and see your work directly shape products that move from prototype to pre‑clinical and clinical use.

Compensation will be determined based on the individual’s demonstrated experience, education, training, relevant certifications or licensure, and other applicable business and organizational factors.
