Mechanical Design Engineer II
Department: Engineering
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Burlington, MA
Compensation: $100,000 - $115,000 / year
Description
The Mechanical Design Engineer II will be responsible for the design and development of powered orthotics for the MyoPro Product Line. This role requires a strong fundamental understanding of mechatronics as well as experience bringing products from early concept development to commercialization.
The ideal candidate is curious and solutions-oriented, with a passion for robotics, mechatronics, and ideally orthotics & prosthetics. He/she understands the importance of both incorporating user feedback and completing tasks on-schedule, as well as the necessity of sufficient documentation. (We are in a regulated environment after all)
Responsibilities
- Design and improve Myomo’s line of robotic exoskeletons.
- Interact with suppliers to obtain quotes and assess component manufacturability from a wide variety of sources, including CNC machining, sheet metal, textiles, orthotics, printed circuit boards, cable harnesses, and injection molding.
- Collaborate with peers to develop testing protocols and fixtures to verify performance and improve line-side manufacturing.
- Effectively utilize CAD designs to bring early-stage concepts through to cost-effective manufacturing and sourcing.
- Construct prototypes and critically evaluate performance using numerical and qualitative techniques.
- Manage small technical projects with a cross-disciplinary team.
- Drafting, tolerancing, and DFM for low-mid volume manufacture.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or higher level degree in mechanical engineering.
- 3+ years of industry experience, master’s degree and 2+ years’ industry experience, or PhD.
- Experience with electromechanical product development and manufacturing.
- Functional knowledge of rapid-prototyping and volume manufacturing processes including 3D
printing, CNC machining, and injection molding. - Proficiency with Solidworks, simulation tools, and advanced drafting and tolerancing.
- Experience integrating actuation, sensing, and electronics in compact packages.
- Industry experience with wearables, medical devices, or robotics.
- Excellent written/verbal, interpersonal, and organizational skills with attention to detail.
- Working knowledge of ISO 13485 design control principles and documentation standards.
- Ability to structure and prioritize technical project work to meet deadlines in a risk averse manner.
- Works well independently and in a team environment.
