Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer - Wearable Skin Interface

Sava; England; Sur place; GBP 60 000 - 90 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

SAVA in the United Kingdom is seeking a Senior R&D Mechanical Engineer to own early-stage experimental work on our wearable sensor. You will set the experimental strategy, define DoE, and translate complex data into clear design decisions that shape the product.

A major focus is the body device adhesion and wear performance, plus building robust lab capability and mentoring junior engineers. You'll work with biomaterials, sensor and electronics leads to translate findings into design

Qualifications

• A Masters or PhD in mechanical engineering or closely related field.
• 6+ years of hands-on experimental R&D.
• Led technical workstreams end-to-end.
• Expert in experimental design and statistics (DoE, ANOVA, regression, capability analysis).
• Experience with mechanical and materials testing.
• Ability to design test fixtures and prototypes (CAD, 3D printing, machining).
• Fluent data analysis in Python, MATLAB, Minitab, JMP or similar.

Responsabilités

• Own the adhesive and device-skin interface workstream end to end: material strategy, peel/shear/tack testing, wear-time studies and failure analysis.
• Set the experimental approach for early R&D - define DoE and screening strategies, and ensure statistical soundness.
• Design and build test rigs, fixtures and methods from quick prototypes to robust lab procedures.
• Lead selection, evaluation and qualification of new test equipment and author the methods behind it.
• Drive early-stage concept work on new materials and mechanical designs from hypothesis to recommendation.
• Collaborate with biomaterials, sensor and electronics leads to translate findings into design decisions.
• Mentor junior engineers and scientists on experimental design, statistics and lab practice.
• Communicate results and recommendations clearly to the leadership team.
• Shape the test strategy for design verification toward a regulated medical device.
