Would you like to contribute to improving the quality of life of people with hearing loss?

At Oticon/ITSA Medical, we develop, produce, and market bone-anchored hearing systems. At our site in Vallauris (Sophia Antipolis), in the south of France, we specialize in the production of active implantable Class III medical devices, and we now manage the worldwide distribution of the company’s full product portfolio. The site also hosts an R&D team and the French sales organization.

As part of our ongoing growth strategy, we are looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our Research & Development team, based in Sophia Antipolis.

Reporting to the Implant Systems Director, your main responsibility will be to design, develop, and/or test, in line with agreed quality standards and deadlines, the mechanical assemblies of implants and/or sound processors for bone conduction solutions.

You will collaborate with the various stakeholders involved in product development (R&D, Quality Assurance & Regulatory Affairs, Operations), as well as, where necessary, with potential external partners.

Main Tasks:

• Plan your own work to support the project plan. Report on progress and meeting agreed deadlines


• While contributing to it, autonomously coordinate all design activities for a mechanical subassembly (including collaboration with internal or external stakeholders, such as subcontractors)


• Design and develop mechanical assemblies that meet applicable requirements


• Carry out verification and characterization of mechanical subassemblies through a combination of simulations and physical lab testing


• Define the requirements applicable to incoming inspection and to production and functional testing


• Contribute to product sustainability (failure analysis, change management)


• Document work in accordance with the company's development processes


• Ensure compliance with applicable guidelines, standards, and practices


• Plan and lead design reviews to validate proposed solutions


• Deliver the DHF for a mechanical subassembly by collaborating with internal or external stakeholders and organize it so that it is clear and well presented.

Profile:

Required Skills:

• Engineering degree specializing in mechanics (electromechanics, micromechanics, mechatronics) with 5+ years of experience in the design of mechanical and micromechanical assemblies (CAD modeling and production), machining, injection molding, and over molding


• Experience in the development of medical devices


• Good knowledge of CAD software (CREO is a plus)


• Knowledge of various material technologies (metal, plastic)


• Experience in sterile packaging design, with knowledge of biosafety, reprocessing procedures, and sterilization qualification


• Methodical, analytical, and detail-oriented, with strong critical thinking skills; recognized for being proactive in proposing solutions, both on technical issues and on improving working methods


• Proficiency in English (reading, writing, speaking)

Desired Skills:

• Knowledge and experience in MRI and/or piezoelectric technology


• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to adapt to a variety of people
