Job description

Verathon® is looking for a Mechanical Engineer (Level II or III, based on experience) to become the newest member of our Urology R&D team located in Bothell, WA. This role is expected to work on-site at our Bothell facility and will design and develop mechanical systems and components for an exciting new program targeted at improving patient outcomes in a urological endoscopy procedure, offering the opportunity to contribute to, and at the Level III, help shape, Verathon’s newest urology product within our established new product development framework.

The Mechanical Engineer is responsible for the mechanical design, analysis, and development of medical device components, subsystems, and complex systems. This includes translating system requirements into detailed mechanical designs, conducting engineering analysis (stress, thermal, tolerance), developing and testing prototypes, supporting design verification and validation testing, and ensuring designs are manufacturable and meet regulatory compliance standards. Utilizing Verathon’s NPD process and Quality Management System, the Mechanical Engineer works closely with systems engineering, electrical engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams throughout the product development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Serve as technical contributor for major development projects or multiple simultaneous projects
• Ensure that engineering design activities follow the development procedure and maintain strict design control
• Create and release product requirements, design specifications and design descriptions for assigned projects, as required by applicable medical device standards and internal procedures
• Interact with internal and external stakeholders as well as manufacturing resources to design for manufacturability, reliability, and cost-effectiveness
• Design robust systems using knowledge of manufacturing process capabilities and component tolerance requirements
• Research design options and perform experiments to determine potential design feasibility or remediate previous designs
• Contribute to project scope, and coordinate proposals and expense controls; support development of business justifications and cost proposals for capital equipment, prototyping, and V&V activities
• Research and implement emerging technologies to advance medical device design using appropriate materials and technology that can be transferred to production and manufacturing systems
• Design 3D models and 2D drawings including but not limited to injection molded plastic, machined components, dynamic systems, stamped sheet metal and integrated systems
• Use additive manufacturing technologies in part design and prototyping (knowledge desired at Level II; required at Level III)
• Level III: Share knowledge within the team through mentoring and formal and informal instruction

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, or relevant engineering field of study is required
• Experience with solid modeling; SolidWorks preferred
• Level II: Typically requires a minimum of 2 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or an advanced degree without experience; or equivalent work experience
• Level III: Typically requires a minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree, or 3 years and a Master’s degree or PhD
• Level II: Experience in the medical device industry or other highly regulated industry is preferred
• Level III: 3+ years in the medical device industry or other highly regulated industry
• Strong technical aptitude and problem-solving skills
• Experience with MathCAD, Minitab, and Python is preferred
• Product development experience in a medical device environment specific to endoscopic or other minimally invasive devices is preferred; for Level III, particularly sterile single-use and electro-mechanical products
• Knowledge of design for injection molding is preferred

Salary Range

• Level II: $96,985.00 - $118,400.00
• Level III: $111,181.00 - $146,495.00
