Job description

R&D Mechanical Design Engineer (Principal / Senior / Mechanical Design Engineer)

Our client is a fast growing medtech company who is developing advanced surgical robots that make surgical operations safer, faster, and less invasive. With the HQ in China, Singapore houses the R&D center and the local team of researchers and product development engineers works on cutting-edge technology for procedures like biopsies and keyhole surgeries. By combining robotics, AI, and smart design, they’re helping shape the future of surgery — making it more precise and patient-friendly. We are currently hiring for the new headcount of R&D Mechanical Design Engineer.

Responsibilities

• As part of the Mechanical Design team; you will provide mechanical and mechanism engineering expertise in the R&D of surgical robotic system.
• This includes designing mechanisms, structures and integrating actuators, motion components, and sensors to achieve innovative product functionalities.

Requirements

• Bachelor or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering with hands‑on experience in the structure design & development of surgical robotic system or surgical instrument.
• You should have finished at least one full cycle of product development.
• Strong technical capability in mechanism design and fabrication of precision or micro instruments.
• Strong technical capability to understand designs for mechanical structure and electro‑mechanical assemblies.
• Good knowledge of various materials (metal and plastic), coating and manufacturing processes for precision parts.
• Proficient in 3D CAD modelling and simulation software like SolidWorks.
• Good knowledge and experience in GD&T, tolerance stack‑up analysis.
• Good knowledge and experience in performing FEA and motion analysis and technical review of mechanism design.
• Ability to communicate (speak and write documentation) in Mandarin is preferred as you will be liaising closely with other support departments in China HQ.
• Final position (Principal / Senior / Engineer) offered will commensurate with your years of relevant experience.
• Familiar with regulatory and compliance requirements for the development of medical product.
