Formación

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Biomedical Engineering, or related field.
• 3+ years of people leadership experience (managing engineers/teams).
• Demonstrated experience designing electromechanical systems: actuators, gear trains, bearings, transmissions, mechanisms.
• Strong hands-on experience with CAD (SolidWorks, Creo or equivalent), GD&T, tolerance analysis, and rapid prototyping techniques.
• Track record of taking products from concept through verification and transfer to manufacturing.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to influence cross-functional and executive stakeholders.
• Some travel, domestic and international to be expected (supplier sites, manufacturing transfers, clinical support).

Responsabilidades

• Lead, mentor, and grow a global mechanical R&D team. Drive hiring, performance management, and career development.
• Define mechanical system and sub-system architecture for robotic platforms.
• Translate clinical and product requirements into detailed mechanical designs, specifications, DFx, and engineering change controls.
• The role includes some hands-on part in parallel to people leadership.
• Deliver prototypes and production-ready designs on program schedule and budget; manage trade-offs between performance, cost, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Establish and drive robust verification & validation plans (unit, subsystem, system testing) and support clinical and bench testing programs.
• Ensure design outputs meet medical device quality and regulatory expectations (risk management, FMEA, design history file requirements, ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR 820 familiarity).
• Partner with supply chain and manufacturing to qualify suppliers, support DFM/DFM reviews, ramp to production, and transfer designs to operations.
• Lead cross-functional design reviews and provide clear technical decision-making; elevate and mitigate technical and schedule risks.
• Manage project budgets, resource planning, and deliverable tracking for assigned programs.
